Cooper's first season of tee ball

Well, after going thru tee ball pics/videos I realize I shouldn't have saved it all for one post.  Lots of pictures coming up people!

We got Coop the Little Tikes tee ball set for Easter a couple years back, so he was just over 18 months.  I feel like those months between Easter and Laney Faith arriving we were outside almost everyday playing ball.  And I know this is a mom's opinion of her son but the boy could hit the ball from early on.  We have hesitated signing him up for any sports for a couple of reasons, #1-he is pretty shy in new situations and we were afraid that he wouldn't actually play in the games. #2-we are selfish.  we know our future is full of weeknight practices/Saturday morning games and we just weren't ready to start that commitment.  Well, several of Coop's friends from preschool were playing this summer and one of the dads was coaching, so we felt it was the perfect time to start.  

The season was perfect!  He had practices on Monday nights and luckily Adam was in town for almost all of them and able to help Coach out with all those 3 year old kids!  Cooper was excited for every practice and game, always ready to hit a home run and to get a Gatorade ;).  


 I haven't ordered the past 2 years of his preschool school pics, but these...how could I resist!?  It's a classic combo of cute and totally cheesy.  
 This is just the cutest thing ever to me, he made us so proud each time he went up to bat!
 Keepin' his eyes on the ball ;)

 The 2 Laneys kept themselves occupied with each other's toys and food.  **like laney's wristband?  coop put his spiderman one on for the game, so of course she just had to have one on too ;)**
Laney became known as the apple girl.  For each game, I cut up 2 apples and she usually finished them both.  For a girl that barely sits still, she was a rockstar at these games.  


He was all over that ball if it was near him,
 threw it to first base.
Coach and Cooper.  I just love that he always referred to him as Coach and Cooper totally admired him.  Coach Harris was so great and patience with those kids.  I feel like he really knew each one and always took the time to look them in the eye and talk.
Mom and Dad are so proud of your awesome tee ball season Coop!  We were so happy to see you happy!
We had a team pizza dinner and trophy presentation.  Cooper is pretty darn proud of that trophy :).


Well, I have a couple cute videos but I can't find them!  Will leave that up to Adam and hope to have them posted tomorrow evening :).
