Our baby is ONE!!!!

Our baby, Cooper Riley, turned the big 1 today! And you know, I can honestly say that I enjoyed today a WHOLE LOT more than I did last year! :) I know Matt surely does too!

We got a VERY sweet message from Cooper's cousins Drew & Jillian from N. Carolina! You can see it HERE. Thank you Drew for the sweet song! Cooper is going to love it!!

Here are a few pictures from Cooper's big day!

For Cooper's birthday tonite, we went to dinner at River Inn (yumm!) Cooper was excited that Grandma & Grandpa Bontrager joined us!

Playing with Grandma & munchin' on a lemon! Yummy!

Cooper is "SO BIG!" No, of course he does not have us wrapped around his pinky! What ever are you talking about?

I can't believe he's one. I just can't. Where did the time go?! We have learned so much as parents over the last 12 months and have learned so many ways how to NOT do things and hopefully have figured out some ways to do things right! We know we still have a lot to learn and that the learning will never stop, but we are L-O-V-I-N-G every minute of it! Cooper is a great kid and we are so blessed to have this little miracle in our lives, because that's what he is. Mommy & Daddy love you Cooper Riley.
