Cooper Month 19

COOPER

AKA

Professional Animal Noise Maker and/or Dance Machine

Cooper is quite serious about animals these days.  He is really into these National Geographic books from my childhood.  They are full of awesome 80's children wearing faded jeans and side pony tails.  The animal imagery is great too!  He can make the following animal noises and he does these in order upon meeting new people.  I guess its his way of showing off.

• Dog
• Duck
• Cow
• Pig
• Horse
• Chicken (bawk bawk. Which he also does for when he wants to EAT chicken.  Not sure when we realize that the chicken in his book is the chicken that he eats but I am thinking it could be traumatizing.  He really loves those baby chickens.)
• Rooster
• Cat (AAAAHHH!!! I may have accidentally made him think that is what cats say. My bad.)
• Bear
• Monkey

Cooper also took his first trip to San Diego to watch Bobby run his first half marathon.  

Bobby did a great job and we are so proud of him!  

Cooper LOVED the food!  The highlight of his trip.  

He decided to get 5 new teeth while we were there too so he may need a round 2 of San Diego.  But he loved every aspect Sea World!  He just kept saying more more more after every exhibit.  We were also surprised that he sat thru all of the shows.  He doesn't normally sit still for long these days.  He also loved my friend Margarett!  He just lit up every time she met us somewhere.  Overall, a successful trip!

Cooper can also be found dancing at most times of the day.  If there is any type of beat, anywhere, that kid is rockin.  He feels the rhythm. I love that.
