Day 363: That Just Happened

Hello All, Please view the video below...

THAT JUST HAPPENED! 363 days old, walking...Done. BTW, these are the actual first two steps ever, caught on the Flip Video by Dad...(text "Coop's D-A-D" to fatheroftheyear.com).

Press Play again...never gets old.

I have a big birthday party coming up, I turn 1. Then its on to the Wedding of the Year for Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Ethan. Strike up the band because I'll be cutting a rug at the reception...I might even be taking 3 or 4 steps at a time by then....impressive.

Press Play one more time...loves it!

Adios and Vaya con Dios...CDM

Mid-July Update

July has been terrific thus far... We celebrated the 4th last weekend and wished a happy birthday to America and (more importantly according to some) a very happy birthday to Auntie Jennifer...we had a terrific 4th of July in Big Canoe. Now, Dad and I are enjoying excellent coverage of the Tour de France, and we're looking forward to watching Lance for another 2 weeks...its great! By the way, I'd like to see Lance try to ride one of these....

Michael and Alexis Bird came over for a visit a couple weeks ago...I bet Dad and Uncle Bird never had this much fun back in their day.

Hmmmm....Yes, Jadeyn and I shared a lovely afternoon at the Chattahoochee River Nature Center. Notice my newest trick..."Sharing"...though its rarely performed and never on command.

Hot tub, poppin' bubbly...Dad and I took a soak in Grandpa's hot tub in the mountains of Big Canoe...(no need for concern, it was only a lukewarm tub in this pic)...

Deep Thoughts, by Cooper...I like to stop sometimes and reflect on life and the fun we are having...see above for a Cooper moment of reflection....Well, enough of that because we still have a hectic agenda this month and for the rest of the summer. Mom says I "turn 1" soon, though I'm not entirely sure what that means. She seems to be making a big deal out of it, so I'm just going with the flow. Also, Aunt JP and Uncle Ethan will be married in just a few weeks...its going to be an incredible weekend long party that I've quietly dubbed "Pennington Palooza/McDaniel Mania 2009"...I may have t-shirts and BevNaps made.

Hope to see you soon...CDM.
