Cooper woke up to a new table and chairs, books, and a... whatever you call that thing. He is a little small for the chairs, but he loves standing at the table and playing. After breakfast, we were off to the Memphis Zoo! (Warning: LOTS OF PICTURES!)

We wanted to get Cooper a stuffed animal for his first zoo trip. We went into the store and picked out animals he liked: giraffe, meerkat, & penguin (there were not cute Grizzlies and we weren't going to buy him a stuffed warthog :) ).
We asked him which one he wanted, and he immediately pointed to the penguin, so that's what we got him. He enjoys biting his beak. Ha!

It was a great trip! It wasn't very crowded on a weekday, and it was overcast. Cooper enjoyed it more than we thought we would, which in turn made us enjoy it more! We bought a membership, so we will definitely be going back.
