Cooper is 4!

A lot of people say something to the effect of: if their 2nd child had been their first, they might not have had more children. The opposite is true for me. At year 4, Cooper J remains so sweet, so mellow, so smiley and loveable. I want to be sad that he is growing up, but that is a privilege denied to so many. 

Weight: 28lbs - 1st percentile

We celebrated Cooper's birthday the weekend prior at his choice place....the bounce house. 

He had his annual check up with Dr. Sponenberg on his birthday. We picked up Grandma Delores and went for Hibachi lunch. He wasn't too sure!

We had dinner at home on his actual birthday. 

And finally, his 4 year old interview:

Happy Birthday Cooper!

Cooper baby is 2!

We partied on Saturday with friends and family at the Bounce House in West Plains. It's hard to beat some good strenuous activity, arcade games, cake, and nothing to clean up!

Since he loves animals and tractors, we decided on a farm theme. I was so happy to hear that we could get a cake from Beth's Bake Shoppe (she was on vacation during Griffin's party). I took some stickers and farm scenes in case the little ones got worn out, and also made up little bags of quarters so that everyone got a chance to play some games. It seemed to be a major hit with kids and their parents.

Birthday party season is over until next summer!

For his invitation, I had a mini glamor shot session by the barn one night........that smile can turn any frown upside-down!
