so where did the nickname "boopers" come from, you ask? (well, nobody's asked, but for whatever reason i feel compelled to explain since after reading older posts i thought i sounded a bit wack-o referring to my child as one name and then another intermittently.)
well, when pete and i found out we were havin' us a baby, we decided that we didn't want to find out the baby's gender until birth day. after much toiling, we settled upon a name we liked for a girl (aubrey) and a name we liked for a boy (cooper...actually, pete really liked this name and i tolerated it. we couldn't agree on any other names).
completely by happenstance we started referring to the unborn baby as "aubooper." then, when aubrey was born, we started calling her "boopers." the only logical explanation i can come up with for this absurd nickname is that it is a holdover from the aubooper name.
so there you have it.
