Silly Philly

This weekend we were in Philly for one of Steve's bike races. The weather initially looked like it was going to be really nice but Saturday was a bit of a disaster with extremely high winds that were so bad Coop really could hardly stand up. Aunt Jo met us in Philly since Baltimore isn't a far drive. On Saturday morning Aunt Jo called to see what time we were going to meet up but she sounded really tired so I asked if she was ok. She said yea she was fine, just tired b/c her and Kelly (her friend who she was staying with in Philly) went out Friday night to help close off some roads so that toads could cross and mate. Yep, you read it right. Aunt Jo and Kelly didn't go out to bars and party it up. They stayed out until 2am to ensure that toads could properly cross the road and mate. I asked if she was drunk. She said no. Typical Aunt Jo.

So Cooper met up with his Aunt Jo for fun on Saturday. He's definitely having some major separation anxiety lately and has really gotten into the stranger danger phase so I wasn't sure how he would handle Jo since he hadn't seen her for about 6 weeks. But Jo and Coop have a bond that's been obvious since he was a teeny tiny baby b/c he pretty much greeted her with open arms. Aunt Jo is a lucky lady. While Daddy raced we went to a neat-o kids museum that Coop seemed to enjoy. I didn't take pictures b/c he was a bit of a handful but Kelly is sending me a funny one and I'll be sure to post it when I get it.

Sunday was a beautiful day with a slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky. This time we got to watch Steve race and Coop had a good time playing in the park where the race was. Every time the racers would go by Coop would laugh and say DaDa.......still no Mama (grrrr) :). Coop's schedule was kind of nuts this weekend so naps came whenever he would allow them. I'm posting a picture of Cooper when he passed out eating goldfish crackers and watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse in our hotel room. Saturday night he woke up from a long nap in a complete fit. I'm pretty sure it's because he was starving and we couldn't get the food in him fast enough. You'll see what I'm talking about on the video....it was even more hilarious before we started taping.....
