HELLO!! Did you know Santa is coming soon? I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. We are in full throttle preparation mode here in UB. Mom is a whir of Christmas fury. You should have seen her this weekend. Dad stayed with me and let her get some Christmas shopping done on Saturday morning and you would have thought the poor woman won the lottery. She really needs to get out more. We had a pretty great weekend. We got a new movie, Ratatouille, and we are in the process of watching that now. For those of you who don't have a 10 month old in the house, movies are a process and require not one evening or two hour block, but at times, a whole week to watch! Sort of brings back the excitement of the mini series, at least I think so! Now for some super exciting news. I am pretty much walking. I took 5-6 steps on Friday and I have been working up my nerve to just take off. Takes quite a bit of courage for a little guy, but all of you who know me well know I am up for the challenge. Fortunately, both M&D got to see it all in person; mom almost cried bless her heart. To tell the truth, I am really wanting to wow my WV family. I figured this would throw my unending charm right over the edge, hee hee. Hey guess what? I played in the snow for the very first time on Thursday. I am sorry to say though, I didn't like it too much. Maybe that isn't fair, what I didn't like was all the bundling mom put me through prior to my snow outing. By the time she had me dressed and ready, boy was I mad! I did cheer up when we got outside, that is until I stuck my hand in the snow (after I wiggled it out of those crazy mittens), after this, the romance was over. I started yelling and mom took me back inside, apologizing all the way of course. I forgave her; bless her heart, she can't help herself at times. Other news...I tried to go see Santa today. Operative word here is tried. The line was so long to see St. Nick, mom and dad didn't dare wait it out. I thought it might be fun, but they definitely weren't up for it. I guess I will have to get gussied up some other time or wait until he comes to my house. You know he will; I have been SUCH a GOOD boy this year. Feel free to post comments elaborating on my goodness. Mom tells me Santa may be reading my blog and I figure I will recruit all the help I can get. More news on mom's new job...she is really liking it. Of course, she wishes she didn't even have to work so the two of us could hang out all day together (her most favorite pastime), but since she has to go, she isn't hating it the whole time she is there, which is a plus. As you know, we are heading to WV this weekend. We are all very excited to see our family. It has been over 6 months since I have seen some of my relatives and I can't wait. I bet they won't believe all I am up to these days. Mom and dad just laugh and shake their heads when I get going. I wish I could get one second of alone time with our beautiful Christmas tree and those packages underneath. Those two don't know when to let a little guy alone with his thoughts. I have some serious improvements to m&d's decorating and gift wrapping in mind. I will keep you posted on any progress I make in that department. I hope you enjoy the pics this time. Mom got me all dolled up today for Santa so we took some pictures before we left. They tried to make me wear a Santa hat, but I have to draw the line somewhere, don't you think? Well, dad is already in bed, so I better get going. Please be safe out there and don't forget the reason for the season! We will be thinking of you and keeping you close at heart. Today is aunt Deb's bday, so be sure to wish her a happy one. Cousin Rob's birthday is this coming week too, so if you see him, tell him Happy Birthday. Take care of yourselves. Love, hugs, and smooches, Cooper B.

Nice tree Cooper B. I have a feeling you won't be lacking for gifts to unwrap this year! And the best gift of all........the box! Maybe mom and dad will make a box village for you to play in. You might want to take a u-haul to WV with you. As far as not liking the cold white stuff, I know a place where the white stuff is warm and the sun usually shines on it. Gramps and I checked out the Keys, all week in the low 80's and only in the 70's at night. Let's get to packing and head south! We will gather everyone up and migrate together. Have a good week and great trip this weekend. Glad mom likes her new job. Love to all of you, gramma B.
Great pictures..you handsome devil! You have been way better than good this year, you have been so Angelic..how's that for some points with the big guy? We are so anxious to see you. Have a safe trip in and hurry!!! Love you so much! Grammy & Pappy J
