Today Cooper had another appiontment to get his second Synagis shot. He will have to get a Synagis shot every 28th day through out the "cold" season which started in Nov. and will end in March. It pains me so to see him cry so hard but I know that is it only helping him. Its important for preemies to get this shot because they are often born before getting enough antibodies from their mothers to help fight RSV and other viruses. But preemies are also at greater risk for severe RSV disease because their lungs are less developed and their airways are narrower than those of full-term babies. Synagis helps preemies by providing more infection-fighting antibodies to help protect their vulnerable lungs from RSV. It doesn't mean they absoultely wont get it but if they do get it wont be as severe and could save his life.

Christmas Day
Now you would think that since Cooper is 4 months old that we would get to sleep in a little on Christmas morning. Oh how wrong was I. He started fussing around at 6 am. I finally couldn't take it anymore. So we were up and getting the day started at 6:30. Now it is tradition in our house for Kris and I to stuff each others stockings. So I peaked around my stocking until Kris decided to get out of bed. Santa was quite generous to me. He got me a new pair of diamond (he went to jared) earings, lots of new clothes (desperatly needed), and a couple other small items. It was a Captain Morgan christmas for Kris. He got a Dart board, hat, shirt, belt buckle, wallet, and a bar mirror which all had the Captian Morgan logo on it. The hot hot hot item was the Guitar Hero 3 for the wii! That was more for both of us though. Cooper didn't get much from us. Just some clothes and a couple of cute toys. Optimus was excited to nose his box of toys and rawhides open.

Birthday & Christmas Parties
Yesterday was our niece Karissa's 7th birthday! We made sure we were there right when the party started. Of course our plan was not to stay too long so Cooper wasn't around the girls for very long, but it didn't work out that way. We hung around and visited for about an hour and half. Watching Rissa open her presents, singing, and then having cake and icecream.

Week in review
Sunday Kris decided to get started on the basement remodel. Our guest bedroom had a 5 ft walk-in closet which has miracously shrunk to a normal size. After much deliberation we thought that closet could be better used as a dry bar for our entertainment room. Since Sunday Kris has framed in the regular size closet, sheetrocked, and started putting holes in the walls where we need to run wiring for a different lighting scheme. Its very entertaing when Kris is working downstairs because Optimus doesn't know whats going on and there is no where to hide from the sound. So he just circles around my legs.
Friday morning my by best Gal pal Abi flew in from Seattle for a few days to visit. I haven't seen her in 2 years! It was the first time for both of us to see each others boys. Her son Nathan was born about a month after Cooper but he out weighs Cooper by almost ten pounds now. When I held Nathan for the first time I just started laughing. I couldn't help it! He just has the cutest cheeks, they are huge! I just sat and poked him. He looks so much like his dad. Of course Abi couldn't get over how small Cooper is; he is still my little peanut.
Saturday evening I was lucky enough to get away for a few hours and go to a "Slumber Party." I had so much fun. Its great to get around a big group of women who have had a few drinks and are talking about toys. All you get is a big room full of laughter.
Tonight was our first of three holiday parties this year. We went to the Peterson Family (Ottley Side) party for a short while. We had to make an appearance so the family that has never seen Cooper could give him a quick peek and so we could see Santa (Outside the mall)! It was great to see my little man in his cute outfit with Santa.

Thanksgiving Weekend
Our first Thanksgiving in our house. It was a very good one. The clan arrived Wednesday night and got settled in. Mom helped me make 2 Pumpkin pies and 2 Apple pies from scratch. They turned out very yummy! Thursday Kris and Dad woke up super early and went to play in a Turkey Bowl. Lets just say they came back slightly damaged. Kris tried to run through dad and messed up his shoulder. Dinner was very nice! We had Grandma & Grandpa Mecham, Chuck & Kathy, and of course my family over. Everyone contribute to the dinner so we had way more than 10 people could eat. But isn't that what it is all about. Good food and family! After dinner the women started scanning the ad's for the best shopping deals and mapping out the stores to be at in the morning. I never take part in Black Friday. Its just too much for someone who doesn't really like shopping to begin with. After that we played the usual games. Farkle and Marbles are the family fav lately. It was a very good day.
