Batman Birthday

Although today is Coop's actual birthday, we had the birthday partay on Sunday.  Unfortunately, Mark had a work commitment in Boise that he couldn't get out of on Coop's birthday, so we decided to celebrate a little early.  Coop was on board with that and quite frankly, I think he's enjoyed milking it for all it's worth as we have been celebrating ever since.

Coop has recently discovered Batman.  Or as he likes to call it, "Baaaahtmaaaahn".  Coincidentally, he has also developed what sounds like a Boston (Baaahstaaahn) accent along with this new obsession.  We're not sure what to think about this new "accent" or how it even evolved.  For now, we're just laughing it off and going with it.  I have to admit, I keep waiting for him to tell  me that he 'pahked his cah at Hahvad Yahd' every time his accent thickens.

Coop requested a chocolate Baaahtmaaahn cake.  Luckily, I had some help with the decorating.  I also searched high and low for a batman figure to put on top of the cake that didn't have guns, daggers or other dismembering devices.  That was a very hard feat.  Yes, Cooper is unfortunately discovering "shooters" but we're trying to avoid the topic of weapons as long as we can.  This is going to get increasingly harder to do as we enter into the Super Hero Chapter of our lives.  But I digress......not only do I have to come to terms with the fact that our BABY BOY IS FOUR, but that our BABY BOY likes BIG BOY THINGS!!!!

Here are some pics from our Baaaahtmaaaahn Birthday Celebration........
