New place to keep up with Coop

For anyone who is interested in keeping up with cooper i have opened a myspace account because it is easier to add photos....please copy and paste this link and take a look how big he is getting
www.myspace.com/thehinson

He sure did look cute, though!

Runner Up Costume - A Lion? Cooper didn't quite agree!

Sometimes I wonder how God blessed us with the cutest little boy in the world! We are so lucky to call Cooper our son.

Halloween 2007

Cooper decided that the best fit costume would be a pirate. I think the hat is what sold it since he LOVES hats! He is hysterical in it and has worn it every couple of days to get used to it. I better slow down or he may want to wear it all the time!

Cooper Loves to Play Outside!

I know that it has been months since I have posted any photos and let me apologize. Cooper has kept us super busy along with work and life! He is now 18 1/2 months old and runs the show! He is extremely active and LOVES sports! He thinks everything and anything is a ball...or, excuse me, a "Ga". And, footballs, baseballs, and basketballs are "Ga-Ga's". Maybe spelling it looks funny but it is the cutest thing to hear! So, here are a few updated photos and I hope that everyone enjoys them!

Auntie Em and Coop taking a swim

My new favorite photo! How cute are these 2? Cooper would walk into the pool with his clothes on if we let him. A true water baby.

Boy, he thought he was funny!

Coop stole Daddy's Full Monty hat!

Mommy's 2 Firemen!

Daddy was able to join in on the fun as well!

We even got to ride on the fire truck!

He loved his new fireman hat!

Cooper drives a fire truck!

New Pictures

We just got these great pics back from Carmen Wilson (www.carmenwilson.com)....
She is the same wonderful photographer that did our pregnancy photos....i may be bit bias but she did a great job ......coop is now famous.......... she added two huge pictures of him to her gallery and he is also featured on her website.....if you get a chance take a look at her website....she is amazing.....
coop is almost 15 months and everyday is an adventure....and i love ever minute of it....

This is my favorite picture....

how freakin cute is my little guy

i love him so much

look what i found

what a looker

My little man.

The Hinson's

What a smile

My little man.

He is getting so BiG

The boy is a water baby.

We have been having a great time in the pool.

A good time at the beach was had by all!

He absolutely loved playing in the sand. Too bad the sand loved him so much that we brought half the beach home with us!

Coop had a blast at the beach. He will truly grow up a "sun baby". He is already working on his Coppertone baby tan.

Coop's 1st Beach Trip!

He ran straight for the water, ladies and gentlemen! This child has NO FEAR! What will we do with him?

This kid LOVES water!

Cooper and I went to play in the fountains at Fishhawk (a neighborhood down the road from us) with some of the mom's and kids from our playgroup. Coop would stay in the water all day if I let him. He has so much fun getting wet I hate to be the bad guy and take him home. He has grown so much in a year that I'm not sure where the time has gone. Play, Coop, play!

COOPER IS WALKING!!!

It's official...Coop has been taking "baby steps" since about a week before his birthday but he is now giving us a run for our money! He is such a cutie when he walks. He looks like a drunk Irishmen, whether he is tired (or drunk :-)) or not! We are so excited that he has almost accomplished walking. Now, if he were only off to college.........

The final result...boy, was he a mess. It took 2 days to scrub away all the strawberry juice that stained his skin! Being a mom...it's the best, even on a day like this!

Here is a cute photo of the boy picking strawberries. We went to a place with our playgroup to pick strawberries and the boy had a blast! I think he ate more than we picked!

Coop loved the wading pool after the cake!

Daddy took Coop on a quick spin in the bouncy castle before the party started!

The Official "COOPAPALOOZA" Banner! (thanks to Uncle Richie)

Daddy took the hose to Cooper when he was done!

DIGGING IN!!!

Coop tearing into his cake...

Initial landing in the cake....

Here's how the cake started...

Happy 1st Birthday, Cooper!

Check this kid out. He has hit the BIG 1. March 23, 2006 was when this guy came into our world. I still can't believe it. I feel like just yesterday I was still wondering around pregnant and wondering when I was going to have the baby. And yet here he is in all his glory. He had a great birthday party and a fun weekend to top it off. Our baby, Jacob Cooper Hinson, is 1. It is very cliche, but wow how time flies!

This picture was taken mid-January and I really can't believe how much time has passed. Nic' and I were just talking about what a cute little boy he has become. He truly is the light of our lives and I don't remember life before him. Thank God we were blessed with the cutest, sweetest, and most adorable little boy in the world.

We really enjoyed Cooper's 1st Christmas!

COOPER LOVED CHRISTMAS!

Cooper enjoyed Julia's piano so much that Auntie Em made sure there was one under the tree Christmas morning. He still bangs away on it. Maybe mom's dreams will come true and Cooper will become a world renown musician. I already know.......not if Daddy has anything to do with it!

Uncle Richie let Cooper gobble up some of the homemade cookies one of our great neighbors dropped off. As you can see I caught them in the act. Coop's sugar high was off the charts that day! Thanks, Uncle Richie!

Cooper NEVER misses a meal. Ever.

Uncle Richie made it for Coop's 1st Christmas!

