"You have such a good baby"

This is the quote from a woman at Chili's (about Cooper of course, not Eddie). Today was like our Friday because we are off from work tomorrow and Monday for the holiday. So we got home a little early and we decided to go out to dinner to Chili's where we could sit outside, have some chips & salsa and margaritas (not for Cooper of course, but he was eyeing it - I think he wanted some!). We were going to test Cooper out to see how he did sitting in a high chair by himself while we were out to dinner. We sat down, put him in the high chair and he just thought he was the best thing ever. He played with a few toys that we brought and really entertained himself for the WHOLE dinner. It was fantastic! I kid you not. There was no screaming, no yelling, nothing. Not a peep out of him because he was so busy playing with his toys. The woman sitting across the patio came over and said, "You have such a good baby. He has been my entertainment for my whole dinner. He has the most adorable cheeks!" Of course Eddie and I were beaming with pride. We said thank you and Cooper continued on just playing like nothing had happened. We truly are the luckiest parents in the world!





It's funny because we have been getting lots of comments on the Cooper cheeks. Let's face it, this kid is adorable. You can't deny it. Look at the pictures. One of Cooper's teachers at school has given him a nickname, Spanky, from the Little Rascals because of his cheeks. Google "Spanky" and see if you agree.

One more little tidbit for you all - So Cooper is very good at playing by himself. They have made a comment at school that he really just wants to lay on the floor and learn how to crawl. At home we notice that he really entertains himself quite well. Again, what a great baby!

Bye bye for now! We have everyone coming into town this weekend for Cooper's baptism. Surely we will have some good stories for you.
