Happy Birthday Cooper!!!

My baby is one, how is this possible? It feels like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. I had an extra emotional week with Cooper turning one and Mason going to Kindergarten Round Up. Everything with these boys goes by so fast.

Cooper started his birthday with his friends at Anna's Bananas, which even included a pizza lunch (they have pizza every Friday, so it was not really a special occasion, but Cooper loves pizza so it was special for him) and a birthday banner compliments of his teachers.

In honor of Cooper's birthday, Corey and I took an afternoon off of work and took the boys to zoo to see the farm babies. Cooper is fascinated with animals, so we couldn't have thought of a better way to spend time with him on his birthday. The weather was perfect to explore all of the outside animals at the zoo.

Later that afternoon while reading a book, Cooper surprised us by saying "duck" and "quack" in response to a big picture. He must know he is a big boy now that he is one.

For Cooper's birthday dinner, he was treated to pancakes and blueberries, along with some whipped topping, which he enjoyed very much.

Stay tuned next week for Cooper's birthday party!
