September...what a fun month!!

Wow, what a jam-packed month for the McMullan household!! Here's our month in a nutshell...save of course for the fact that Cooper joined our world!!!

We were able to spend some fun time with my sister-in-law, Lee and her son Zachary. Zach is just 9 weeks younger than Eric...so, imagine the fun those two boys had together!!

Here is Rachel holding her new pride-and-joy!! She is a great big sis and loves to hold Cooper! I even caught her carrying him across the living room! Thank goodness her daddy made it a point to teach her the importance of holding his head up!!




A picture of all "FIVE" Jennings grandchildren. My three, Rachel, Eric and Cooper. Then there is Zachary and Cooper is laying on #5 who is due early March!! So exciting. We can't wait to find out who this new little one will be!!




So, every morning Cooper gets up and starts his day around 6am. We do a quick feeding and then head off to sissy's room to wake her up...Look at this sweet baby!! How can you not love this face!! Anyway, once in Rachel's room, Cooper crawls in bed with her and wakes her up. I really think this is one of her favorite parts of the day. It only started b/c I had a morning when I realized I had forgotten to pick out her school clothes the night before!! So, I put Coop in bed with Rach while I got her clothes out...well, ever since then..that's what we do! Here is Rachel teaching Cooper about her best friend, Lambie!! They are so cute!



FIRST BATH!!
Not sure Cooper was a fan of the whole bath thing!! However, Rachel and Eric thought it was SO cool to have him in the tub with them!!!






Okay...so, whoever said that newborns who suck their hands, fingers or thumbs are just lucky...that they only accidentally found them...I'm here to say - WHATEVER!! My son is a sucker!! We are actually working on the paci so that he will stop sucking his fingers so much! I figure that the pacifier will be easier to break him of when he's older...can't really take his hand away!!


Oh yeah, that's my little man holding his head up!! This is his THREE week picture! What an awesome little guy he is!! And so strong already!!



I have more pics, but will post them later!! Love to all and thanks to everyone for helping us out as we adjust to life with three!!

Happy 7th Anniversary!!

Dear Brooks! I love you! Happy 7th Anniversary!

You are by far the greatest gift from God. What an amazing husband, father and friend you are. Your example of a Godly husband is evident in all you do. Thank you for being a man of such integrity, sincerity and unconditional love! Mostly, thanks for putting up with me! I love you, now and always...

Cooper Samuel

Cooper Samuel McMullan made his grand entrance at 0854 on 09.09.09.
Cooper weighed 7.8 ounces and was 19.25" long.
The c-section was fast and I wish I could say painless, but oh well! Cooper is healthy and strong and doing really well!! I have tons of pictures and will post more in a bit, but here are a few highlight pictures from this past Wednesday!
Cooper, Mommy & Daddy.

Our first family photo!

Daddy and Cooper already making funny faces together!


Mommy and her baby boy!

Cooper coming home. Apparently, the Sooners were waiting for Cooper to watch this season of football, as they won big in honor of Coop's homecoming!
Thanks for all your prayers and support! We love you all and appreciate each of you.

Sweet Cousins!!

I'm so excited to have Lee and Zachary (sister-in-law and nephew) here for the birth of baby #3...and Chad and Jamie (older brother and fiancee) will be showing up late Thursday night! Now, if only my little brother could be here!! We've always been so lucky that the McMullan side of the family could be here for each birth...but, this time we traded off, it appears! Half of the McMullan's will be traveling to Disney World and the Jennings will be my moral support this time!
Rachel and Eric were SOOOOOO excited this morning...this was them waiting by the door for Zachary!
Eric and Zachary being silly boys!! I so wish they lived here so they could play together more!! And they DO play so well together!!
All three...Zachary, Rachel and Eric!



And my dad insisted on another pregnant picture. Here I am two days out from having the boy...Lee is 13 weeks!
