Cooper's First Bike!

You know that your baby is no longer a baby when it is time for the first big boy bike. Cooper was in love the moment he first laid eyes on his new bike.

When you are looking through the eyes of a little boy, it is amazing how many things there are to remember all at the same time. I find myself continuously yelling out reminders. Things like "watch where you're going!", and "pedal with your feet", and "look where you're going", and "turn", and "look up!", and "brake, brake, BRAKE!!!". That last one still needs a lot of work.

Now chasing after Cooper has taken on a whole new dimension!

Thanks Aunt Tina, Opa, and Oma for this wonderful birthday present!

Opa looks proud of his grandson.

And we are proud of our big boy. We love you, Coopi!
