Prince Cooper

Prince Cooper Alexander Zittrouer joined our family on December 21, 2006 at 2:35 p.m. He weighed 10 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 inches long. He gave us a little scare and had to go to NICU not long after birth because his oxygen saturation level kept fluctuating a little too much! He spent the first day of his life in the NICU before joining mommy in her room Saturday afternoon. We are very happy to report that he is doing great now!

Here, Carter and Jackson anxiously wait to catch their first glimpse of their baby brother!

Mommy finally gets to see Cooper for the first time-she had to go to the NICU to see him

Jackson absolutely loves "his" baby. He is very protective of him and wants to help feed and hold him all the time!

Carter, Jackson and Daddy carry Cooper into our house for the first time!

Carter is doing much better in his role of Big Brother with Cooper than he did with Jackson. He even wanted to share his silkie with him-which is a HUGE deal! He is quite a helper as well and loves to get things for baby Cooper such as diapers, pacifiers, etc.

Now that Cooper has joined us, our family is now complete! We are very proud of our three little princes and cannot wait to see what the future holds for each of them. We are so blessed to have Cooper join our wonderful family!
