Red Hot Redbirds

Fischer and I met up in St. Louis for our very first Cardinals game this weekend. It was a great game and the weather was perfect! I had a blast clapping and cheering along with all of the other fans. Here we are root, root, rooting for the home team...

Oh baby!

I'm so excited to announce that on April 6, 2009, I will become a big brother!

Mommy and Daddy won't be finding out the gender of the baby this time around. So I won't know if I'll have a baby brother or baby sister until he or she is born! It will be a long wait for us, but I think we can do it!

Cooper to the Rescue!

Yesterday, my playgroup went on a field trip to the fire station. The firemen told us a little bit about what their typical day is like and gave us a tour of their fire house. Then the fun part was when one fireman dressed up in his gear and let us check out the big fire trucks! They even started one up and turned on all of it's flashing lights (which scared me a little). I was really looking forward to sliding down the pole, but can you believe the PBFD doesn't have a pole?! (Yeah, I was shocked too!) However, my day did end on a positive note because after the tour we all got our very own fire hats! I really liked mine and insisted on wearing it around pretty much all day long. You know, just in case I needed to go help put out a fire somewhere.

Life's a Beach

Since Hurricane Gustav spoiled my vacation to the beach, I decided to make do at home with what I have. Who needs a sandy beach and ocean waves when I have my froggy sprinkler pool in my front yard?! ;-)

I'm a Big Boy Now!

UPDATE: My new bed only lasted one night. I decided I wasn't quite ready to make the adjustment to being a big boy just yet. Oh well, my crib is still treating me pretty good, so I think I'll just stick with it for a little bit longer.

Today, I helped Dad put my big boy bed together! I was more excited helping with the construction than I was with the finished product. We'll see how tonight goes and if I will really stay in it...please keep your fingers crossed for my parents. ;-)

Here are some pics of our handy-work...

And testing out the finished product...

Also, last weekend I went for a visit to Fischer's house. Fischer is a proud card carrying "Friend of the Zoo" so he took me as his guest to the Ice Cream Safari there. We had a good time sampling the ice cream but we only made it half-way through before we had to call it quits. It was just too much for our little tummies to handle. At least we know when to say when.

We also did a little street racing while I was in Springfield. We sure got up some speed on the open road! Although Mimi was close by with her radar gun to make sure we didn't break any speed limits.

Reese and Cooper Sittin' in a Tree...

Well, actually we were holding hands while strolling through the park together. :-)
With the weather being so nice this past week, I have been spending all of my time outside enjoying it! I met up with my good buddies Jagger and Reese for a playdate in the park one afternoon. We had a blast and played until our mommies said it was time to head home for dinner and baths. They always know how to spoil a good time!

Party Like a Rockstar!

We celebrated my daddy's birthday this weekend with a BBQ and Wii party! I was a drum hog (as usual) on the Rockband game, but I think my mad drum skills were appreciated by all of the party goers. Here are a few of my favorite shots...

Here I am giving Daddy his gifts on his actual birthday. Check out my face in the first pic...I could hardly contain my own excitement! :-)

Even though I knew what I bought him and helped wrap them, it was still fun helping Daddy open his presents!
