Happy 30th Birthday, Mike and more . . .

Last week, February 19th to be exact, was Mike's 30th birthday. It is so crazy that is already the year of the 30's.

Also over the weekend, we had our good friends, Christian and Beth, in town. As well as my sister, Katy, her husband, my neice Madison, my brother, Tim and his wife, Kinzie! It was so great to see them and have them see Cohen as it had been some time since Tim and Kinzie had seen him (since beginning of October when he was 3 weeks old).
As I previously mentioned in an earlier post, Cohen has rolling all over the place. He has mastered the back to tummy and working hard on the tummy to back. He can do it . . . but not as easily. I have seen him do it only a handful of times, and that is after a LONG time of working at it. Also, I know he is doing it during the night as he is normally rolling right to his tummy when he goes to bed and then this morning I went in to get him and he was on his back. It is crazy how mobile he is wanting to be so quickly. Can doesn't enjoy to sit still and wants to constantly be "standing", obviously mostly us holding him up, and sitting up all the time. He pulls himself up to sit up everywhere - car set, bouncy chair, etc. Pretty funny!
He is also smiling nonstop and giggling is becoming more and more common. It is hard to get it recorded as I feel as though he gets camera shy as soon as I point it towards him. But here is a little shot of giggling . . . until Naismith did a drive by! :-) I'll see if I can get a better video of him giggling and will post! (Make sure to mute the songs all the way at the bottom of my blog, so you can hear Cohen!)

Here are some random pictures of Cohen over the last few weeks:

Flip Floppin'

So this morning Mike went in to give Cohen a kiss before leaving for work and he was on his stomach! Over the last few days, he had mastered the back to tummy flip, but this is the first time he had done it in his sleep and stayed that way. So no more leaving him on the bed or ottoman and walking away for even a minute. He is too rolly polly . . . and that is asking for a disaster!

Since Cohen's 4 month appointment, the pediatricain ok'd giving him cereal and vegetables and fruits. So we started with cereal, then moved to vegis and are now on fruits. He loves them and eating from a spoon. He is such a good eater . . . it makes it so easy. Here he is while eating prunes!
The last month we have had unbelievalbly amazing weather here in Colorado. We have had many great days, which resulted in us getting out as much as we can. We have been to the dog park a few times. Cohen loves it . . . there is so much to look at and listening too. Here is a picture when we got him, he was so exhusted, he fell asleep as soon as we got in the car.
Cohen LOVES bath time, but he has gotten too big and long for his little infant bath, so since I wasn't prepared and hadn't bought him a new baby bath we decided to let him free-fly in the bath one night. He loved it . . . he could finally spread out, splash, and move around as much as he wanted.
On Wednesday the 4th, we were having wonderful weather in Colorado and decided to head to the zoo . . . even though I knew Cohen wasn't going to careless about the animals, it was fun to get out and enjoy the awesome weather! He fell asleep the last 20 minutes or so, so he missed the apes and hippos . . . but there will be many more trips to the zoo!
