Crawling (kind of)!

I can't believe how much Cohen has changed in the last month or so. He is being his usual awesome sleeper that he has been since about month 5 of sleeping through the night from about 7:30pm to 6:30am. Mom really likes this one! :-) He occasionally has a rough patch of one or two nights of waking up, but does not last long!

Cohen rolls and moves himself around the living room like you would not believe. He has mastered going from lying down to sitting up and also gets on all fours and rocks back and forth. He is so independent and loves to sit in the middle of the living room and play with toys and move around for ever! He has also become more of a "little boy". I feel like he already knows how to easily get my attention and go after things he should not.

We have already slowly started to baby proof the house! Also, this last weekend we made the change from the infant seat to the convertible car seat. I can't believe he is already at this stage! It is quite a change, especially if he falls asleep (which he almost ALWAYS does on the car) and I have to wake him up to go in anywhere. Where in the infant seat, he could continue sleeping if he wanted! Oh well, just one of many changes to come.

I am LOVING this stage . . . he is SO funny and cracks me up all day long. It is so fun to watch him change, learn new things, and remember things. He repeatedly says "DaDa", but I don't think he means to and definitely doesn't know what he is saying. But either way . . . very cute!

And today . . . he crawled for the first time (kind of). It is more of a hop and drag. But cute, either way! Check it out!

Easter and Baptizm

This last Easter weekend was a big one for us. We had Cohen baptized, so Mike's family came in from Kansas, Katy and Madison from California, and Christian, Beth and Sydney from Kansas! We had a fun weekend with all the kids, watching them interact and play. At church on Easter Sunday myself, Mike, Christian (Cohen's Godfather), and Katy (Cohen's Godmother) all headed up front - along with 5 other kids to be baptized by Father Casey. Cohen did great and thought the water he was getting poured over his head was pretty amazing! It was very touching for me as this was the same church that I was baptized in and where Mike and I were married. It has a lot of meaning . . . and I know Grammy (my mom's mother) would have been proud! Thank you all for making the trip out to CO and being there for this special day of Cohen's!

Swimming

Cohen had his first swimming lesson this morning and it was so much fun. We are signed up at the local YMCA for the month of April to do lessons every Wednesday morning. It is a child/parent class, so we are in the water with them. There are 2 other kiddos in the class with us - a 1 year old and a 2 year old . . . so Cohen is the youngest. He did awesome and absolutely LOVED the water!! He had so much fun and had no issued when splashed in the face. We are looking forward to the pool to open and to head to Michigan so we can spend tons of time in the water! Here are a few pictures of us in the water!
