:: What am I to do with you?::
 {hair styled on his own while eating PB&J}

What am I to do with this boy?
Nothing but LOVE him.
I LOVE HIM.

Cohen is big. I keep saying that, but every week I think to myself "he is completely different than last week." Brock and I keep saying we love this stage the most, but again we keep saying that about every stage. Kids are so great, aren't they?
Cohen is starting so many new things:
- he is starting to form sentences, for example he'll say 
"Mama, Dada, outside". He wants Mom and Dad to go outside with him.
- he is copying more words we say than ever. 
He attempts all of them. I can make out most, but not all.
- he is starting to do more actions to songs, such as: 
I'm a little teapot, head shoulders knees and toes, 
five little monkey jumping on the bed {his favorite}.
- I could throw his binki away and he would be just fine. 
He only has it in his crib when sleeping.
- he is drinking water more and will ask for it. {wah wah} 
Loves to drink it out of a glass like Mom and Dad.
- he LOVES playing with cars, trucks, tractors and will 
drive them around making sounds all day long.
- If I leave the room he will instantly say 
"Mama, Mama?" Little anxiety I guess.
- STILL a mama's boy 100%.
- He is a tease more than ever.
- He answers yes or no questions when asked.
- If I am down close to the ground ever he will come up and lay on my 
back and say "Hi" with an accent on the end almost like a question.
- He is starting to vocalize that he recognizes places.
Like when we go to pick up Daddy from work we pull into 
the parking lot and Co will say "Daddy?".


Almost 17 months.
Learning like crazy.
I absolutely love watching his wheels turn.
He is my bud.

Hey Lis!

I was just looking through your last little halloween party post and saw my cousin Rachel! How do you know eachother? Do you live nearby? Random.

Also, your little fam is completely adorable. Completely. :)

SO cute. I am learning more and more about how SMART little ones are. Primary kids, Brightyn, etc. That's SO cute that Cohen knows when you're picking up Brock. He is so smart! (and his speaking really is impressive for his age...in my opinion)

I love that picture! If gel doesn't work, peanut butter sure does :) I'm so impressed with his learning! So fun to have a little buddy.
