Yup, Cooper will eat just about anything...

Since Cooper started eating solid foods a couple of months ago, we've had a bit of a bet as to what would be the first thing he wouldn't like to eat (because so far, he'll pretty much eat anything)... He loves the usuals (bananas, watermelon), some of the things Lorraine wouldn't dare eat (peas, string beans), and even some things that make Grandma Jean cringe (like lemons and limes). Just about the only thing he wasn't so sure of was hummus... 

Here's a short clip of Cooper doing his best feline impersonation.

Weekend fun with the Gershmans!

(Alternative title - Fun in the water!). Grandpa G came up this past weekend to spend time with the family. He was the designated water escort for Cooper.

Back at home, Cooper sent us messages everyday through Grandma G. The first one was:

Then he reminded us to get him a little something:

When asked what he wanted, this is what he replied:

But we told him no candy until he got teeth. So then Cooper wanted:

This was his last message to us:

Welcome home!

July 4th, part 1

For July 4th, we all headed up to Boston to visit some of Alex's family. It was a surprise visit for Alex's mom, which made it much more fun. We had a great time seeing everyone, and the Soucy family clambake/lobsterfest was just incredible. Here are some of our pictures - more forthcoming next week.

Grandma G is very surprised to see...

Our boy, the eater

Cooper loves to eat (he takes after his daddy!). He has yet to find a food he doesn't like! This weekend, Cooper got to discover Cheerios, watermelon, bagels, and frozen waffles - yummy!
