Trouble...with a Capital "T"

Believe it or not, but our last few weeks have been crazy with Cohen. In a matter of days he went from diving to crawling and he is TROUBLE! I can't even believe the terror he causes now. Cohen can be the sweetest boy, but it is like he has used the last nine months to find all the places he can destroy. A broken clock, slobbered on mirror, a goose egg and a 911 call are just some of the things to come with him. You can't leave him alone a minute or you will find him terrorizing some part of the house. He has recently learned to stand up in his crib. Needless to say, his crib is now lowered to the bottom. I wonder how long until he figures out how to break out? Hopefully not soon or we can add broken arm to his list of things to come. Besides taking over my clean house, he also won't get dressed. Cohen is at a very uncooperative age right now. It is not uncommon to find him naked, crawling where ever he pleases. His favorite place to play is on my wood floor where he can bang any object as hard as he can. I think we know who runs this household and it isn't the people that clean it!

Lately, the brightest parts to my week are Tuesdays which has turned into Lost night. We started watching Lost at our house with some family members and three of us has now grown to 8 and counting. It is seriously so much fun to watch Lost with others. We play with Cohen and Nolan, eat dinner, put babies to bed, and enjoy a night of speculation over the latest Lost events. I am sad that this is the last season and we only have a few months to enjoy our parties.

This week my school had Dad's and Doughnuts. Our principal asked the teachers to come up and help out at the event. I decided to take Cohen to his first Dad's and Doughnuts, without his Dad, and supervise the students. It is a fun event where the Dad's read with their kids for the first 30 minutes and then spend the last part enjoying a doughnut with them. Cohen was able to hang out with my friend Tracy's little boy Riley and read his favorite book Baby Faces. Tracy and I joke how next year these two are going to be trouble together. I have a hard time seeing sweet little Riley getting into trouble, but I guess that is what I thought about Cohen when he was a baby. Little did I know.

My favorite time of year has arrived! It is time to put away my winter gear and get into my capris! I love the spring and watching baseball/softball games. Today was the SF Dons Baseball teams opening game. Cohen hasn't been to a Dons game since he was four days old so I thought it was time to take him! He loved being outside and watching everyone around him. Grandma Pat helped him stand up and I can't believe how big he looks. Pretty soon he is going to be walking instead of crawling. My baby Cohen is turning into a little boy. Don't you just love the cute SF Baseball jacket he has on? Too bad the SF hat he has is way too big to wear.

I know Cohey is trouble, but I love my little guy. I look at his wild and crazy pictures and laugh every time. My favorite thing Cohen does right now happens every morning. I wake up to "Mom...Mom...Mom" or "Dad...Dad...Dad." He repeats this until one of us comes and gets him. I can't help, but smile every morning he does this even when I really, really want to sleep in!
