7:30 I got up and got ready because I wanted to be nice and awake for the birthday boy! I heard him on the monitor about 7:45, but he wasn't crazy fussy, so I finished getting ready.
8:00 I greeted the birthday boy with a song and huge smiles and hugs.
8:30 We played upstairs for a while and got birthday boy ready for the day.
9:00 Bottle and birthday breakfast of yogurt, a little bit of pancakes, and of course some cheerios!
10:00 More play time, a little bit of cleaning and picking up in preparation for all of our visitors.
10:45 I can tell when he's ready for his nap... he gets clingy and fussy and those little eyes get puffy. I put him in his little rocker and rocked him for a few minutes and he was out.
11:30 Wake-Up! Most of the time he just wakes up and looks around, like he's trying to figure out what he missed. Sometimes, he wakes up crying. I hate when he does that! Today was wake-up crying. :(
12:00 Daddy's up and ready and we headed for the zoo before the storms rolled in. Cooper ate a bottle on the way!
12:30 I seriously thought we'd be the only people at the zoo today, so imagine our surprise when the parking lots were full! I couldn't believe it. I guess I just thought we were the only ones who had the idea of going to the zoo on a Friday afternoon. Once we got inside, it really wasn't too bad crowded and the weather was perfect. It was overcast and warm with a nice breeze. We never broke a sweat! We walked around the whole zoo and saw all kinds of fun animals. It was so much fun showing Cooper all the animals and even more fun when we knew he could really see them. The meercats and otters were the best for him to see because we could get right up next to the glass and they were really moving around. He was smiling and waving at them! I was sad that the turtles weren't out yet, they said the ground was still to cold for them. But we all did get to sit on the statue of the turtle! Zach took Cooper into see the reptiles, while I waited patiently outside. I have no intention of ever going in that house.
2:30 We left and headed to get us something to eat! We decided on Hard Knox Pizza in honor of Zach's having pizza last year at around this same time. We shared a salami pizza and it was delicious! Cooper snacked on cheerios... can't wait for him to get enjoy one of our favorites too!
2:57 COOPER IS 1
3:15 We went to the Cupcakery and got us each a cupcake to celebrate Cooper's Birthday. Cooper got vanilla, I got rasberry, Zach got red velvet.
4:00 Cooper got to enjoy his very first cupcake!! I had to test out his to make sure it was ok to give to him ;) and it was delicious. Oh my goodness! We even put a candle in it and sang to him. I didn't want to use his candle for the party and we didn't have another "1" so Zach broke of part of a "7" we had to make it look like a "1" and it worked fine. He seemed to like the icing more and he really didn't take a bite and then eat it, he'd smear it on his hands and then lick/eat his hands.
4:50 Play time with Daddy while Mommy started decorating some for the party.
5:30 Grandmommy and Papa Chas arrived! We got to see Baxter's new hair do. He was so cute!
6:00 Headed for to meet the Snows for dinner.
6:05 Went back home to get Cooper's food that I left at home.
6:10 Really left to go meet the Snows for dinner at Five Guys. Cooper did great eating his veggie and fruit and then enjoyed some more cheerios! I gave him a little bite of french fry, which he liked and tried to give him a little piece of burger, but he turned his head. Crazy boy!
7:30 Went next door and got some frozen yogurt. Mmmm.
8:30 Got home and it was time to get birthday boy ready for bed! He had done amazing this afternoon, considering he never really got another nap. He napped in the car but otherwise he was going on fumes. He was also past his bedtime. But, he loved his bath time and took his last dose of medicine (for his ear infections) like a champ!
9:00 Jammies and bottle time.
9:30 Birthday boy was asleep.
