6 month pictures

Last week we took Cooper to have his 6 month pictures taken (it's hard to believe he's already 6 months old!!!!). They were GREAT!! We had such a hard time deciding which ones we wanted. He is smiling ALL the time right now, if someone in the room is talking he thinks they're talking to him and gets the biggest grin on his face. So, needless to say getting him to smile was no problem. Here are some of our favorites.........

Cooper encounters cereal!!!!!

We have just enjoyed another "first" with Cooper...his first time to eat something that was not breastmilk. We have given you some pictures as well as video of this initial experience. Please enjoy as much as we enjoyed this moment. Our God is good!!!!

Cooper's First Valentine's Day

This year we celebrated Valentine's Day a couple of days early in the Hampton house. We celebrated early because Chad had a student ministry event all weekend while Britney and Cooper visited Gigi and Pops in Grand Prairie. Additionally, the early celebration was made easier because Cooper celebrated Valentine's Day at school on this same Thursday. All in all, even though we were apart, God blessed us with a wonderful Valentine's Day. Enjoy the pictures!

Christmas in Mississippi

Cooper was able to make his first visit ever to Chad's home state of Mississippi. We had a great week spending time with family and got to experience what it is like to not hold Cooper. It was wonderful for Cooper to meet all of his grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles for the first time. We had an incredible week and did not want to say goodbye. We have some pictures from our week long visit for your viewing pleasure.

Cooper's first Halloween

Cooper celebrated his first halloween (or, for the uber-spiritual, Reformation Day) at his Gigi and Pops' House in Grand Prairie. Although Cooper wanted to go to the football game with his dad and Pops, his mom, Gigi, Aunt Cortney, and Gran kept him at home with them. They didn't even take him trick or treating. Here are some pictures of our little man!!!
