6 months and growing...

I never imagined how much a baby could really change your life...until we had Cohen. Everyday I find myself thinking how lucky we are to have Cohen as part of our family!! He is such a happy little baby, especially at 6:30 in the morning. He insists on being an early riser, and if it wasn't for all the smiles and giggles, I would find it much more difficult waking up with him everyday :) He just got his first tooth this week, and I think there is another coming soon. I sure am going to miss that gummy little smile! He is also starting to learn how to crawl...he is only moving backwards and in circles for now, and always manages to get half his body under the couch. Last week he finally started getting on his knees and rocking back and forth. I'm sure he will be motoring around in no time! Here are just a few pics of the last month.

Anyone who knows me...knows that i LOVE candy :) Thanks to Geoff & Nicki...i have started Cohen very young. I thought it was necessary considering this sucker will take 5 years to finish!!

This is one of Mat's favorite pairs of pajamas. They are little "Thor" pj's...he seems to think it brings Cohen that much closer to riding a dirt bike. I don't see that happening for at least 10 years!!!
Cohen loves to horse around on our bed!
Cohen was so happy to have Auntie Breann come and visit.
Some great pics Aunt Nicki took

Yummy...real food (if you can really call it that!)

6 months came WAY to quickly for me. It was fun starting him on the rice cereal. Watching him slowly get used to this mush being shoved in his mouth :) Then came the veggies...so far so good!

First time trying the rice cereal


Wasn't too fond of the peas


He insisted on doing it himself

Moving!

It has been way to long since I have blogged...but moving is a lot more work than I anticipated. First came the packing in the condo...not fun!! Packing really sucks, and packing with a baby sucks even more. Moving day came very quickly though, and with lots of help from all our family...we finished in less than 5 hours. We are so lucky to have both our families so close. Thank you everyone! We have been in the new house for 3 weeks, and it is slowly starting to feel like home. I am LOVING the extra space, especially in the kitchen. It is amazing how much more enjoyable cooking can be when you have more counter space...and a dishwasher! Needless to say, we are loving our new house! The only bad thing about moving into a house with more space...is having to get more things to fill it up.

A day at the park

It finally feels like summer is coming!! We went on a little picnic with Nicki, Kaiya and Jager last weekend. It was a perfect day...besides the wind (good old Lethbridge). We put Cohen in the swing and he LOVED it! It feels like he is getting so big...time goes by way too fast! I am really enjoying this age, he is getting such a little personality. I never could of imagined how much fun being a mom could be!

A little bit of lately

There always seems to be picture worthy moments with Cohen. Here are just a few to show off the last couple months!

Bumbo


Looking handsome as ever!

BUSTED!!


Not quite ready to sit up on his own


He can be a little emotional :)

Photoshoot at 3 1/2 months

Ok...I may be a little behind posting these pictures, but better late than never. I thought these pictures turned out great...thanks Nicki for taking the best pictures!

JoLLy JumPer!

Cohen LOVES his jolly jumper. Everyone who sees him in it can't believe how much he can jump. He goes a little crazy sometimes...it is hilarious. My mom thinks he will skip walking and go straight to jumping. This is because any time you try and stand him on his feet he starts to jump. I have to admit, think I might love the Jolly Jumper as much as Cohen. It is great having him entertained for a short time each day...a little time to get some things done.
