As Cooper was playing and walking by his car in the garage, he said to his dad, "Dad, walk right beside me and hold onto the cart, we do not run in the grocery." I guess at least our message is being heard.

Pee Paw and Gram's House

Cooper's said that the best thing about going to Gram and Pee Paw's house is eating popsicles and playing with cool toys.

Coopers new bed

Today was a big day, Cooper transitioned from a toddler bed to a big boy bed. I had a hard time thinking about taking down the toddler bed and then I realized this is a great step for Cooper becoming a big boy, and then I saw his room once it was almost finished (we have just a few small decor pieces left to do) and I realized, he is officially a big boy, how sad. He crawled up into his bed to read a book as if he had slept in it for years. He was so excited and happy.

So when we went back to PA to visit with family, Allyson and Michael bought Cooper some chalk, he is in love and our driveway now has some character. We love it.

A Rough Play Day

Baseball game

Cooper was so excited when his dad returned from Chicago bearing gifts. He went to Chicago Speedway to see a Nascar race and to the Chicago Cubs game. Two of Cooper's favorite playtimes, baseball and cars. The only response that Cooper could give was "OH MY".

Grandparents visit

Cooper loves visiting with gram and pee paw, and if you couldn't tell they also like to spoil him with special treats, he is eating some of Pee Paws Cheetos (what Pee Paw doesn't know is that the bag is empty). Cooper keeps asking to go to Pee Paw and Grams house to ride on the tractor and play baseball. We can't wait to visit.

Look at that nose, that is what happens when playing in the garage.
