Happy Birthday Ms. Michele and Sawyer D!

















Hello out there and happy September to you! How are you by the way? We are doing great, getting loads of sleep (at least mom and me) and having a blast hanging out together. I apologize for my pictures being a little bit behind. You will see some from my visit to Gram and Gramps B as well as when Grammy J and the gang came to UB. I want to tell you about my trip to Clara, PA, first and foremost. Let me tell you, they have some TRACTORS up there and I rode ALL of them. Mom and Dad felt guilty about taking me back home I was having so much fun. They have a creek, a horse, and a real live John Deere! Can you believe I drove that tractor? I rode Smoky the horse too, well, for a split second anyway. The only cowboy truly crazy enough to ride that wild horse is gramps and besides, mom said NO WAY! I got to see all my cousins, Kamrie, Kent, and Kirk and Gramma B fed me all kinds of delicious food. Don't tell mom but I think she milks it for all it's worth that Gramma likes to cook for me. I told her we may have to work out a deal because no one rides the Cooper B gravy train for free! We had a wonderful time, we only wish we could have stayed longer. Doesn't seem fair to work so hard and vacation so little, maybe we should move to Europe! Mom is all for a whole year of maternity leave, as a matter of fact, so am I! Don't tell dad, but she spoils me; next time you see me, I might just be totally rotten! Alright...you saw today's headliner I hope. Ms. Michele and Sawyer's birthdays were actually yesterday; I unfortunately get my timeliness from my mother (bless her heart). So if you see either of them, please wish them a very happy belated. Mom and I did just that today. We took Ms. Michele over a little present and she gave me a few more matchbox cars. I am OBSESSED with those things. Mom swears she is going to get me a car ramp and garage as soon as she gets a chance. I can't wait; I make a beeline for the cars as soon as I get to Ms. Michele's. We visited her twice this week already. Last week, mom took me to the zoo and next week, we are planning on attending some story times at the library. We are also thinking about swimming lessons at the end of next month, and to tell the truth, I think mom is more excited about them than I am. Mom is always busy researching new and exciting excursions for us. I told her she may have a second calling in event planning for toddlers! Speaking of events, I have been throwing a party or two of my own lately in my crib. This morning mom came to pick me up and I was NAKED as a jaybird! That's right folks, I have learned to peel off that pesky diaper. The bad news is I haven't quite mastered bladder control yet and mom had to strip my crib down to the mattress! I tried to sleep in the buff, you know I actually prefer it, but mom came in to check on me before she went to bed last night and found me that way. She remedied the situation, but she caught me unaware and as soon as I woke up this morning it was off with the diaper again. She thinks she is getting smart and put pj pants on me for nap time today. I will show her soon enough! Well, I better run...time to get up from my nap and play, play, play. I will be in touch soon with dad's new web address so you can all check out his new site for the business. YAY for dad! So nice to spend some time with you, come on by, it will be a million times better in person. Until then, we will be missing you and hoping to see you soon. Lots of love, hugs, and kisses, Cooper B.

Hey Cooper, You, Gramps and your dad sure look like the Kings of the house eating together. Where were the women???? It was a great weekend, I think you will grow up to be a farmer since you are such a TRACTOR MAN.... We'll keep it warm for ya. Sounds so good to hear that you and your mom are enjoying your days together. We are waiting for another trip to UB, soon I hope. Take care little guy and tell everyone hello. Love to you, Gram B. (Here Kitty, Kitty:)!
