Big Brother Day!

A couple weeks ago we celebrated "big brother day" to make sure Cooper knew he is our special boy and that it isn't ALL about getting a baby sister, but becoming a big brother!

The day started off at Build-a-Bear.

He got to pick out his animal...

He wanted a "big brother puppy"

So we got him stuffed...


Then washed our new friend...

(& baby sister bear)

And then we had big brother puppy! Cooper wasn't nearly into as much then as mommy & daddy - but that's OK! We had a good time & he got really into it later.

Cooper then helped us on the computers to fill out Big Brother & Little Sister's birth certificates...

Then we ate pizza and got to ride on that cool carousel type thing at the mall.


Cooper was very happy with his Big Brother Puppy & Little Sister Bear!

And last but NOT least... one thing we've been wanting to do... we took Cooper to see his first movie in the theater!! He LOVED it! {& of course the popcorn - most of which ended up on the floor} We're still working on the whole "talking quietly" thing, but he had a great time with Mommy, Daddy & Big Brother Puppy (who simply could NOT miss out on the movie either). We saw Tangled, and not only did Cooper love it, but we did too!

(terrible prego picture of me - don't judge too harshly)

We are so excited for Cooper to finally meet his little sister and go into full-blown big brother mode. He's going to be great! We love you Cooper!
