5 girls and a Little Man: Magical night

Tonight was one of those nights that make me happy and thankful to be a dad. We took the girls to meet Cooper for the first time. The ride down the canyon was probably the longest trip to Provo any of the girls have ever made. They were practically running through the parking lot to see their little baby brother. I wish I could capture the un-deniable love each of the girls have for their little brother.

Once at the hospital we took each of the girls back one at a time to meet Cooper. Pictures will never do it justice but I took quite a few. The order was Ainslee, Sydnee, Bailee, Toree and Kasadee (youngest to oldest). Ainslee and Sydnee were able to see Cooper on his belly with his sweet shades on then Bailee was in the room when they turned him on his back and our FABULOUS nurse Lindsey let Bailee take his temp (which she thought was pretty cool). Toree was next and helped change his diaper (poop and all), Toree also got to help Nurse Lindsey listen to Coopers heart. next Kasadee helped clean out his mouth and feed him through the feeding tube. The highlight was Nurse Lindsey letting Mardee hold Cooper for the first time. It was an awesome sight and one that I will never forget. We brought each of the girls back in to be with Mardee and Cooper and give him a kiss good night before we left.

The girls wanted to kidnap Cooper and bring him home, he is not quite ready to come home and still has a long road ahead of him but he is doing excellent. I couldn't be more proud of my family - I have been blessed beyond belief!!