Daddy said it...."All Coop needs is a box and a stick."

Coop met the "official" Santa at the mall and did a little bit of squirming!

Coop's 1st time meeting the Fat Guy in Red!

Cooper loves playing the piano!

Cooper spending time with his good friend, Julia

Coop was drinking from his sippie cup by 9 months!

Cooper loves eating Big Boy Food!

COOPER LOVES HIS AUNTIE EM!

Another one of Mommy's Favorite Photos!

Cooper Takes on Hyde Park as they light the Christmas Tree!

Daddy and his little man, Coop

This was taken the day after Thanksgiving and I still can't explain why it is one of my favorite Cooper photos. This is his normal, questioning look but for some reason I don't think that anyone sees it as much as we do. He truly has light in his eyes......I know, I know, all children do. But being that this is my first it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. Especially when his eyes light up when Nic' or I come in the room. Absolutely amazing. These kind of photos make me just as happy as the smiling ones do!

The Hinson's on Turkey Day!

GOING OUT ON THE TOWN!

Here's Cooper getting dressed up to go out on a cold night. Daddy always has every detail to the outfits Coop wears. You know when Mommy dresses him.....he is in overalls with no shirt underneath or I accidentally "mix-up" his designer wardrobe. (Tommy Hilfiger shirt with Polo jeans, Nike shirt and pants with Puma shoes, you get the picture!) Now we just tell Daddy where we are going and most of the time he dresses him. I'm okay with this deal! He is TOO much of a wiggle worm.

Cooper got into the cabinets MUCH sooner than expected!

So, my dear husband has passed the torch to me to keep up with the blog. I will try to do my best to post every few days...and I will try to keep up with the high standards that you all have come to expect from Cooper's dad. After all, I am Cooper's mom!

Daddy and I surprised Mommy with Krispy Kreme! Yummy!

I took my 1st carousel ride at the mall. It was so much fun! I was such a natural at it. I even knew where to put my hands and everything! Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. They always are. Are they always going to be like this? I'm starting to get worried.....

My 1st of many ice cream cones!

Here I am....waiting for the fat guy in red!

I was SO ready for SANTA!

I LOVE BATHTIME!

Mom is going to take over the BLOG

i am taking a sabbatical for awhile.......the COOPER has become such a time consuming part of my life.....i have found that i enjoy spending every free moment with him, rather than posting..and when i do have the time to post, i prefer to sleep (haha)...so, with that i am bringing my better half to take over....i have spoken very highly of her and i know she will do a great job continuing with the COOPER BLOG...i will post periodically, but for now i am going to play with my son....take care...and thanks to all of you for your nice posts...

so long for now

I have now told everyone the true secret to my success......SO THANKS MOMMA J

what a great kid

Coop meets his grandpa

I did not know that the wifey took this very special picture of coop and I saying hi to his grandpa and my dad, but I am very happy she did....I will cherish this moment forever.

coop gettin some lovin from his carolina family,

and my hot wifey is there too.

My favorite picture yet

HOW YOU DOIN?

I love being coop's dad

he is getting so big and his personality is showing through more everyday....he is 12 weeks and it just seems like yesterday I was learning how to burp him....I don't know if I will ever be able to put into words the pure joy my son brings to me everyday.....my hot wifey is the most amazing mother....she takes everything in stride...I still get worried when we are out and he starts crying...trust me, its not that I care what anyone else thinks...it is just that most of the tricks and toys I calm him down with are at the house....so when he gets upset I feel like I am a one legged man in a ass kicking contest.....but not her, she simply takes him from me and he stops.......it is amazing ....I think they both do it to me on purpose to get a rise out of me....haha.....

seriously though, it has been great ....we took our first road trip a week or so ago, up to North Carolina.......coop did amazingly, well amazing for an infant trapped in a car seat for 9 hours.....(he now officially hates the car seat).......it was a great trip, we had so much fun...he got to meet great aunts, uncles, cousins, etc......he also got all the lovin he could handle........

by the way have I mentioned how cool it is to be a dad.........

thank you to all our family and friends for making coop feel right at home....
we love you

the forever humbled coop's dad

You want a fresh one.....

he is getting so big...

got milk?

mom dressed me

go YANKS

tough day

my little rockstar

what a smile

which way to the beach

hi everybody

what a ham

high hopes for the coop

no pressure....

my sleepy guy

tough day for the coop

I second guess myself a lot?????

this has been the most humbling yet amazing 5 weeks watching my cooper develop into a little boy.............I have been handling the 12 am and 3 am feedings (for the most part) as well as a few during the day, but the hot wifey and our unbelievable pit crew a.k.a auntie EM, Grammie Anne, Team Poocha and the Eagle Point cooking staff have made being a new parent so much easier....but let me tell you something....no matter how much support or how many books I read or preparation I thought I had made has really prepared me for being coop's dad........I know that I have no idea what I am doing.................because, what works one day, does not work another..............so I just keep plugging along............
but, unfortunately,,,,,..my little man has gotten a little cold and is congested right now.....the stuff they pulled from his nose today at the doctor was incredible........I feel so bad for him.......I now realize what it truly means to hurt so much, that you feel as if you could die....to see coop scream and know I can do nothing to help him......kills me.....it is by far the hardest thing I have ever delt with.........I know he will be fine with time.............. so, I take comfort in that....

