Cooper's Day at the farm!

Today we went to Riverbend Farm about 30 minutes away from Charlotte to find Cooper's very first pumpkin for Halloween. We had such a great time. We saw animals (ponies, goats, buffaloes, cows to be exact), went on a tractor ride, and found some great pumpkins! Cooper loved every second of it. It's funny to see how he will react to these new experiences.

This is where I see so much of Eddie in him. At first he sat back and just observed - no expressions just checking things out. Once he got comfortable he was jabbering, playing, letting everyone know how good a time he was having. He made some friends on the tractor ride back to the farm after pumpkin picking. The little girls played peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake the whole nine yards. Cooper just ate it up. He's a little flirt I tell you! He had on his adorable outfit on to pick out some pumpkins (apparently it's a little girly - I completely disagree, but we had to correct a few people today that yes in fact Cooper is a boy.) Seriously people look at him - he is ALL boy!


Cooper is also walking up a storm. Really that is all he wants to do - get up and walk. We went out in the yard to play. By play - Cooper thought this meant picking up leaves and fallen pecans and eating them. Needless to say he was very messy when we came inside. Cooper is starting to pull away from us if we are holding his hand and go off on his own. He's growing up! Take a look...

I have more - I will have to update tomorrow.
