Having a GRAND 'ole time

Coop has been so blessed to spend some great quality time with ALL of his grandparents lately. He adores them so much -- so VERY much that he now says ALL of their names ALL day long! When I ask him who he wants to go see or who he wants to say hi to, you can guarantee it will be one of the following names: Peepaw (number one name spoken in our house!), Pop, Mammy, Nana, Poppi, Honey and even Meemaw (which is what he calls my Grandma Mirabella who is now in heaven AND who I believe kissed Cooper on his cheek and gave him that adorable dimple in heaven before he came to us). I have a few cute, short video clips to prove Coop's love for his grandparents, but I need to work on getting those uploaded in the next few days so you can hear and see for yourself!

But for now, here are some pictures of the big fun he had with Nana at the Natural Bridge Cavern Wildlife Park/Tour several weeks ago...

Watching all the animals from Nana's lap in the backseat

Then he took the wheel for a bit!

Until these creatures started sticking their heads in the window...


That trip ended with a little goat feeding fun! (sorry for the direction of this photo...not sure what happened in the uploading process.)

Next, Coop did a little dancing with his Peepaw and Mammy (two people who really LOVE to dance) at Jamie's reception...
By the end of the night (and all the dancing), he was completely worn out!
Next, we were off to Dallas to spend some time with Poppi and Honey at the Dallas Blooms Festival.

Here is Coop with them and his two cousins, Jordan and Caroline.

Coop loved meeting his cousin Caroline for the first time and hanging out with Jordan again! Aren't all of their expressions priceless?

A little boy time in the lawn with Poppi....

And there's nothing like a nap outside to finish off a beautiful day in the park!

Lastly, this past week Pop came over for a playdate with Coop. And he got to see first hand Coop's love for Mr. Noodle!

They have the EXACT SAME look on their faces! I'm not kidding when I say they sat like this for about 20 minutes straight!! Very enthralling, that Mr. Noodle.

And then they switched to this position. What a cute cuddling shot!

Coop's grandparents are really his FAVORITE people in the whole world! He's so comfortable with all of them. Thank you Peepaw, Mammy, Pop, Nana, Poppi and Honey for showing Cooper so much love and fun. He truly adores the time he spends with you and looks forward to the next visit!
