Fun at the Fair

We took Cooper to the Weber County Fair this year. He loved looking at all the animals. He even got to eat some fair food, yum!


Cooper wasn't sure what to think of this goat. A little too close for him.


This cow is bigger than Cooper!


The goat was fun to pet.

What a cute boy in his stroller!

A Visit with Grammy Rachel

During my summer vacation my mom was able to come for a visit.


She brought Cooper a Thomas the Train book. His favorite thing was to push the horn. Too bad there is no off switch.


The weather was beautiful so we played outside almost everyday.


Cooper's other favorite toy is his keyboard. He loves to shake the cord and try to eat the end. Cooper is fast, but not as fast as mom and dad.


One day we went hiking at the Ogden Nature Center. It was a little hot that day. I think we were the only people there. Cooper enjoyed riding around on daddy.


He had so much fun that he wore himself out. He decided to take a short nap.


Another one of Cooper's favorite things to do. Rip magazines. Luckily dad said "this one's online".


Aunt Olga and Uncle Craig came down for a weekend to visit. All Cooper wanted to do was walk around. Luckily they were nice enough to oblige.




Pretty risky eating Cooper's toes. He inherited the "Sandstrom" gene, oh no!


Cooper is gagging himself as Gammy Rachel feeds him banana.


Cooper loves taking baths.


Our new family photo. Cooper and daddy always seem to make the same faces.

We had a really fun visit with Grammy Rachel and can't wait to see her again in October for Cooper's birthday.

Uh Oh!!! A New Twist to Napping...

Well, just when we thought Cooper had finally accepted his fate of taking two naps a day, he has decided to protest in a new way. Prior to today, at naptime, we would lay Cooper in the crib and he would either scream in protest (primarily due to poor timing on our part), or go right to sleep. Sometimes, after yelling for a bit, he would go to sleep. However, his new method is a bit more complex than a mere cry. He has discovered how to move from a laying position to sitting. Once sitting up, I fear a nap is out of the question...
