Hey Cooper, Welcome to the World! We are so glad you finally arrived and you are just such a big guy - you even beat your “older cousin” Reilly by a pound. Is that red hair I see?
Can’t wait to see you at Christmas.
Love to your Mom and Dad and I love your name!

What a wonderful addition to my family. He is a beautiful boy—and I am somewhat of an expert on beautiful boys. I am so pleased that the nine months of hope, fear and anguish, etc. turned out so well.
Much love to all three of the Thompson/Lathrop family.

Wheeeeeeeeeee!
We are so proud of you guys! Cooper is a blessed little boy to have you as his parents. Sunny is looking forward to playdates and practicing “gentle” with Cooper once he progresses from the early “lump” stage of newborns. Good luck with milk production, Julie - just visualize the bo-bos overflowing with goodness! Haha.
Hope to see you once we get healthy….

I have been a working fool for the last 2 days but awoke in the darkness this morning for updates! What a gorgeous little boy! He looks like both you and Julie…So big and healthy. Hard to believe that Toshi was almost half his size! We are sooooooo happy for you both and can’t wait to meet him. I hope sooner than later…..I am sending some presents with Uncle Paul, Auntie Gina and cousin Sophia. Lots of love, beautiful family!

Doug is speechless,to say the least! Wow. I think he is an incredibly beautiful baby!!!!!!! no fooling what a joy! Imagine now you are “mom and dad” a new role for you, one of the most important in the world. I know you will be fantastic parents. Lots of love to baby Cooper.
Doug has finally regained his tonguemanship to say that you will know the truth about this statement. “The world is full of cute, smart babies, but there is no baby on the planet who is cuter or smarter than your baby”
Congrats
