Confiscate the camera...I'm out of control!

I'm giving you advanced warning that there are a lot of pictures on this post.

Cooper in his going home outfit. Thanks Erin & Robbie :)

I was released from the hospital on Sunday. Todd had gone to church with Fisher & my mom so Cooper and I had a relaxing morning to spend together all by ourselves.

Last picture before leaving our room and heading home.

Cooper's first moments home. I wanted to remember how small he looks in his car seat since I know it won't last forever.

I think we have a Fisher in the making...check out the attitude :) Looking back on pictures of Fisher I really don't think the boys look all that much a like. However, their facial expressions are spitting images of eachother.

Fisher wanted to measure himself next to "his baby." It is so amazing how our perceptions change. Todd & and I always viewed Fisher as our little baby. All of a sudden he seems HUGE. All it took was a 7 lb baby to make us realize that Fisher is no longer that little.

Fisher has been so sweet and gentle with Cooper. There have been a couple of days where he has acted up a little and we know this is a result of all the recent changes. I cannot wait to have a little more energy so that I can spend more time with Fisher.

We sure love our boys.

Fisher loves helping although I have to admit I do not always like Fisher's idea of helping. Here we are giving Cooper his first little sponge bath. He was not a fan. Fisher was a fan of dumping the water on the floor.

All clean!

I love this picture and wanted to put it on here for no other reason than that.

Fisher was/is a thumb sucker so the whole pacifier thing is new to us. Cooper loves his pacifier.

We call him our little pirate. He is always staring at us with one eye open. All we need is a little eye patch.

My mom has spent most of her time helping us with cooking, cleaning and Fisher but every now and then she gets her Cooper cuddle time :)

She and Fisher spent one morning looking at his baby pictures. He thinks it is so funny that he used to be a baby.

Cooper spends majority of his time sleeping. He hates having his diaper changed. He refuses to eat if his diaper is dirty. He has just about conquered nursing, which is wonderful since Fisher had a harder time with it. Although looking back, it might have been me with the problem. I was a stress case. I am telling you, this time around has seemed so much more relaxed and enjoyable! I guess I should probably wait to say that until Todd is back in school, the company is gone and I have the boys by myself...

Fisher loves holding his baby brother.

I'm thinking this will be the first of many brawls :)

Spent after a hard day of eating, pooping and sleeping.

So we are starting to think that Fisher might be cracking a little with the new changes in his life. The other day I noticed him playing with a bug (nothing new) and when I asked him what kind of bug it was he said it was a fly. A FLY. Disgusting. I could not figure out how he could be playing with a fly considering they are skittish little beasts but there it was, climbing around Fisher's arm & hand like a little lady bug.

I hate flies so of course I am gagging and freaking out but then Fisher said "I think he loves me!" He was so excited about his little pet fly that we let him have a few minutes with him. It turns out the fly was so docile because he was on his death bed.

Within about ten minutes, Fisher was carrying around a dead fly in his hand. Think of Dumb & Dumber and the "pretty bird" scene and you'll get the right idea. I'm thinking we need to give Fisher a little more attention :)

Some exciting news for our family is that my brother Ken and his wife Alicia, introduced a new little cousin/nephew into the world on the 23rd. Ethan Richard was born only four days after Cooper. We are so excited to have the boys so close in age! Ethan is so adorable and has the most impressive head of hair I have ever seen. Congratulations Ken, Alicia & Abby!
