Meet My Brother...Welcome Jagger James!



















HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you and boy, do I have some serious news! I am a BIG BROTHER now! Did you know my brother was coming to see me? I guess it's better late than never. He arrived just after the 1st day of the New Year at 12:07 am on January 2nd. He weighed a whopping 8lbs 12ozs and was 20 in tall! Can you believe he was almost as big as his big brother?! We are all doing great; in fact, mom, dad, and Jagger came home on Saturday morning. You should have seen how excited I was to see them! I was waiting at the back door. And you know I am the best helper! I help with diapers, wipes, his paci, heck, I even share my motorcycle and cars with him. M&D say he gets points for coming into this world so thoughtfully; unlike yours truly, he was out in 2 pushes without the epidural. Is that fantastic news or what? You should see how well mom is doing. She was able to get up and around immediately at the hospital, that's why she got to come home so early, for good behavior. They even had all of the same wonderful nurses that helped usher me into this great big world. What a wonderful experience! I got to hang out with Gram and Gramps B, and you know they were my playthings. Mom and Dad didn't have to worry about a thing; Gram and Gramps got me down for naps, bedtime, they even took me shopping to buy a present for Jagger! I bought him Bard, who, coincidentally, is my favorite baby einstein character. I showed him Bard, you know I picked him out myself, then I took him home for Jagger to get him settled in and to try him out. I have also been sleeping with him to break him in and make sure he passes the fun test for Jagger. Jagger brought me a present too, a whole dozen matchbox airplanes, how about that?! I love them and mom, dad, gram and gramps all agree they are a pleasure to step on! So far, mom and dad aren't getting any sleep as they and Jagger wait patiently for the milk to come in. But it looks like they are none the worse for wear as dad has been running around with me and even took me for a tractor ride today. I know you are waiting for my verdict, and it's in, I think I'll let him stay (for now). I will write more as soon as I can, but right now, baby brother is in full throttle eating mode. Please join us all in prayer for the milk to come in soon! We love you all and thanks for your patience. Please let us know what you think of our newest addition in the comments. Or, better yet, come on by and see him for yourself. He is certainly a sight to behold! Lots of love, and thanks a million for your thoughts and prayers! Happy New Year to you, Cooper B. (the B. stands for big brother).