cooper is part of me(the best part) and I am truly scared to death of not being a good enough.......but, regardless of this...........I am the sleep deprived, smelling like formula, dark circles under my eyes, needing a haircut and shower happiest daddy in the world..........so whatever the future holds.......my son will never have to worry about where his dad is...............because, all he will have to do is look behind him........
.......and I will be there.....no matter what..........

gotta run its coop time and he is ready to eat...........

coop's dad.........the happiest guy in the world...........thanks wifey and coop

(sorry for the jumble of thoughts.......but that is how i think now)

that's my boy

the hot wifey is hanging in there........she keeps saying that she feels okay but I have to keep reminding her that she just gave birth to the one and only cooper.....so she should be a bit sore.....she is a great mommy and I am so lucky to be her husband......she makes me look good as a dad........(so does coop)

I am one of those dad's ........and I don't care.......my son is the greatest (at least to me)

now the journey begins..........my wife was a trooper...she absolutely amazes me ........I knew she was a strong wonderful woman........but after having coop I now have seen a side of her that I never knew existed.............she is so much stronger than I am.........I love her and I love the son that she has given me.............thank you to all the well wishers.......I started this blog as way to express my feelings about being a dad........it has become so much more........it is a guide for me to live my life by........I will never take the little things for granted again.....life is short and I want to enjoy ever second of it.........this is the first of many things coop has taught me.........I love him more than I feel is possible.........someday he will make me a grandfather......but for now he has made me a dad.........and that is just fine with me............

stay tuned ..........he is about to change the world.........(at least mine)

coop's dad

MANY MORE PICTURES TO COME ..........

how many days left?

it is only 2 weeks, 14 days, 336 hours, 20,160 minutes, 1,209,600 seconds(thanks for the card mel).............wow

I have learned so much through this process...

I have learned how important the relationship is between a husband and wife...my wife still makes me as happy as the day I married her....even though the last couple of nights have caused some stress between us.................

but when it was time for bed it was like a light switch goes off......we are upset with each other, but by the time we go to bed none of the problems seemed to matter........with a quick smile and a kiss on the forehead it is all gone....

this is one of the many things that makes me appreciate the relationship I have with my hot preggo wife....we try never to go to bed mad .....(even though that does not always work out).....we do try....and for that I love her......

my son will be here soon and I hope that he gets as lucky as I did someday.....(and if I have anything to do with it.....I will give him some dear old dad pointers on the ladies...haha)

I am rambling a bit, but that is all I seem to do as of late.......thank god we have a great doctor...she has made this process great for us.......she even coddles my obsessive compulsive disorder about my wife....(I am bit of a freak about her and coop's safety)....haha.......

anyway.......enough from the soon to be dad for today........

my boy is almost done...and he has the world on a string and he is not even here yet....

coop's dad

coop goes for a swim..

there's a baby in there

i did that

have i told you that.....

The finishing touches

the room is all but done...

we are just waiting on the bedding that we are having made.....

but I got everything else done and ready to go for coop...

as much as I enjoy doing stuff around the house

this by far has been the one of the neatest rooms I have ever done....

(this is only my opinion..but I am a bit bias)

jacob cooper hinson

i had some really cool wooden letters done to go above his crib...

one of a kind...just like my boy

Just a quick thought about today......

I am going to be a dad .........Soon............

if only you could see the smile on my face..........

thank you cooper for making me a dad..............I promise to be the man you look up to....

my little man is almost here and he is greatest thing I have ever done.

coop's dad

Lost at sea

how many pieces?

cooper has enough toys on this one thing

to keep him busy until he is 15!

thanks grandma anne!

We are making the turn for home

With the due date getting closer and closer..................I have come to a point where the reality of being a dad is really starting to settle in..........the responsibility ...........Wow...........he is going to look to me for guidance and support.....he will look to me for the proper way to be a man........I don't think that I am that much of a man yet myself.........how am I supposed to teach my son to be a man when I am still such a kid at heart.....is there some switch inside of me that goes off when cooper is born?..........I worry ...........I worry that I am getting in over my head????

I was driving the other day and listening to "my music" with the windows down and thinking there will be a car seat in the back soon..........I won't be able to jam out to the music anymore.........I won't be able to drive fast just because I can anymore........? but at that same time I also realize that my son will be in the car and I really don't want him to listen to loud music and I sure do not want him to drive fast.........so maybe I am a growing up........

I am rambling today.........it has been a lot for me the last couple of days.........sorry for the incoherent typing and stuff.............but as I have stated before ..........this blog is for me to vent and get out the thoughts that I can not talk about............

