Busy, busy as a bumble bee!

We have been very busy lately and trying to keep active during these cold days. Which is hard to do when you have a VERY active 1 1/2 year old that just wants to run around outside and could do so for hours and hours. Here are some activities that we have been doing:

Open Gym at the Lawrence Gymnastic Academy. He absolutely loved this and didn't stop moving once until I put him in the car!

We have gone to the KC mall twice to play and that is pure entertainment because there are so many other kids there that he can keep his eyes on. This is his favorite car, the blue, convertible BMW. Better not be sign for what he is going to "want" in 15 years!
Today we went to Story Time at the library for the first time. He clapped at all the right times, listened pretty intently at the books being read. But again, was more entertained by all the kiddos there. We will definitely put this on our calenders for future Wednesday mornings!

About once a week we have been going up to the McDonald's by our house which just built a new "playground". We go with our friends Kyly and Anderson (14 months) and the boys play and mommy and Kyly get grown-up time - or as much grown up time you can get in a McDonald's play area!

Anderson and Cohen have become pretty good friends considering they get together and play about 2 or 3 times a week. Here is Cohen and his buddy!
Cohen has been "talking" a lot more. He will walk around the house and just chit chat - obviously I have no idea what he is saying even though with him I pretend I do. Sometimes it is into a "phone" (which could be a calculator, lego, remote, etc) or just at Naismith or at me or the tv. Mike and I just look at each other in amazement at how much he is developing every week.

He got his first middle molar this last weekend (January 23/24, 2010) and wow, it is a sharp little sucker. That is the first tooth to make an appearance since July! I have a feeling the others will start popping through now. He has a total of 7 now (4 top front, 2 bottom front, and the new molar).
