Cooper got to go to the Louisville Science Museum! He played with dominoes, built a robot, learned about the human body, and watched an IMAX about the Hubble space telescope. He particularly liked knocking down rows of dominoes after Daddy stood them all up!

Is the bat big, or are we just small?
Both I suppose. :) We went to visit the Louisville Slugger factory and museum! Cooper got to see how the bats used by professional baseball players are made and learn about the history of baseball bats. He even got to bring a bat (more his size) home with him!
Mom, do I know that kid???
It had been a few months since Cooper last saw Maddi, but after this initial, "Who is that?!?" moment, they had a blast together all weekend! They shared their toys and snacks, and they kept each other entertained at every meal.
Just cute.
Sometimes Cooper does things that are unexpected and completely adorable. The other day he did not want to be snuggled in our traditional going to bed hold..he wanted to sit next to me and rock. He fell asleep right there snuggled next to me, sitting up. :)
Are you SURE I'm ready to be a big boy???
Cooper survived his first week and a Cuddly Cub! It wasn't smooth sailing, but I can't blame him...he had such an awesome time as a Honey Bunny he just didn't want to move on! He had a rough time letting mommy and daddy go and was a finicky eater. But he was doing much better as the week progressed and I'm sure that he'll be running around in the chaos with all of the other toddlers before we know it!

Eating with a Fork
Eating with a Fork, originally uploaded by tomo.ono.
Cooper keeps growing up and learning new things. Friday was his last day in his class and Monday he moves up to the big kids club. As if to commemorate this event, he decided to learn to eat food from a fork by himself. He got such enjoyment out of it when he did it, it was fun to watch.

All Better
It's been a while since we posted. It's because Cooper's been sick for a few weeks and as new parents, we were figuring out how to help him out.
So he went in three weeks ago for an ear infection in one ear. He got Amoxicilin and we thought we'd be good. Then he stopped eating solid food and started to be very clingy. After a week, he was still the same so we took him in to pediatrics again. This time he had ear infections in both ears! So we got Augmentin, another antibiotic. After a week, he got worse so we went in to pediatrics again. It was about the same so they told us to keep giving the mdedicine.
On Thursday, he started having fevers and on Saturday it was so high we took him to the ER. At the ER, they told us the Antibiotics we were giving him were useless so we need to move on to Rocephin, shots in the thigh for three days in a row.
So the next three days, he went in to the ER and got shots in both thighs every time. That was supposed to be it but with the antibiotics, he got diarrhea and that caused MAJOR diaper rashes and he went in to the ER yet again.
Now he is finally getting better and going back to his engineering studies...j/k but he is eating more and playing more and it is such a relief.
So... if anyone needs advice on ER's with babies, ear infections, butt rashes and lack of appetite, let us know.