I have also come to believe I am having pregnancy side effects..........I ache .........I am tired............I am moody .........and no I can not sleep.......this is not a fun part of the whole baby thing.............
I have said a lot today and now I need to do some work ..........but I do feel better..........and you no what ...........(as I get a big smile on my face).......I am coop's dad..........and I will love him with all my heart and soul............when I got married to my hot wife I realized what true unconditional love is ..........now that coop is almost here I feel that I now know what it is to be truly conditioned to love...........without thought....without hesitation...I love cooper no matter what he does or what he becomes ...........I love him...I am now complete........my life is coming full circle.........and I am so happy.........god is great.......he has made my journey through life up and down .........but you know what..............he has seen fit to make me a father.....so if he believes in me.......then as of today I believe in myself to be cooper's father......enough said.

I am cooper's dad..............and cooper is my son............(as the smile gets a bit larger on my face)

I AM BACK

The doc cut on my hand again last Friday and I am feeling better .......10 or so more stitches .......no biggie....The wrist and hand is back in shape....(not much pain.......okay it hurts BUT I am feeling better....kinda).......and it is time for the second wind to kick in........

oh and by the way we went and got some realllllllllllly cool pictures taken of my hot wife today by a great local photo artist(my word)........it is now official my wife is the hottest preggo I have ever seen............the proofs should be back by the 14th of march and I can't wait.........

I am back on track and the dad juices are flowing .........bring it on!

we are in the home stretch............and coop's dad is ready to go

coop's dad

I am running on empty

cooper is almost here and it is starting to weigh on me ....my wrist surgery has had some complications and is not healing as fast as originally expected....the pain pills are kicking my butt....I am so sluggish but I can't sleep.........I guess I am getting ready for when cooper comes..haha.........my hot preggo wife is doing well.........she is having a little trouble getting comfortable...but she has been great..........we have switched roles (for now)........she is taking care of me and I am laying on the couch...to be honest though I hate it..........I have ten thousand things I could be doing, but nooooooooooooo....stupid hand
anyway, i just needed to vent a little..........as you can see it is almost 3 am and I am not asleep........this sucks........but I know that cooper is coming soon and no matter how I feel now,
it will all be better on the day he is born...........

I am but one man ..........and that one man is cooper's dad

coop's dad

do as i say not as i do

what a funny photo.......maybe a view of things to come

I am old.

I have read the most recent posts from my lovely YOUNGER cousin and realize that I am an old man I remember her with her chubby cheeks in her car seat..........look at her now.......a grown up and a great mom..........I am so proud of her and so excited to watch her wonderful daughter grow up to be as great as she is..........thanks for all the advice and yes I have put the mrs in a bubble but I have cut a few air holes in it so she can still breathe a little...haha.......

I am going to be a dad soon enough but right now I am enjoying being a overprotective husband.

coop's dad

The Mrs. was so surprised.....her family and friends put on a surprise shower for her.......and she had no idea....I can not believe all the cool stuff we got....I have come to realize that people get really excited about babies........thanks for all the fun stuff and thanks for making my hot preggo wife feel so special....she so deserves it....she has had a tough couple of weeks........coop has been such a good boy the past 8 months so I guess he is due to be a little bad....I have had a tough time staying in bed with aching wrist.......it always seems that when I have ten thousand things to do I am sidelined by one thing or another.........it is getting close.........the mrs and I have decided to do a C section........our doctor had one and she is doing well...she had said that if we did the research and educated ourselves...........she would let us do it............that being said.........we have a new due date....MARCH 31, 2006............and let me tell you what........it can not get here soon enough.........

I wish everyone could feel as good as I do everyday when I get up.............thanks to my hot wife and my unborn son..........

coop's dad

coop's dad has had a set back

I have had to have surgery on my left hand to remove a large tumor from my wrist....I am going to be fine but...........I am now hobbled a bit.........coop is going to be here soon.....and I am rehabing now......I need to be okay for my little man...............this is just a bump in the road...being a dad is the most important thing in my life and nothing will keep me down....

That's it....The Mrs. is on house arrest

first off let me tell you that I have experienced the most frightening thing that I have ever had to deal with in my life yesterday....as I was working on coop's room I received a phone call from my sister-n-law in a panic...my stubborn hot wife and her had decided to venture out to toys-r-us to do some shopping for the coop.......even though I have tried to keep my wife in a plastic bubble and shelter from any and all bad things........bad things still happen.....her sister's car was rear ended at an off ramp and the mrs. was transported to hospital ......when I received the call it was 5 o'clock and traffic was at a stand still ......I live approximately 40 minutes from where they were located........so, as I drove like a maniac to get to my wife and son (and sister) I had every emotion come over me, from crying to hitting the steering wheel.......as well as a grouping of several choice cuss words and the toughest thing i had to deal with was, second guessing my ability to be a dad...........when I arrived at the hospital ........I pulled a small tree from the bush guard of the hummer (sorry about that yard on columbus ave.) and ran into the ER.......my heart physically hurt........and when I saw my sister I could tell that she felt horrible and I wanted her to know that it was going to be okay and it was not her fault.......I tried not to show how upset I was ......but all she needs to know is that I love her for all she did and it could have happened to anyone........that being said....when I saw my wife I could not hold it in anymore.......the emotions that poured from my heart were the purest and most sincere I have ever felt........I can not explain it ....but seeing her made everything alright...........the doctors did every test known to man and kept her over night.......everything is fine and my boy can take a lickin........as well as his mommy.....never the less........SHE IS ON HOUSE ARREST.....I am going to put a 12 ft fence around the house to keep her inside..........being a dad and husband is my job as well as passion........

