6 MONTHS OLD!!!

I cannot believe how fast time is going by. Cohen is already 6 months and he is just so funny. I think I've told you that he's found his "voice"....well now he's found his scream...he doesn't use it when he's upset or mad....but just so he can here it. It's usuallly when he's in the best mood that we hear "aAAAAHH AAAAAH aAAAH" (high pitch of course). He doesn't like it when mom and dad leave the room....he likes all eyes on him all the time....sheesh you'd think he was an only child! oh wait :).....he is.He loves story time, more because he likes to suck on the book...not so much listen :). He is sitting up all by himself and gets more and more sturdy every day. The diaper changin is becoming less and less of a desirable chore.....being that we have introduced more formula to his diet on top of solid foods.....so uh....ew. He is also starting to like to see other lil' people his size. He loves his cousins....and they love him to death ( uh...literally) ha ha. He'll be a tough kid ha ha! Anyways...we are going to Virginia on Thursday and we are sooooo excited. My brother is coming home off his mission and it will also be a much needed break for my hard studyin husband and my full time work and mommy schedule. We are excited to take Cohen out there!

CATCHING UP ON JULY!!!

There has been quite a bit goin on this month!!! First thing is first, my little sister Hannah came out to spend a week with me. She watched Cohen while I went to work and we got to play a little as well! For the 4th of July we went to Jerry's sister Christy's house in Logandale. It was so cute we went to the fair grounds and they had a big breakfast for everyone and they had hangliders flyin over head and throwin candy for all the kids. They also had the fire department out there sprayin everyone with their hoses. It was so fun. We then went swimmin, had a bbq and watched all the fireworks. Hannah was a hit with my nephews. It was pretty cute. Then on Saturday night Hannah and I went to the American Idol Top 10 tour at the Thomas and Mack Center!!! I was so mad because my camera ran out of batteries....so yes I saw David Cook....your all jealous....i know :) ha ha. It was a blast and fun to do some sisterly bonding! The next week we went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay bay....again...good times.

COHEN TURNED 5 MONTHS!!!!
Here are a couple milestones:

*We started him on solid foods....hasn't been COMPLETELY successful....he did NOT like the rice cereal for a couple weeks.....The look on his face made it seem like we were torturing him.....carots went a LITTLE better...peas not so much....Sweet potatoe's were the best.....I thought he'd love bananna yogurt...um....but no. It's pretty much bath time after every meal.

* He LOVES the sound of his own voice. and has recently started the "dadadadadada" "bababababhaba" "mamamamamama" although I was at Rachelle's the other day feeding him during my lunch hour and he went in on the "da da da da"....I said "Ma ma ma ma ma" he responded "da da da da" I battled back "ma ma ma ma m"....Okay this went on for awhile.....I guess Dada is the first word :) ha ha. DANG IT!!!!!!

* He is strong enough to sit up on his own but he lacks the balance :) he's getting better and better at it every day though!

* He is the smiliest kid on the planet!!!! SO FUNNY and is so good with others. He gets excited when he sees you coming to pick him up! He kicks his legs so fast!

* He's scootin and rolling over! Still gets pretty frustrated on his stomach however because he wants to move but just can't figure out how to do it.
