Wiggle Worm and Cheerios

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to update the blog, so this one might be a little long . . .

Cohen is acting like a "little boy" every day. It is amazing how quickly they grow up and their personalities change on a daily basis.

When Cohen is awake - which is mostly from 7am-7pm - as he doesn't take very long naps as he gets most of his sleep during his 12 hour stretch of sleep at night - he is constantly moving, wiggling, arching his back. Just wanting to move. It is quite exhausting, but also so funny what a change it is from just 1 month ago. He used to just sit there, cuddle, etc . . . and now he wants to be standing (with our help, of course) or playing vigerously with something.

Another something that have we started - very slowly - are cheerios. Just to give him a little something. He really enjoys it and it is funny to watch him try to figure out what he is supposed to do with it. He has also been introduced to a sippy cup (with 1/2 apple juice, 1/2 water) occassionally. He is actually very good at it . . . and enjoys giving it a try and chewing on the spout!

As I mentioned in the previous post, he had mastered the back to belly flip . . . well now he has mostly mastered the belly to back flip. He does it a little awkwardly and everytime I am afraid he is going to break his arm, but he makes his way over and with both arms free. With all of his movements it is kind of a guessing game to see what direction and where in his crib he may be in the morning - middle, corner, twisted around, etc.

Katy and Madison were here for a week right after Mike's 30th and we met our dad up in Denver for lunch and a trip to the Acquarium. Here are a few pics from that!

Cohen has pretty much outgrown his infant tub, so we got him a new "duck" tub and gave it a try tonight. He really enjoyed it and seemed very relaxed! And since everything needs to go into his mouth lately, he quickly turned around on his belly and attempted to pu the duck tail in his mouth! His little feet are already touching the other side of it so who knows how long he will even fit in this one . . . geez this kid is growing fast!

We have had such fabulous weather here in Colorado that the family headed to the park today! Here are just a few pictures from the day, but will send out more in the monthly picture album that I send out!