I have never been that scared before.....but, I put my life in gods hands and he has guided me in the past and he will continue to guide me in the future..............

I am a protective dad to be and an over protective husband....and I am not sorry for that.....
coop's dad

life is short ........cherish every moment and tell someone special how much you love them today.....

p.s. the one good thing is we got to see the little man on the sono again......he is getting big and in my opinion he is one good looking kid ( I might be a little bias)

i am normal

Today I found someone who is a dad and is as happy about it as I am ...............he is also a coop's dad ..........take a look at the website he did for his son.......CooperWelch.com...
very cool.....................

I now know that I am normal.... thanks

I am cooper's dad ......as well as my sexy prego wife's husband..................

I am who am and I am nothing without my wife and son.......

coop's dad

A sneak peeeeeeeeeeeeeek

here is the crib material .......the hot prego chic and I decided to go with.............these are also the colors we are using in room..........I hope coop likes it...............

hired labor

my boy deserves the best ........but he gets me..haha........i have started hanging the crown molding and some of the paint........it is going to neat.............

let the cool stuff begin......

here it is the car seat to my little man.........I am now a parent.......I got home from work today and I saw a huge box at the door.............his car seat and pack and play is here.........it is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.........the hot Mrs. laughed at me as I spent 2o or so minutes trying to figure them out.........but never less in true dad form...........no directions.........I worked it out.............cooper is the coolest kid I know and he is not here yet...........I might be a bit bias but so what ...........it is my son..........wow...........it is my son ..............I am a dad.........wow

my wife is hot and my kid is almost here..............if I was any happier I would have slap myself.......

coop's dad ...............out

We are great

That is a quote from our doc ...The Mrs. is getting a little uncomfortable but for the most part she is doing well.........She is so self conscious about her belly but to me she looks amazing.....She has such a glow....and I think she is sexy as hell...Hopefully she will ease up a little on herself and realize that she is pregnant...haha..
things are going well........I have started the project of coop's nursery...What a fun thing...We have decided to go with a modern theme in the room with robin egg blue, brown, and cream........with white furniture...I am working on some cool lighting techniques for the room too....it should be a pretty cool place to be a kid....yes it is true I am making the room I would want if I was a kid....but I figure he is gotta be somewhat like me......So hopefully he'll enjoy it....and if doesn't.......We can always change it.......
pics will come later......I want it to be a surprise to all.......once they come lay the new carpet next week.........I am going to lock everyone out until coop comes home ........

coop's gonna be here soon.........
coop's dad

p.s. for all those wonderful people who keep up with these ramblings of a soon to be dad, let me apologize for not posting everyday...I am so busy that by the time I get free time......I sleep.....I will try to post more often so my crazy sis will stop calling and bugging me.....haha.......thank you all for your help and support....

It all begins

I have started acquiring furniture and stuff for little man's room...I have not been this excited to put together a room since my first apartment...I hope he likes it and takes ownership in it............ I want this to be a place that he can grow and develop into whoever or whatever he wants to become........Stay tuned for updates...

The Hinson's in the NYC

can you believe how freaking hot my little momma is in her pink coat....coop loved the NYC he is kicking up a storm.......We are getting close and he is very aware of his parents....and we are very aware of him.....now that we made it to the new year I get to start working on little man's room...being a dad has made my life complete.........I thought when I got married I was a complete man..............I now realize that was part of becoming a man.............now that I am coop's dad I am a man.........and I thank my wife for that............Happy NEW YEAR to all..........

coop at the DONALD's place

coop at rockafeller center

happy new years

coop takes new york by storm

we are in the big NYC for new years and coop is painting the town red. his first new years and he is going big..............and he is not even born yet............stay tuned...............

I DID THAT

It's Christmas

Opening presents today did not have the same meaning it has in the past....don't get me wrong........it was great and I got some really cool stuff, but the thought of watching coop open presents is all I could think about today..and I can't wait...............I noticed my wifey is getting hotter by the day ....she has this glow that is hard to explain...I don't know what it is but she seems to be walking on air......anyway........just a couple of quick thoughts on this wonderful day...........thank you Jesus for all that you have provided and that you will provide...........

Merry Christmas
coop's dad

How cute is this

my hot wife and my cute cousin Lindsay oh and me too.

We are home......

