I was holding Coen today while he was sleeping. (He was totally exhausted from trying to drown himself in the pool. He thinks he can swim already) And I was looking in the mirror and saw that he is half of my size! He is not a baby anymore. He says a new word at least every day now. His first few words have been, ball, me, baseball, wheel, more, water. He is getting into everything and getting in the way of Sawyer and London's play so that has made life very interesting. It's good for all of us to learn how to be patient.

Lips

Coen has learned how to grab my face and kiss me smack dab on the lips. I love Coen kisses!! I just want to bottle him up!

Coen kisses

Coen gives the sweetest kisses ever. He is such a calm, sweet baby. H is also an adventurist  and loves exploring the house. He really can entertain himself for a long time. He's been walking for three months now and he's just cruising along. He's got the cutest little walk I've ever seen. My favorite thing is when he walks to me and falls into my arms and gives me a big hug and *kiss/bite*. He babbles a lot but doesn't say anything but mom and dad. He is going to be tough kid because of his older siblings.  One of my favorite thing about Coen are his beautiful blue eyes. I never get enough of my sweet little boy. 

Too cute for words

My highlight of the day was playing with Coco Bean. We played on the swings, crawled up the jungle gym, slid down the slide, rode a car/bike, played peek a boo in the tub, snuggled, talked, and laughed.With those eyes and that curly hair---he is just beautiful.

Coen Face

Coen does the cutest face when he gets excited, he flares his nostrils and sucks in. He does it when he is walking with a walker.

He still lets me rock him to sleep. I try not to do it because it makes it harder to get him to sleep for other instances but it's so hard not to. This phase is just so short!


He is like my little shadow following me wherever I go and vacuuming the floor--I will not miss that phase. The worst thing I have pulled out of his mouth so far was a nail. Yikes. Super Yikes.

Missing Happy Coen

Poor Coen had a sad day today with a high fever (103) due to a flu shot. Dad made the comment that he hated to say it but it was kind of nice to have Coen subdued. It was a lot easier to take care of him but I sure missed his smile and his curiosity. He is all over the place and he is already fighting for what is his.

Let me out

Coen was watching Joel and the kids play around at bedtime the other night and was very envious and looked like he was trying to gnaw his way out of his crib. He seems very curious which will make things interesting....
