Florida trip-part 2

We drove back up with Mimi and Pop to Leesburg. It's Cooper's 2nd visit there. He was perfect in the car and kept everyone laughing with the adorable things he does.
It was hot, hot, hot in Florida. A HUGE change from our visit to Wisconsin. Needless to say, we spent lots of time at the pool. I think Cooper had flashbacks of the cold water of the lake and was a little hesitant, but once in he loved it. The first day he napped at the pool for about 2 hours which I loved so I could get some sun time in. I think everyone else was getting restless. Our morning ritual was to head to the pool for a few hours. The little heartbreaker was a hit with all the old people at the retirement community. The grandparents loved showing him off!!

Cooper really started walking during this visit. And you know that each time he did it it was a bunch of grown ups cheering him on like crazy!! We'd laugh and get so excited for him. We have a few videos of him cheering himself on after he'd fall. Round of applause and all. So cute!!

The ceiling fans were a big hit. Cooper loves ceiling fans. He'd wake up in the morning pointing up at the ceiling and start jabbering away. I don't think they get turned on that often as Pop Pop is always cold, but he was okay with Cooper wanting them on.

We had a great time with Mimi and Pop Pop. It's always fun to watch your own parents play with your child. The plane ride home was perfect-we got the back row of the plane and no one sat next to us. Coop fell asleep the moment the plane took off and didn't wake up until we landed-literally!! While we do love to play with him, it's easier at times for him to sleep especially when he's as mobile as he is. THE BEST:: Steve changed Cooper 2 times in the airplane bathroom changing table. Did I mention how much I loved Jet Blue???? I should get paid for pushing this airline.