What a great trip...........I love seeing all of my north Carolina family...........everyone is doing well and they are all the same great folks.............my cousin Lindsey waited till the day we left to pop out her young'n ........it was a little girl............Madison Dawn.............that is so cool.........her and my hot wife looked so cute rubbing bellies...........cooper seemed to enjoy himself he is kickin like a chicken.........he is keeping the mrs. on edge.........she is fine but she is getting that uncomfortable feeling and it is getting tough for her to sleep ( and me too.) but the way I see it ............he is active and that can't be a bad thing..........right?

having a great day
cooper's dad

Off for the weekend

We are getting things together to go up to North Carolina to visit the kin folk for Christmas....as I am packing the suitcases I have a funny thought...."I am going to have to take two cars anywhere we travel next year" ...............the reason....my lovely wife packs like she is going on safari for a month.........that being said I can just imagine all the stuff coop will need.....it is going to be like traveling with a rock star..............and you know what? ....................................I can't wait........... ..haha.............I finally get to be a rowdy..........yippie

is he here yet?
cooper's dad

The hospital

We just got back from touring the hospital in Brandon ....The new baby wing is very nice and the nurses are scary friendly......
I love the fact that we get to keep coop with us the whole time and they are major freaks about security.....
which is very cool...........
Baby C gets a cool tracking sensor on his ankle so that no crazy stalker can run off with him (because i know everyone is going to want him)....and the rooms have full size couches for dear oh dad............
and it is kinda nice for mom too...............haha............
we also got to see a new baby right out of the oven..........how freakin cute..........they are so small.......and pink
HeLL coop is not even born yet and I already don't want him to get any bigger....
Jessica is great and right on target...she has been gaining about a pound or so a week and she looks hotter now than the day I met her........... she is gonna be my babies momma..................and no she does not look fat in anything she wears.....................................
no matter what she puts on.....................................haha..........

one day closer.....
coop's dad..............:)

cooper has fans.

I thought that writing in this blog was merely for cooper and I but, I have been informed that is not the case.......so for the wonderful people keeping up with what's going on with cooper and our family.....thanks for the nice comments and suggestions......so MRS. JENN you have now been mentioned in the blog....haha......having dinner the other night with our friends I realized that cooper is hearing everything I say....the good and the bad.....that is unreal....jess takes it all in stride........me on the other hand I feel like kid before christmas.....sometimes I think that there must be something wrong with me.....because most of my buddies that have kids seem so much more relaxed ...and nonchalant....I can't do that ...cooper is going to my little man.........and I don't care if I sound corny or stupid.................. I am that dad ................and for those who don't know .......I am the luckiest guy on earth...........my son is coming and my wife is hot.........and she actually is in love with me...............wow.........by the way I am smiling ear to ear for no other reason but ...............I can.........

coop is cooking in the belly ............... and i can't wait...............

cooper's dad.........

merry christmas at coop's house

next year my little man gets to help his dad put the lights up.....until then , this will have to do..

merry christmas

cooper's house at christmas......i can't wait till next year.....he gets to help his dad

22 1/2 weeks and counting

are you kidding me......The little man is already trying to hide from the paparazzi....I love it...

Vacations with cooper

We just got back from baton rouge.....and we got to see the bucs beat the saints at LSU stadium......it was a great time....one of the many things that I am excited about for cooper, is getting to see him at his first game in all his little bucs stuff.......We saw several little ones at the game and they seemed to have a ball.....just for the record the Mrs. and I as well as our best friends Mel and Neil have come to a conclusion...............the nicest people in america are in baton rouge..........We met some of the friendliest people everyday that we were there....it was amazing.....
but anyway......next year when we vacation, we get to pack up cooper and take him on one of his many first adventures........and that is a cool thing.............
I am the luckiest guy I know....for no other reason than I am going to be coop's dad and that I am jessica's husband....sounds corny I know............but, it makes me happy and that is all that matters.............

one day closer and one less day of waiting..

cooper's dad

our christmas tree

cooper gets to help next year......

Being a dad

Walking around I notice every kid .....it brings a smile to my face every time.......at the grocery when they are screaming there heads off and the dad goes about his business like it is not happening........everyone else can hear it but the dad is oblivious....I wonder, is this a talent I will learn or is this more ingrained through trial and error....just a thought for today......

everyday seems a little brighter ...and the small things I used to worry about don't seem so important anymore.....

cooper's dad

happy holidays????

i could be wrong.....but this is not the best way to break it to coop about the man in red.....
hahaha.........have a great day

It is getting closer

Each day that goes by is so surreal........Today I put up the lights on the house and we started decorating for Christmas ...When my lovely wife realized that next year we will have to keep all the breakable stuff away from the ground.......Wow we have to cooperproof the house.......I think we should just get blow up furniture and bubble wrap everything else...but, on the other hand chicks dig scars so a little ding here and there will happen............ so the way I see it coop is in for a fun ride.....as well are his new parents...I can't wait

can he get here already..........

cooper's dad

he kicks

I felt him kick today.........WOW.......that's all I can say....to think of him moving and growing in my wife's little round belly absolutely amazes me ...I love it, cooper is healthy and happy and knows his dad's voice.........so as far as I am concerned life is still great.....and I am the luckiest guy in the world...

my boy is almost here..
cooper's dad

what makes a dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.

Then God combined these qualities.
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "DAD!"

Turkey day on the way

I am so excited for turkey day ......I can't wait for all the great food.......and fun with friends and family....we are looking to have about 20 or so at the Hinson homestead this year.....and the coolest thing is that next year coop will be here to help dad carve TOM the turkey.......wow the time is flying by (not fast enough for me though)........to all my friends and family that I won't see this year on turkey day.....have a great one from the HINSON FAMILY...we love you guys and gals....

coop is almost here......is it april yet?

