We had a parent teacher conference the other day. Cooper finished the "Level I Infant Curriculum" in March with Straight A's!!! That means he Always demonstrated each of the skills they were looking for. He's already flying through Level II. His teacher is very impressed with his progress and they think he is going to be ready to move onto the next classroom very soon...maybe even before his first birthday! I'll be sure to keep the report for his Michigan class of 2031 application. :)

Focus Face
Cooper's been doing this quite often when he is focusing on a task. Abigail chews on her tongue when she's focusing, Cooper does this...
At least it's not as annoying :-P

Vacation
Our first day in Montana for vacation... Flew in to Bozeman, MT and then took a nap to get ready for the excitement. This type of scene seems to be very common with these two though.

Cooper Got His Ears Lowered!
Well, mommy finally reached her limit...Cooper needed a hair cut! He watched Daddy get his haircut first so he'd know what we going on. Then he sat on Mommy's lap and was such a big boy the whole time! He sat still and didn't cry at all! AND, it turned out so nice! If it's possible, Cooper got even MORE handsome!!!! :-D
Cousin Emily and the Park!
Spring has come to Dayton and we rushed to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather! Cooper's cousin Emily came over for a sleepover and we went to the park! Cooper and Emily went down slides, swung really high, ran all over the place, and enjoyed this cool green dinosaur thing together. :) Then, on Saturday morning, Emily even came with us to Cincinnati to see Grandpa Alan! We had so much fun! Come again soon, Emily! :-D

Cooper is showing little interest in crawling, but LOTS of interest in standing and being mobile! We'll see what happens!

Cooper's Mini Cooper
Daddy got to share one of his passions with Cooper yesterday...cars, cars, and more cars. We went to the Cincinnati Auto Show. Grandpa Alan and Susie came along too! In particular Cooper enjoyed trying out the Mini Cooper. As you can see, he liked it a lot! :) Cooper and Daddy also checked out the minivans....(Daddy think his next car will be an STI, but Mommy knows better!).

Sitck with me kid, and I'll teach you everything I know.
Cooper FINALLY got to meet his buddy Matthew the other day! They had fun staring at each other, eating, drooling, napping...and you know, baby stuff. We look forward to lots of play dates in the future. :)

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
Cooper had of course ridden in the car, and he had been on a plane...but in Japan he got to ride trains (lots of them!) for the very first time. He seemed to enjoy the trains and spent time looking out the window at the scenery and napping. On our last day in Japan, Cooper even got to take the Shinkasen (bullet train) from Nagoya to Tokyo!

I'm a Little Wolverine!
Cooper finally made his first trip to Mecca...wait....I mean Michigan! Since we were flying out of Detroit to go to Japan, we obviously made a very important stop in Ann Arbor! Cooper braved the cold to walk down South University, have lunch at Pancheros, visit the Michigan Union, and of course get his picture taken in the Diag with the "M". We didn't walk on it though because we don't know if the curse starts from birth or only after Cooper starts his freshman year (the fall of 2027 or 2028)!
Cooper's First Christmas!
I suppose we should have had "Cooper's First Hannukah!" first...but unfortunately, we were so busy getting ready for Japan that even though the Menorah is sitting on the mantel...it never got lit this year! But, we did have a small Christmas before we left for Japan. Cooper wore his Christmas pajamas and Grandpa Alan, Uncle Efrem, and Susie came to have dinner. Then we opened some of the presents under the tree. Cooper got some very fun new toys! He really likes the Zoo toy that Uncle Yoshi sent!

Cooper's busy social schedule
Well, it' the holiday season and that means cold, lights, and friends! Yesterday, Cooper's school had a Winter Wonderland in the morning. We went and saw a real reindeer, visited with his teachers and friends, and made a Christmas picture frame! Then, in the evening we went to visit a friend of mine from work and his wife, Matt and Chloe. After dinner we went to a park in downtown Dayton that had carriage rides through the park that was all decorated with lights for the holidays! Cooper was a perfect gentlemen. :)

First Try at Rice Cereal
First Try at Rice Cereal, originally uploaded by tomo.ono.
Cooper is a big boy now and can eat rice like mommy and daddy... well almost. Cooper tried rice cereal for the first time on Saturday and has been eating well since.

Why is Mommy in that tiny box...AGAIN?!?!?
Well, I'm out of town on buisness again....but Cooper is old enough now that he clearly understood that he was "talking to Mommy" on the video chat. He was eating a bottle and was trying too look around when he heard my voice. Then when he finished he sat up and gave me lots of big smiles and coos. I miss both of my boys so much!!!!

Trunk or Treat
Cooper went to his daycare's Trunk or Treat party. He found one of his friends, Sasha, and we all hung out together to watch all sorts of costumes. Cooper was a hit with his giraffe costume and since we found his tail, it was that much better.

Bear in the Woods
We found a bear in a park in Dayton!! Oh, never mind, that's Cooper! It was such a warm day in the fall that we all took a nice walk at the Cox Metro Park. We went into the woods where all the leaves were yellow and Cooper had a lot of fun. He met some people on the trail and scared them because he looked like a bear. What a silly guy...

Cousins!!
Mommy's cousin, Rebecca, came all the way from Arizona to meet Cooper! And Cooper's cousins, Emily and Xander came to visit too! Xander loves giving Cooper hugs, kisses, and petting him "like a kitty" while Emily is very gentle when she holds Cooper. We are also happy to pass on Rebecca's decree that 1) We kept our promise and did not give Cooper a stupid name and 2) Cooper does not look like an alien. Yes, Mommy is in her pajamas. She had to spend the day in bed with a yucky cold, but is working on feeling better so she can give Cooper a million kisses.

Never Too Far Away
Sometimes I think technology is going too far...but not when I'm in CT and desperate to see my boys! I am in Hartford, CT for a meeting. I came in Wednesday evening and will go home Thursday night, but by the time I got to my hotel, all I wanted to do was get hooked up to the internet and see Tomo and Cooper! It's hard to be far away, but it helps a lot to be able to "chat."

First Day of School!
Today was Cooper's first day of school. Mommy and Daddy both went to drop him off in the morning and to pick him up in the evening. Abigail checked on him throughout the day and kept getting the same report, "He's doing great!" He took good naps, ate full 4 oz bottles, and was just a really good boy! We knew he would be. We missed him more and more as the day went on though and driving from base to the school felt like it took an eternity! Cooper is the star of the class. Everyone wants to hold him, they think he's adorable, and they were extremely impressed by his burping abilities (which he gets from his Uncle Efrem). I suppose we'll let him go back again tomorrow...
