Yesterday, Grandma Cathy and I took Cooper out for his first trip to the neighborhood park. It was a little chilly, but we thought some fresh air would be a welcome change.
At the park we took some pictures. Just so you know, the pictures were staged. We did not actually send Cooper down the slide. Actually he slept through most of the trip, and we just lay him on the slide and stood real close.
The fresh air was nice. Hopefully we will take many more trips here in the future, and maybe Cooper will be awake next time. :)
Thursday afternoon was Cooper's first Minnesota Twins game. It was a chilly afternoon. Cooper went to the game with mom, Grandma Nadine, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Courtney, Joe, and Dave. Cooper didn't open his eyes the whole time. That's okay. The Twins lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 3-15. He must have known that it'd be a bad game. We were lucky we had Cooper to entertain us, because the Twins weren't very entertaining. 
Abby is intrigued by all the sounds and smells that come from Cooper. She is always sniffing around and will make sure we know when he has a poopy diaper. She runs to his side at each little coo and squeal. Her mothering instincts have definitely come out. She likes to lick his head and hands, and must check out anyone that wants to hold him. We’ve had to teacher her about boundaries and we joke that Cooper’s first words may be “No, Abby,” but overall she is doing very well.
