Our Greatest Achievement....

New place to keep up with Coop

2008-01-10T10:21:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-10-16T22:34:00.000-04:00

2007-10-16T22:32:00.000-04:00

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

2007-10-16T22:16:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-10-16T22:06:00.000-04:00

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

2007-06-29T13:21:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-06-27T13:00:00.000-04:00

Coop stole Daddy's Full Monty hat!

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

2007-06-27T12:55:00.000-04:00

We even got to ride on the fire truck!

2007-06-27T12:54:00.000-04:00

He loved his new fireman hat!

2007-06-27T12:53:00.000-04:00

Cooper drives a fire truck!

What a smile

2007-06-04T16:02:00.001-04:00

My little man.

2007-06-04T16:01:00.000-04:00

He is getting so BiG

2007-06-04T15:55:00.001-04:00

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!

2007-04-15T23:33:00.000-04:00

2007-04-15T23:28:00.000-04:00

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

2007-04-15T23:18:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-04-15T23:13:00.000-04:00

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

This kid LOVES water!

2007-04-15T10:45:00.000-04:00

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!!!

2007-04-15T10:41:00.000-04:00

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.........

2007-04-15T10:40:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-04-15T10:37:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-03-26T22:43:00.000-04:00

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

2007-03-26T22:36:00.000-04:00

Here's how the cake started...

2007-03-26T22:33:00.000-04:00

Happy 1st Birthday, Cooper!

2007-03-26T22:20:00.000-04:00

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!

2007-02-27T21:49:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-27T21:45:00.000-05:00

COOPER LOVED CHRISTMAS!

2007-02-27T21:44:00.000-05:00

2007-02-27T21:39:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-27T21:36:00.000-05:00

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.

2007-02-27T21:30:00.000-05:00

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

2007-02-27T21:28:00.000-05:00

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

2007-02-27T21:27:00.000-05:00

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

2007-02-27T21:25:00.000-05:00

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

2007-02-27T21:22:00.000-05:00

Cooper loves playing the piano!

2007-02-10T09:43:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-10T09:37:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-10T08:50:00.000-05:00

2007-02-09T00:31:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-09T00:24:00.000-05:00

2007-02-09T00:20:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-02-09T00:18:00.000-05:00

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

2007-02-09T00:16:00.000-05:00

I was SO ready for SANTA!

2007-02-09T00:14:00.000-05:00

I LOVE BATHTIME!

Mom is going to take over the BLOG

2007-02-08T23:17:00.000-05:00

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
cooper's dad.....(the happiest guy in the world)
