Zoo at 2.5

We went to the zoo this week and Cooper walked the entire thing.  We didn't even take a stroller! Now that is a milestone.  He never even asked to be carried and had a blast leading us around.  We almost made it through the entire zoo before the torrential downpour.  Key word ALMOST.  Still fun and a stop at one of our favorite restaurants, Yucatan Taco Stand made the whole trip worth it.  Man I miss that place.

And....WE OUT.

For your viewing pleasure.  My son dancing/bouncing and not necessarily jumping!

Cooper the Cowboy

Having a 2.5 year old is so much fun!  We are just loving all the firsts with our big boy!  Yesterday we drove about 4 minutes from our house to a "ranch" where Cooper rode his first pony!  Her name was Princess.  I know he will love that when he is 16.  We met a few friends up there and at first Cooper was not interested in riding.  He was super happy just observing but the second he saw Mia(one of his older friends) hope onto that pony he was IN. He was going to ride that pony!  So, for all of you friends that are worried about us raising a kid in suburbia and citifying the lad, no fear.  He will be a balanced individual....maybe :)  He did fret a little after he got mud all over his hands.

There he is! SO brave!

Of course, me being the person I am, immediately asked about lessons and planned out his rodeo future.  Then I found out they don't start lessons until six....wah wah.
