Saturday in the Park

We spent Saturday at Aunt Meg and Uncle Josh's house where we watched the Georgia game with Grandma K and Grandpa D. After the game, we walked down to Keswick Park for the "Jack-O-Lantern Festival" and a few trips down the slide.

Dad and I drove a wooden fire truck here...


My red G-onesy is still undefeated this season after a victory over Vandy...


Here I am with Grandma..we hung out all day, it was awesome!

It was a snug fit for Dad and I going down the covered slide, but we made it.

Yep--camo pants...I rule!

Cooper's Surprise visit to Great Grandma and Great Grandfather

On Tuesday following his Baptism, Cooper and Mom flew down to Florida unannounced for a surprise visit to Great Grandma Doodles and Great Grandfather. Doodles was completely surprised and really excited...

Great Grandfather was in on the secret plans...
We had a wonderful time at La Posada...
Tuesday night, we went over to Aunt Pat and Uncle Alex's house for a dinner party...


Doodles was holding and feeding little Cooper immediately...

Cooper cannot wait to get back to Florida for another visit. It was a special trip. We love you Doodles and Bud.

Baptism of Cooper Douglas

Last weekend was Cooper's Baptism at Cathedral of Christ the King. We had an amazing and event filled weekend.

Here is Cooper and Aunt Marie, who flew in with Uncle Tom from L.A. Bon Jour Aunt Marie...
Cooper and Uncle Tom "cruised" all weekend long. Here are Tom and Cooper having a chat...

Saturday Morning: Cooper's Baptism

It was a perfect morning...
The church was gorgeous...
...and Mom, Dad and Cooper looked pretty good too...
Haber, the Lawson's and the Bird's all joined in for the ceremony. Cooper finally got to meet Will, Michael and Alexis.

Cooper was really well behaved throughout the ceremony, but who wouldn't cry if someone dumped 3 cups of holy water on your head?
Uncle Skip, Cooper's Godfather, flew in from Vegas and met Cooper for the first time.
Godparents Skip and Jennifer will make outstanding spiritual advisors. Here we all are up on the altar...
Cooper and his Godparents...
We enjoyed brunch at the Horseradish Grill.
Will and Cooper with Katie and Grandma Babs...
Cooper requested an 'aviators' only brunch...

Here, Cooper is explaining to Will that he was wearing a 'gown' earlier, not a dress...Will isn't buying it...
Cooper's baptism weekend was incredible. We want to send a special thank you out to all of our family and friends.

Odds and Ends...

Here is Cooper on his tummy-time surfboard wearing his surfboard t-shirt...an accident? I think not. Thanks for the outfit Darren.
Dad and I attempting to ride a airplane-springy thing at the park...this did not end well.
That's my Uncle Skip. He flew in from Vegas for the weekend, and we went to the park on Sunday. We were later attacked by a red-tailed hawk, but that's a story for another day.

Aunt Jennifer & Ethan visit for Bama-Georgia

Ethan and Jennifer came to visit Cooper for the weekend a couple weeks ago. We had a great time....oh, and there was a football game too...


Friday night was great. Everyone had a nice time (and Cooper pretended not to notice Ethan's crimson polo shirt)...
Coach Richt called for the blackout and Cooper was ready with his mini black polo onesy (popped collar - nice touch Coop)...
We won't go into great detail about how the Alabama - Georgia game went, but you can see Cooper and I needed some recovery time on Sunday.Cooper and I awoke from our nap and agreed to decline all future blackout invitations from Coach.
