Cooper Stephan Hardeman was born on May 3, 2007, at 11:25 am. He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and measured 20 inches. He was one week late and we decided to induce labor, but he ended up being delivered via c-section.

He is now 3 weeks old (today) and cuter everyday. We have settled into a rhythm of eating, playing and sleeping in an effort to get longer stretches of sleep at night. Somedays it works well, and others it doesnt... but such is life with a newborn.

The dogs love the new baby. They are a little freaked out by our new addition and want to smell him a lot.

Danny and I are also adjusting well. We tag team playing with the baby and rocking him to sleep. Too bad we can't tag team feeding yet!

Check out our web album with his first pictures. Also, there is a link at the bottom of the page to his pictures on our photographers website.
