Zoo Outing

Yesterday morning Coop & I headed to the Zoo to hang out with our friends the Malans & see the fun animals.  Cooper fell asleep on the way & was totally zonked so I just kept him in his car seat & clicked him into the stroller. (Gotta love the travel system!)

Cooper was a bit confused when he woke up
& had to ride in his car seat. He was just
living up his last day as a baby. :)

I wanted to document this visit to the Zoo because it was the first time that Coop had any kind of reaction to one of the animals. We saw the Lions, Monkeys, Warthogs, etc. but he didn't seem to notice. We made our way to the Panda exhibit. I took Coop out of the stroller to walk closer to the glass so he could see. Once he saw the Momma & baby Panda he got really excited!! He started reaching out for them & immediately started jabbering. It was the cutest! We stood there & watched the Pandas eat for just a minute or two. It started to get crowded so we said goodbye to the Pandas & started walking out. Coop was not ready to leave the Pandas. He started reaching over my shoulder to try & get back to them!

the Pandas that Cooper loved!

I know this isn't much to most people by as a first time Mom who's baby is starting to become a little boy-this was huge. It's so neat to see his personality come out more & to see his opinions/likes/dislikes. He's becoming a real little guy! I know it won't always be so cute & awesome but for now-it is! :)

Can't wait to see what Coop likes at the Zoo next time! Special thanks to Erin, Finn, & Liv! :)
