Sweet little baby Cohen was 11 months on May 6th. Time has gotten away from me and before I knew it he is almost 12 months and I still haven't done his 11 month post. So here it goes :)
Our lives would be so dull without this little boy. Everything from his little noises to his screams, to his laughing, to his many messes keep us quite entertained.
We love him.
Some of my favorite moments/pictures/new little things he's started doing this month:
Cohen watches tv like the little dog on 101 Dalmatians. How do you tell a little baby not to get to close to the tv? You don't. He does this every single time without fail. And he has discovered how to open those doors and get into everything in there. Loves the DVD's. We've solved this problem by tying a sock around the handles..classy.
His little body will bounce up and down when he likes something he is seeing, and he screams and does this little fake laugh thing. So silly.
He is such a little stinker. I love these moments when he is just so happy playing with his toys and getting excited about who knows what. Such a happy happy boy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...this boy love love loves being outside. But he does not like being in the grass. His little legs will shoot up in the air and his arms go straight out...his core definitely gets a workout staying in that position!
He even loves to just look out the window to outside. He loves flowers and loves to crawl up to them and if he could he would pick every single petal off every single flower if I let him.
Cohen loves bubbles. He gets so excited when I show him the bottle and ask if he wants to go do bubbles...pretty cute! I wonder what is going through his mind when he sees them. He tries to crawl after them but can't quite get to them before them pop.
Once he discovered how to stand up to things he has had many many bruises on his poor little forehead.
Still loves his little baby bath and his green toothbrush and rubber ducky. {he has gotten in real bathtubs and he does not like them! He is used to this little bath and he prefers to bathe that way...our new apartment in Texas has a bathtub though and so he will hopefully learn to love them that way too!}
Love to play with his hair when I put lotion on him after his bath. One of my favorite parts of our day is getting him out of the bath and lathering him up in Baby Magic...I love me a clean, yummy smelling baby. His least favorite part of the day is still getting his diaper changed and clothes on or off.
Loves to explore all over the house. Always going going going and finding all sorts of odd things he likes to consider toys.
Cohen cannot just play with one toy at a time. He has to have at least one toy in each hand. He loves to bang them together or on other things.
Kev graduated and Cohen was able to walk with him. So cute. He was pretty happy about wearing that outfit...must have felt pretty awesome.
Cohen went swimming for the first time! We went to the Richards' pool and Cohen was pretty mellow about the whole thing. Not overly excited but just happy to be there.
Church with this little boy is becoming quite the task. I don't know how people have more than one child and even get a stinking thing out of church. Cohen wanted nothing to do with sitting in Kev's arms during priesthood so Kevin entertained him by throwing his ball down the hall and he'd go get it over and over again.
Sometimes if we are lucky he will fall asleep during church since it's right in the middle of his nap time. 2-5 sure is a late time for church! Kevin even sneaks a nap in with him :)
Cohen loves his stuffed animals and is so good at giving them big slobbery kisses. And me too...I love his big opened mouth slobbery kisses!
He loves the piano. He'll crawl over to it and climb up and just pound away. And if I try to play the piano he crawls really fast and climbs up next to me and reaches his little hand up and can barely reach but he'll hit the keys. I end up picking him up and setting him on my lap and letting him play. He loves it.
He is getting really good at standing up to things and getting more and more confident in his standing abilities...his wobbliness is going away.
I just love this picture of him. I think he looks so grown up.
Whenever Cohen falls asleep on one of us it is the greatest thing ever.
Rarely ever happens anymore :(
Still loves Kev's hats
I was trying to pack but he just wanted to play in the suitcase and take everything I had put in out.
Cohen doesn't really understand that swings are supposed to be fun yet. He puts his hands to his side and so when he is swinging it looks really funny.
He is loving eating more and more real food. He loves fruit, especially watermelon, bananas, and strawberries.
He gets a little antsy while drinking his bottle. He'll decide he doesn't want anymore so wants to get off my lap so I set him down and then a second later he realizes he wants more. So he sometimes eats like this...like a little baby lamb.
Cohen's first time eating pizza...he approved. Kevin is so excited to be able to eat real food with Cohen so he was pretty happy about this moment.
A few random things:
Cohen sleeps from about 7pm to 6:30-7 am... He takes 2 naps during the day and is pretty set on that schedule. He loves his grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, and cousins. He loves all animals...especially dogs when they lick his face he laughs and laughs. He wears 18-24 month clothes.
...
Cohs we love you!! We love you being in our lives and making us laugh every single day! Happy 11 months to you!!
Xoxo, Mom & Dad
