He’s the baby and he knows it. This is Cooper Trey. He gets what he wants when he wants it from his big brothers, and can handle his own when it’s time to wrestle. But he’ll also sit and play with your eyelashes as still as he can be.
Last night I went in to check on this little thing in his crib. He had torn apart another book, and was sitting there in all the shredded paper piles. He looked up at me with the sweetest face, which is how he gets away with things, and whispered, “down”, which means “up” to him. I picked him up and told him that he needed to go to sleep, so he grabbed my face and smashed our noses together and started a low, fake laugh in an attempt to be cute. It worked.
We didn’t plan on having three kids. In fact, we never actually “planned” any of our kids, but Cooper was the biggest surprise. The older he gets and the more his personality shapes, the more I realize that out family wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s the entertainment. He’s the “shake your head and smile” moments during rough days. He’s the sweet hugs late at night, and the laugh that infects the house. He’s a sweet guy and I’m glad we get to keep him. We love this little thing. He’s a perfect addition to our crazy family. Here’s a video Kristin put on her blog last Tuesday introducing you to our MiniCoop.
Welcome to Tuesday again. For those of you just showing up here’s how it works. It’s pretty simple. (1) Write something nice about someone, building them up, encouraging them, you know.. being nice. (2) Fill out the box below.

2 weeks in a row - woo-hoo! I love this story about Cooper, what a blessing he has been to your family! You and Kristin are lucky to have a house filled with 3 beautiful, ummm…*cough* handsome, boys!
I get about 200 of those little, “who me?”, smiles a day and it does seem to get them out of a lot of trouble. I think that God made kids extra cute to help temper our tempers sometimes. Lovely post and I hope to have the chance to read more.
Yay, I’m finally getting in on this!
Your boys are so adorable. I can’t get over it.
