Hello it's me, Cooper B., here to report the new year news! How in the world are you doing out there? I am great, fine as frog hair, finally feeling better after the crappy croup and these big teeth that keep invading my mouth! I now have 11 teeth, not a bad average for a little guy. I guess you know by now though, I am not going to be a little guy much longer. I turn one this month! Mom got some supplies for my bday party already, and boy, am I excited! I think she is going to attempt to bake me a cake. Be sure to wish her luck on that one. Boy, do I have news for you! Guess who the most recent visitors (read victims) to our garage gym (read torture chamber) have been?! Ms. Michele, James, Ryan, and Nathaniel. And guess what else? We have more victims, er I mean guests, on board for Saturday morning. Isn't that the greatest?! Mom and especially Dad are both so excited, the two of them have been extra motivated since they have more gluttons for punishment. You know they say misery loves company, hahaha. I was even out there night before last cheering on Mr. James and Ryan. I clapped for them as they staggered in for the last round! They were working hard and looking like pros already! Dad has been practicing his coaching skills and programming. He has some series excitement in the near future. He is going to be taking the test for his CSCS very soon AND he is going to a Crossfit certification in April. How about that?! Bless his heart, he has been waiting so patiently for a seminar close to home so he doesn't have to be away from mom and me. What a special guy he is! Mom and I are very proud of him and we know he is going to be the best affiliate EVER! Guess what else! We may be going on 2 vacations this spring. Word around the block is Gram B. has some tricks up her sleeve for Easter weekend and I think M&D are seriously thinking about crashing her party in a BIG way. Mom has been flitting around the house since she found out, you know how she loves the beach. The best part, besides the sand, sun, and ocean, according to her, will be seeing Uncle Bart, hooray! Other news, not quite as exciting, but M, D, and me will be heading to Snowshoe around the first week of March for a conference for mom's job. I am thrilled at the possibility of trying out my new sled in some serious snow! We have some more amazing news in the beginning of February, but we will wait to let that cat out of the bag, and NO, I am not going to be a big brother just yet : ). I'll definitely keep you posted on that one! Big time birthdays this month...Great Uncle Chuck's is today, Uncle Bart's is the 13th, Gramps B. is the 24th (my original ETA), Cyn Smell the 26th, Grammy J. the 28th, Great Aunt Pat the 29th, and YOURS TRULY...COOPER B., Big Boy on January the 22nd. As if you didn't already know! Whoowee! Big plans for the grown ups, I hear talk of Snickerdoodles cake. Stingy m&d are ordering a cake of their very own. I will try not to be hurt, but I can't understand why everyone wouldn't want me to feed them cake?! I want to tell you all about my new favorites as follows, the TRASH can; going #2 in the tub and playing with it (ask mom about that one, let's just say she normally has the tummy of a billy goat); swimming in the dog's water bowl; diving on Sam's dirty dog bed, preferably naked; going #1 and splashing in it; and, most recently according to dad, walking backward. Mom has yet to witness this amazing feat as this morning I was so busy doing all of the aforementioned activities. She is keeping her hopes up I will demonstrate this new daredevil act this afternoon. We will see! I also have been really enjoying feeding my dinner/lunch/breakfast to M&D. Sometimes dad gets a little green, I'm not so sure why, but I think he was a little disgusted with banana dipped in salad dressing. What a baby! I LOVE it, doesn't everyone?! I think he has a pretty weak stomach, but not mom, this morning she ate several pieces of my mushy toast and jam mixed with cottage cheese and runny nose like a champ. Needless to say, I was delighted. So what about you? Back to the cake issue, maybe you can give me some insight as to why anyone wouldn't want to share cake with Cooper B., or better still, let me feed it to them. I am practically squeaky I am so clean. OK, enough about that, you think about it, let me know, and I will put in a word to mom and dad to put me in charge of the appetizers for my big day. Finger foods only, baby! Woohoo. Hope you enjoy my above pics, I sure love going for rides in my wagon. It makes mom nervous since there is a specific warning on the bottom about NOT putting infants inside. I tell her she has to try living on the edge every once in a while. Poor mom has to learn to relax! Well, I better run, mom and I have big plans for today. We are doing lunch. Not sure where yet, but knowing her, I can guarantee it will involve a stop at Starbucks! I like the venti caramel mocchiato, hahaha. Helps me sleep. Take care out there. Lots of love to you and yours. Come and see me anytime you get the chance. I miss you and think of you often, Cooper little B., soon to be BIG B.

Hey Lil'B, Nice pictures! Thank your mom for making it clear you are not announcing the Big Brother Thing! You know Gram, I had already let my mind go wild. Just made me more curious on the news. Sounds like some fun coming your way for the next couple months. Of course going from Lil B to Big B, although until your quite a bit older you are going to be Little to us. Glad to hear your dad is keeping happy with his TORTURE ROOM. Hope the new clients aren't reading this. Wouldn't want to scare business away. I will stand-by him and say,"it works, and the oldies are moving much better and quicker with a whole lot less groans than we use to." Just takes a couple weeks to realize it. I did hear d is stepping up our routine soon, ouch! Sounds like Sam might be a little jealous of you getting all the action around the house. What better way to show what little boys are made of. Wait until you are able to get outside, then m&d will be running their tails off. Maybe we better get you a beeper with a flashing light for your b'day! Can't wait to hear how the Snowshoe trip goes. You are going to have some fun with the sled and just think of the workout m&d will get. Yeah! Have a good week and lots of fun planning the big party. Love, gram-ma-ma
HOW MANY DAYS MR.COOPER B? WON'T BE LONG AND YOU WILL HEAR SOME PRETTY SORRY VOICES TRYING TO SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COOPER"
LOVE, G&G B.
