NANA HAS HER HANDS FULL

COHEN AND SUMMER

BEEN BUSY WITH SOME TEETH...SORRY

Well, its been a while since I have posted. My mom and dad were not getting any sleep...I was busy working on 2 Big Pearly Whites! Thats right 2 of em. Today was so much fun - I went to the park in the Pearl with mommy and daddy. We splashed and played until we were all soaked. Then I crused around the pavers, and the grass.

COHEN WEIGHS IN

For those of you who may not know, I am 6 months old today. I am rolling all across the room - and I push my head down on the floor and scoot the best I can. I am enjoying peaches, pears, sweet potatos, squash, bananas, frozen bananas, teething bisquits and pear juice. I am not a fan of my soy formula or green beans or peas.

My daddy likes to take me for lots of bike rides, it makes mommy nervous but I think its so fun. Mommy prefers long walks on MLK....not quite as romantic as the beach, but it works for now. She takes me to this wonderful place with nice music and lots of green. She always orders this thing in a cup and it makes her in a good mood....I think I heard her call it Starbucks once. She gets really grumpy when she runs out of time to go there first in the morning.

I now spend my Thursdays with Ashley......she is the love of my live. With brown ringlet curls and beautiful eyes, I just love to play with her all day.

I also got my shots today ....OUCH! The doctor says I am almost 20 pounds and 27 inches. He told me Im in the 90th percentile for my weight and he told mommy good job!

Well, dad has the bike ready to go, Im off for a ride so mommy can get some work done.

forgot the pics

MY NEW HOME

Mommy and Daddy decided their was too much excitement near our house. So they are moving me out to Tigard! Away from the wonderful Portland that I love. I will miss the red and blue lights that used to illuminate my room late at night through the windows. The sirens and loud crashes when people woudl hit the wall across the street from our house. I will have a nice big yard however and much more room to play. My new house is a little out dated but I think Mommy and Daddy can fix it up really nice. Daddy keeps telling mom about all the tools he will need to make the house nicer - but dont worry moms a smart cookie, she sees right through it!

Here are some pictures of our new home, I dont know why daddy didnt take any of the outside but you can get a feel for the inside and the yard.

MY FIRST BITE AND TASTE OF SUNSHINE...

MY FIRST BEACH TRIP

I WENT TO THE BEACH THIS WEEKEND WITH MY MOM AND DAD - AND OUR FRIENDS JAMES AND AMY.....THEY HAVE A PUPPY NAMED HURLEY, HE PLAYS WITH TETLEY BUT TETLEY NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO SHARE. HE GETS KINDA GROWLEY WITH HIM!

I THINK IT WAS 50 / 50 ON WHO I LOOKED LIKE....I WAS SO CONFUSED ONE PERSON TOLD ME I LOOKED JUST LIKE MY DAD AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE TOLD ME I LOOKED LIKE MY MOM. I THINK I LOOK LIKE COHEN, AND IF MOM OR DAD EVEN VAGUELY RESEMBLE ME - THEY SHOULD FEEL LUCKY!

THE DOCTOR SAID NOT TO WORRY CHUBBY BABIES ARE HEALTHY BABIES AND THAT I LOOKED GREAT. I WAS A LITTLE EMBARRESSED - THE DOCTOR WAS ASKING ABOUT MY DEVELOPMENT AND SO OF COURSE SHE HAD TO TELL HIM ABOUT MY PRODIGY ROLLING OVER....I BLUSHED....BUT ITS TRUE IM PRETTY AMAZING FOR A 2 FOOTER.

APPARENTLY MOM & DAD ARE ALL EXCITED BECAUSE I AM SLEEPING LONGER NOW. PERSONALLY I LIKES THE 3:30 SNACK BUT I GUESS THEY PREFER A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. SO WE COMPROMISE THEY HAVE FROM 9-5 TO SLEEP BUT NOT A MOMENT MORE. BY 5 AM I AM ONE HUNGRY BOY - AND THEY BETTER NOT FORGET MY 8 AM CHASER!

ANYWAYS, I ALSO GOT MY SHOTS YESTERDAY .... GRANDMA SAYS I MUST GET MY GOOD SHOT TAKING ABILITY FROM MY DAD....IT THINK SHE WAS IMPLY THAT MY MOMS A WUS....BUT THAT MAKES NO SENSE....IM SURE MY MOM CAN HANDLE SHOTS JUST FINE. I DIDNT REALLY CRY AND I LAUGHED IN BETWEEN SHOTS, BUT .... A COUPLE HOURS LATER I WAS PRETTY CRANKY AND HAD A LITTLE FEVER - BUT TODAY IS A NEW DAY AND AFTER 8 HOURS OF SLEEP I AM READY TO HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY.

BABY SHOWER #3

My great aunt cyndie threw me a shower last weekend. It was so fun, I got passed around like a hot potato.
I got almost 500 diapers and bath stuff and some cute outfits. I also got a Monkey that talks with my aunt cyndies voice .... weird !
My mom had a mimosa - it was so good - I have never napped so good in my life :)
This weekend I get to meet my cousin Summer and my Aunt Amy and Unce Justin. I am so excited they come in to town tomorrow. I have been meeting so many new people. 2 weekends ago I went on a road trip to Seattle. We stayed with Uncle Bill and Linda - it was very cold in North Bend, but I got lots of attention!
I got to meet mom's friends Nicole and Liz. They think Im hot stuff! I had so much fun gazing and cooing at them.
