Happy August to You!

Hello out there! How are you? Thank you so much for checking in on me. I am happy to report I am doing great. We had a big Thursday here in UB. I got my 6 month shots and we went to a new place to do it. Our doctor, Dr. V, moved to Reisterstown. It is a little further for us to drive, but we think he is worth the trip. He actually gave me the shots himself. Mom said she wasn't sure if he was qualified to do so, but we thought it was awfully nice of him anyway. I felt like quite the celebrity there. In fact, I think I was their first baby. You would have thought those people have never seen a baby before!! I was afraid they were going to ask me for autographs; you know I was starting to sweat because I have yet to perfect my trademark signature, haha. We talked to Gramma B. today and good news, the poison ivy spots that Gramps acquired while trimming our bushes is better. The bad news is, he is still breaking out with more. Did I tell you we miss them already? I have had a great week though, I have been hanging out with Ms. Michele, meemom and pop, Ms. Norma, and Becca as well as my friends. I told you I am getting to be such a big boy; I took those shots like a champ today. I laughed right at Dr. V when he stuck me. Ok, maybe not laughed, maybe I just smiled and said, "is that the best you can do?" I weigh 19 lbs 10 oz and I am 29 1/2 inches tall! WOW! We have big plans for this weekend and I will tell you all about them soon. I know we are going to have a great time; both mom and dad are very excited. I think those two were up to something for Sat. but I think it fell through. Knowing them they were trying to pawn me off, haha. You know I am kidding...I can't get those two out of my hair for even a second!! I don't know if I told you, but we got our pictures made weekend before last. Now those of you who know me well are gonna laugh out loud, but bless my heart, I cried through most of the ordeal! You know mom has quite the hard time getting me to smile for the camera, HA! The way we figure it, she might have a calling in photography because those ladies at Sears really made me mad. Evidently they don't have the touch. Then one of them had the nerve to say maybe I don't like people. Hmmph! I thought to myself, I have no problem with people lady, you just scared the daylights out of me with your crazy rabbit! Cooper B, not a people person, can you imagine? Mom said not to worry, some people just don't get it. Besides, I like seeing her and dad behind the camera best AND their fancy camera didn't ribbit when they pressed the button. So THERE. From now on, we are just going to duplicate some of the great pics we get at home. Thankfully mom takes about 100 each week so we have plenty to pick from. We did get 2 or 3 beautiful pics from Sears. Better luck next time. Anyway, the pic above with mom and me is us out to dinner at Paradiso on picture day. As you can see, dinner made me feel alot better. Well, I better run. Time to go to the garage to work out. Dr. V complimented me on how strong I am today. I told him thanks to all of those pullups I have been doing with dad. Despite this, he called me chunky! How dare he?! He's awfully nice, so I will let him off the hook for that one. Besides, I think he meant it as a compliment. I hope he knows better than to say that to mom! Hee hee. Take care and PLEASE come on up to UB and see us soon! Much love, Cooper B.
