Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas before I leave town.

2006 has been a blessing for many of us here, but has also been stressful for others. By reading through posts, I see a lot of positive potential for 2007 tho! For those of you anticipating the events to come after the first of the new year ... VERY BEST WISHES!!

Cooper was 8 weeks yesterday and went for his first vaccinations. He has gone from 8.7lbs at birth to 13.8lbs ... and from 19.75 inches to 25 inches!! He's smiling and laughing and making so many noises. He looks for us when he hears our voices ... and he discovered the ceiling fan! It's amazing what changes can occur in 8 short weeks. And I'm looking forward to every new change that is yet to come.

Oh, and he's sleeping through the night! He's been going down between 9pm & 10pm and was sleeping until 3-3:30. But this week he's been sleeping until 5-5:30! And when he wakes up, he's in the BEST mood ... all smiles!

Well, time to go. I hope is good to everyone!

What a lovely update Leisa. Cooper must be such a joy at this Holiday season.

I noticed your other children's names all start with an "A". Cooper graduated to another letter of the alphabet.

A very Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."

*lol* Yes, Cooper gets to be unique. DH's girls all start with "A" as well ... Amber, Ashley, Andrea & Ashton. We found that rather ironic when we met. We talked about continuing with the A's, but then decided that since we each did A's with our first spouses, we'd choose a different letter this time around. In hind-sight, I think it would have been funny if we had gone with a "Z"!!!
