Happy 2nd Birthday, Cooperman!

Somebody turned TWO this week...


It's been a busy week with so many things going on, but the highlight was Cooperman's big day! We had a very successful birthday party on Saturday at the local Fire Station.
The weather was perfect and the firemen were very friendly. All the kids from (1-11 years old) enjoyed getting inside the firetrucks and ambulances, seeing some of the equipment, trying on some gear, seeing my dad up in the ladder basket and hearing the sirens. Each child got a plastic fire hat and a firemen's badge to wear too! The station got a call while we were there and one firetruck and 2 fire fighters had to leave, but the party went on without them!



We all gathered back at the Knott firehouse afterwards for some snacks, cake, ice cream and playing. We were happy with how everything turned out and several families commented on what a great idea this was! I can't take the credit though...I got the idea from a someone at the daycare! Of all 6 parties that I have done for my kids so far, I think this one was near the top!


On Cooper's actual birthday, we all woke him up with the "Happy Birthday" song and opened his gifts before school. When you asked him who's birthday it was, he shouts, "Coopahhhh!" We also brought a cookie cake to school to celebrate and continued the "fire truck" theme. We brought more firehats and badges to school to share with his friends there too. Cooper was a pro with blowing out his candles - I think we had him do it on 4-5 occasions over several days!


We haven't taken him for his two year check up and shots yet, but at the Pulmonologist yesterday, he weighed 29.6 lbs and was 33 1/3 inches tall. From checking out the growth chart online, looks like he may be around 60% in weight and 20% in height!


Happy Birthday, to our energetic, adorable, sweet, crazy, lovable, ONE AND ONLY SON, Cooper! We are so, so proud of how far you have come! We love you as high as the sky and deep as the ocean!