HAPPY TURKEY DAY...........

cooper's dad.......

we went to the doc today..

everything is A OKAY......the mrs is perfect and so is j coop .......we are at 21 or so weeks and he is coming along great.......momma j is cooking him up nicely.......our doc is also pregnant, and is due dec 29..........so it is cool to watch her and realize what jess is going to look like and what she has to look forward to.........she is great....to hear the little man's heart beat still makes my stomach get butterflies...no matter how many times i hear it........just think a mini me is about to be here.......scary.....but he will be better than me, he will be more caring than, he will share more than me, he will love more than me, he will travel more than me, he will be a better baseball player than me, he will be more successful than me..............and you know what that is okay with me.....because regardless if is a better person or not........i will ALWAYS be here for him and support him and let him know that no matter what when all else fails his dad has got his back and i love him UNCONDITIONALLY..........

i can't wait to be THAT dad......(yes i am going to be THAT dad and i can't wait)

cooper's dad

A message to my wife and Coop's mom

Someday, he'll be a movie star
or a fifth-grade English teacher.
Someday, he'll marry, have a few kids.
Maybe he won't.
Someday, he'll change the world as we know it.
Or maybe he'll travel,
send postcards from China,
phone you from Paris.
Someday, he's going to be a big, strong man
able to carry you in his arms.
One day, he'll have his own hopes and dreams,
not knowing that once upon a quiet time,
you closed your eyes and made a wish
to one day have him in your life.

I love you Jeezy and thank you for making me a Father........

Cooper's dad

Today is a great day...

Nothing major happened to make it a great day.....but it is....for no other reason than the fact that the god lord has seen fit to make me a dad.....as I sit here preparing to go to work tomorrow, I think....why me...why us... we are not special....we have friends that have been trying or it took them awhile to conceive.....with us ...as soon as we pulled the goalie....it was two or three weeks later and bang..............J. COOP was conceived...........I don't look at is luck .........I look at more like ...it was time....the BIG GUY upstairs has seen it fit to make my beautiful wife a mother...........and me the one and only JACOB COOPER'S dad......So, as I wrap up this day and get ready for tomorrow, that cheesy grin comes across my face once again.....because I know......life is good, god is great and I can't wait for cooper's due date.........................

one day closer....
cooper's dad

my little man....

well it is saturday again and I am sitting here watching game day on ESPN....I still can not believe that this time next year I will be sitting here watching game day holding j. coop and explaining to him that the Florida Gators Suck(yeah I said it Neil, and wait till next year)and how THE Ohio State University is a over rated high school team(yeah Dan i said this too)and not a real college,...........and then a cool realization hits me...........J. Coop will believe what ever I tell him, and who I like is who he will like.......and that is really cool to me because, when i was growing up I did not really have that male figure to look up to until I was about 9.....so, the only thing I knew about sports was that what ever team my cousin Johnny liked meant that I liked the other team.....haha....................
but now I get the chance to mold my son's mind about sports from the beginning....and that makes me smile (really BIG)
so, for the record....A-Rod is the greatest baseball player ever, the Yankees rule.....Boston SUCKS, Tennessee Volunteer FOOTBALL is number one, the Gators SUCK, Steve Spurrier is the anti-Christ (no matter who he coachs for), and the Bucs are okay to cheer for (because we live in Tampa and there his mom's favorite team) but the Tennessee Titans will return to football glory....and if you don't believe me.............so what, my son will....just ask him...........and once again I smile..............(even BIGGER)

one more day closer to J. COOP's premier............(insert cool Elvis music here)
cooper's dad has left the building......

P.S. I am so excited to be a dad.....even if I am excited for the stupid little stuff....

we have the greatest friends...

thanks so much for all the wonderful comments from you all....I think it is funny how the ramblings of a soon to be dad without a clue could be entertaining to people....but the way I look at is all of those who have kids know what I am going through....and those of you who don't are curious to see if I am going to loose it........haha.........(kinda like a car wreck, you just have to watch)...for those of you waiting for the freak out, keep watching it may happen soon.........haha.........I am learning that being pregnant (yes I said it....I am pregnant too) is hard work.........I am getting tired in the middle of the day my back is killing me......and mood swings are you kidding me..........I know jess is having an easy pregnancy because I am getting all crappy stuff to deal with she gets all the fun stuff ...........the cravings, the cravings, the cravings and yes the cravings.

I am not complaining I am just having a mood swing..............haha

life is great and I am going to be dad...........so that makes it a little bit better
cooper's dad

how hot is she at 5 months.........see my boy pushing out.................. he is almost here!!!!
and for all of you who have been asking for the belly pics here ya go....also check my archives for other pics......

just a quick thought about today......

