Some parents want their kids to see all 50 states, or visit all of the national parks. My mother made sure I saw just about every antique store on the east coast. What do I want to pass on to Cooper? Air and Space Museums. :) Saturday we traveled to the little known hometown of Neil Armstrong--Wapakoneta, OH. Cooper got to see space suites, memorabilia, and the actual Gemini VIII spacecraft that was piloted by Neil Armstrong (also aboard was Dave Scott...a UoM alum!)!!! I don't think it is a coincidence that my son was born in Ohio and within a week of the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing.... :-D

Just like Daddy...uh oh...
Mommy came home the other day to find Cooper sitting on the floor with Daddy's video game controller, pushing buttons and looking at the TV. There are lots of wonderful ways I want Cooper to be just like his Daddy...video game playing, however, is NOT one of them. :-P

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Alan!!!
Mother's Day was ALSO, very very important because it was Grandpa Alan's 60th birthday!!!! Cooper got to go with Grandpa to find a very special GeoCache called "60 Years Young." He was able to go off roading into the forest in his jogging stroller and watch Grandpa climb VERY HIGH in a tree to get a clue! Cooper can't wait until he can climb trees with Grandpa (if Mommy lets him...)!!! :)
Mother's Day
Even though Daddy felt the need to tell Mommy, "Why am I supposed to do something? You're not MY mother?" Cooper did an excellent job on our first Mother's Day. :) First he made me a wonderful picture at school. THEN, he got me an adorable card, wrote a sweet note, and put a gift card for DSW inside. What a smart boy. He knows the way to Mommy's heart...purses and shoes. :)

My First Big Boy Meal
Cooper is doing such an amazing job with big boy foods that on Friday night, we decided to try a baby food-free dinner! he had peas and a grilled cheese! He picked everything up by himself and put it right in his mouth!!!
Straight A's!!!
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. :)
My friend, Joey!
Last Sunday, Cooper's friend, Joey, came over to play. They played with all of Cooper's toys and had so much fun. Everyone really loved bubble time!!! :-D
