My 1st Birthday Party

Hello friends -- Fear not, Coop is back. It has been a heck of a couple weeks with my 1st birthday and Aunt Jennifer's wedding back-to-back.

Mom planned a quite the circus gala to celebrate my first year of domination....

We had a chalkboard...

...and a tent...

...a Clown cake brought to you by Edgar's in Birmingham...FYI-we just hit medallion status in their million calorie rewards program...we qualify for double icing/filling on our next cake...

Grandma K and Babs look bored...wait, just kidding. They were LOVING it!

Clowns....hmmmm, not so sure. "...listen lady, I hear what you're saying, but you are creeping me out. Your hair is purple and you've been balancing that tea cup on your head for like 2 hours...and you are a close talker."

Will Lawson + Cooper Murphy = Ratings.

I think I lasted like 38 seconds on the chair for Miss Teacup's magic show. The big kids (Dad) liked it, but I was over it and back to the bubbles with a quickness.

Wow, I'm not sure how this photo didn't end up on the cutting room floor...not my best likeness.

Yep, Grandpa's D and Stu were there too. Clearly, this picture is an instant classic...nice hats gramps's. (Ethan, did I get that apostrophe right?)

It was a spectacular party, thanks Mom. Thanks also to all my friends and family that came to share it with me.

Coming Soon....Aunt Jennifer and Uncle (its official now Unc) Ethan's wedding extravaganza...we laughed, we danced, they wedded.

Also, I am taking steps like a pro...I took 17 steps today and many 8-15 steppers too. I'm really getting the hang of this, and it won't be long before I qualify for the title "toddler"....but for now, I will have to settle for the title "AWESOME"....Ha!

Hope to see you soon (and I can't wait to see Aunt BEEEE in October!!)

Happy Trails...CDM.