I have a lot on the plate...................with my company really taking off and a pregnant wife............there is little time for just me...................................but, I noticed something today.......... that when I do get time to myself I use it writing in this blog or thinking about how cute my preggy wife is and how my son will be here soon...................................
...so I guess I do get time to myself after all.

living for my family,
cooper's dad

every day is one day closer.......

it is going by so fast.....at least it feels like it is....it seems like just the other day my lovely wife came stumbling out of the bathroom with her pants around her ankles with a dumb founded look on her face with the pregnancy test in hand.......we are just about halfway there and I can't wait............today I was sitting on the couch thinking this is so surreal.............I am going to be a dad.....I just can't believe it (and to be honest I think there is a lot people I know that can't believe it either...) there are times that I catch myself doing stupid stuff...........and I wonder .........will I still due stupid stuff when coop gets here......or will I be the mature grown up?...........the way I see it having a son gives me a pass to do stupid stuff, because ..........now I am dad and no matter what I do he is going to think I am cool..........at least until he gets old enough to know better.............that being said.....I am not the first guy to be a dad but I do feel that I am luckiest, happiest, coolest(haha) and several other "EST" words......

today is here and tomorrow can't get here soon enough.....
j. coop's dad

like father like son....how freakin cool is that? 

You know something that is cool.........

I was thinking ..........and I know it is kinda putting the cart in front of the horse, but I am going to be a grand dad someday....and my name is going be carried on for a long time....just because I am having a son....sounds corny I know but since I am an only child, the thought of my son carrying my name and then passing it on to maybe his son/daughter. very cool........at least to me.....

reflecting on corny stuff....today
cooper's dad

Better than me.......

coop is going to be a great person..... No matter what he does....I will support him in any endeavors he chooses to pursue....this is my promise as his dad...........coop is going to be a great man.........this I promise as his role model.........

"With the realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world."

today I am a better person because of my wife and the knowledge that I am going to be j. coop's dad.

life is great..........
Cooper's dad

Discipline

Am I going to be the strict one or is the Mrs. going to be the hammer? I just don't want coop to be afraid to ask me anything or worry that I won't understand....I am not saying that I will understand....but, I always want him to think that I understand and know everything...even if I don't..............that's what dad's are for(I think?) to always be the one they come to no matter what ...and I will be here for my boy, always....



coops dad

just wondering? is this a proper way to deal with kids that won' t listen?.....haha 

Pregnant clothes....FUN

the mrs and i have been acquiring a new wardrobe for her........preger clothes......how fun(and pricey, my god there should be a law against how much they can charge for elastic jeans and strechy t-shirts) it has been fun though ....she tries them on then says do i look pregnant?????????what am i suppose to say??? no, honey...i can't see that bump in front of your rump..........i think she looks great.....and what a glow....i can say being a dad is exciting but being a husband has been pretty cool too......i look at her and i see not only my wife and friend but the mother of my child........and that also makes me get that big dad smile...........

what a great day
cooper's dad

The small things....

I catch myself wondering ?
what will cooper look like........who will he look like.........will he be tall or short ........will he have brown eyes or green......blonde, brunette.......who knows?
Then i think back to when i was standing in the doctors office and we found out we were having a baby....and the doctor asked if we wanted a boy or girl ?
Without hesitation.... my response was as pure as it could be when i said it does not matter to me ......i just want our baby to be healthy with 10 fingers and 10 toes...
with that being said i realize that all the other stuff really doesn't matter....

he will look like a my son and that is good enough for me...

i am TRULY blessed .......so today i stop wondering......now i just wait.................

AND SMILE

thats my hot wife

thats my boy at 16 weeks...how cool 

the end of the day.......

well here it is ............the end of another day and one day closer till i get to hold my little man....i have been informed by my lil sis that i am not as big a hard ass as i try to portray.....she says that i am actually a big softee.....well that might be true in some cases and i do believe this is one of those cases..........SO WHAT..............just kiddin ILU...brat

we rented one of those doppler things from BELLYBEATS.com (i want some money for advertisements and shout outs).........it is like the one the doc uses........ and let me tell you what ....to hear j. coop's heart beating at 165 BPM .......has made everything so real............he is growing and making his mom.....a little uncomfortable.........but, i don't think she minds to much......

today is almost over and i am getting ready to watch monday night football...and i can do nothing but smile because i know this time next year ............my j. coop will be decked out in his team gear chilling with his pop.........what great way to end my day......

just a thought

does having a son make me a grown up?...............i still feel like a kid at heart.........maybe i can just be grown kid?.........or maybe it doesn't matter...but in the end cooper will only see me as his dad...and i guess if that makes me a grown up then that's okay with me...............

the ramblings of soon to be dad..............
cooper's dad

i did that........... 

the hinson's 

Today is the day

Today is the day I start my blog..
I am going to be a dad and this is the coolest thing in the world........A little me.........WOW...... jess and I found out a couple of weeks ago its a boy........JACOB COOPER HINSON............what a cool name...he is going to have so many nick names... j. coop, jacee, j.c.(after his great grandpa)(he was a stud too), coop, ja co....Who knows ....................anyway this is a way for a me to express what I am going through daily.... as I watch my hot wife get a belly I think to myself how funny this world we live in really is... ............who would have thought that I could have gotten so lucky........WELL I DID... and for this I thank the the BIG GUY upstairs....for those who don't believe...That's cool..just means more room up there for me.....haha...
