To Infinity and Beyond...

We finally got Cohen his new bed last Sunday. Bed time is often a struggle because he just doesn't want to go to bed. I really didn't know that this started so early...he starts asking for things when we are putting him to bed..milk, cookie, elephant, horse, truck, any other toy, etc. Nice try kiddo. He does always go to bed with a random toy. Tonight it was a toy horse and his dump truck. Anyway, he seems to be doing pretty well in his bed so far!

Right after we got his bed put together....

Comforter on...Cohen was so excited and crazy!

haha!

Finally asleep on the first night in the bed.

So the first morning (at like 5am!) he woke up whimpering "Mommy" so I ran in there. I was so nervous that he would be looking for us and not be able to find us. Anyway, he wasn't in his bed. Wasn't on the floor in front of his bed...so I ran into the hallway to look for him when I heard "mommy" come from his room. I ran in there to find him on the other side of his bed on the floor. :) The next morning he got up at like 4 am and I heard him crying a bit in his room so I was walking out of our room just in time to see him running down the hallway dragging his blankie. :) I then just threw him in our bed with his so I could go back to sleep. Probably not the best idea, but I was tired! One morning he woke up at 2am and wanted some milk. So I take him to the fridge and hand him his milk cup. Then he says, "grapes?" What, no! It's 2am you are not having grapes! haha. "truck?" "play?" haha. He went right back to sleep shortly after. This morning it is 7:15 and  he is still sleeping in his bed. :)

Here are a couple pictures of him playing with all the new animals I bought him. Don't let me go to toys-r-us by myself!

He lined them all up by himself

And just a couple more pictures of my little guy.

Troublemaker....:)

21 Months

Another month closer to my baby turning 2! Yikes!

Cohen has done well with the transition to our new place. We walked in the other afternoon and he yelled, "home!" That was refreshing. I'm glad that he doesn't hate the place! He tumbled down a few stairs and now refuses to climb up or go down by himself, which I'm ok with because they made me a bit nervous. Until we get settled and unpacked he sleeps in our room. We are going to wait until we get his toddler bed until we transition him to his room. Hoping that goes well! :)

Cohen is just talking up a storm lately. He will repeat nearly everything we say and says a lot on his own.

My favorite thing that he does lately is when we ask him if he wants something and he'll say, "no (whatever the item)" 

For example, I will ask him, "Do you want applesauce?"

He will say, "No applesauce."

He will do it all the time! He always has to repeat the item. The other day we were in the car and I started singing Row, Row Row Your Boat and Cohen said, "no row row!"

Cohen will say, "carry you, Mommy" when he wants to be carried :)

 Cohen loves animals... especially elephants, monkeys, giraffes, tigers, birds, ducks. 

He loves trucks, cars, trains, airplanes and buses. He especially likes playing with his mail truck still!

His favorite movies right now are Lion King and Dumbo. 

He likes watching Mickey Mouse, Little Einsteins, Chuggington, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Gaspard and Lisa and lastly, much to Mom and Dad's dismay he aways loves watching Thomas and friends.

He will stay up until we put him to bed. He hardly slept at all today and is still going strong at 9:30pm, even though his normal bedtime is 8-8:30.

Cohen loves running, playing at the park and climbing stairs

Cohen is a really good at listening and doesn't give us too much trouble. He is a bit impatient at times...not sure where he gets that from ;)

I don't have a ton of recent pictures of Cohen that don't go with other posts. So here are just a few for now. 

 We went to our old place yesterday to gather some remaining items. They just opened up a Frozen Yogurt place across the street called, Sweet Frog. It's probably best that we don't leave there anymore! Mmmm.....

 Cohen loves his cherries! :)

 Cohen loves playing with these magnetic shapes that his Great Aunt Brigitte got him. 

 I don't really have any recent videos either, but here are a couple. Nothing too exciting. Just talking about Randall from Monsters, Inc.....

And just a video of him playing last night

Love,

Playing at the park

We are for the most part moved into our new place! We are still busy unpacking and getting everything situated, but last Sunday Cohen and I ventured to the park by our new place. It is in the apartment complex next door, and it is perfect for Cohen! He can climb up the stairs and has his choice of 4 slides to go down. He loves it! I love that I don't have to help him climb up get to the slide (like at our old place). I love the little wave that he gives me. My sweet little boy is getting so big.

And yes, he absolutely did not want to leave the park! :)

Love,

Cohen and Caysen

We're in Minnesota right now! We are very busy, which leaves very little time for blogging, but I wanted to share a quick video. Cohen loved hanging out with his cousin, Caysen. They are just 6 months apart and hadn't seen each other since Christmas. They were hilarious together! Here is a quick video of Uncle Dougie being silly with them! :)

Love, Katie
