New Additions

I know when most of you read the title to this post, you thought "Is Heather pregnant?" and the answer is no. We do have some exciting news though. Cohen is going to have another little boy cousin in February. My sister Jamie is having a little boy in a few weeks and then we just found out Tyler's sister Nicole is having a baby boy in February. We are so excited for all these little boys. Cohen is so lucky to grow up with cousins his age on both sides of the family.

These are some pictures of my cute boys! I told Tyler with all these new babies I can't wait until we have a little girl to add to our family. I was informed that I can't be baby hungry yet. I guess I will just enjoy all the new babies coming into our family.

One Handsome Boy

When we got home from church, I had to take some pictures of our handsome little boy. Cohen looked so cute in his outfit. Both Tyler and I thought he looked like a little golfer.

Four Months and Thumb Sucking

As my students were doing calendar yesterday, I realized Cohen is four months. I can't believe how much he has changed in such a short period of time. At his two month appointment, his pediatrician said by four months he would be reaching certain milestones such as rolling over and standing up with support, and I thought to myself Cohen isn't even close to doing those things now. Then before I know it, he just does it. My little brother comes home from his mission in a few weeks and I am so excited to see the things Cohen will be doing by then. Tyler missed the newborn stage, but I'm sure he will enjoy playing with him now. Cohen has the funnest little personality and you can't help but laugh with him. We have been so happy with all the new things Cohen has learned to do except for sucking on his thumb. He has always enjoyed putting his hands or two fingers in his month, but about a week ago, he found his thumb and loves it! Tyler threatens him that he is going to put hot sauce on it if he doesn't stop it! Hopefully, we can break Cohen of this new habit of his.

Doesn't this just make you smile?

Hats, Hats and More Hats

This last week turned out to be hat week for Cohen. As I looked back through pictures, I noticed several where he was wearing hats. Up until this week, Cohen didn't have many pictures with hats because only one fits him. Believe it or not, his head is the smallest part of his body! Tyler found this cute hat at Gap that is adjustable, but even with putting it on the smallest size, it is still big on him!

Doesn't he look so cute in a hat?

Watch Me Roll

We are so proud of Cohen. Last night, he rolled over for the first time. The camera work on my part wasn't the best, but at least it's on video!

I haven't had time to post some pictures of him lately so I will add these as well.

Three Months and Back to School

Cohen is three months now. I can't believe how fast the summer went by. At this stage, Cohen can hold up his head pretty well, loves to stand with support, tries to scoot out of his little bather, sucks on his animals, smiles, laughs, and loves to talk. He is so much fun! Tyler and I love to play with him when we get home from work.

Cohen playing in the bath! We changed bath time to right before he goes to bed. He loves it!!!

Our happy baby boy! I can't believe how old he looks in this outfit.

I am sad to say I am back to school. It is so hard to leave Cohen every morning. He is so dang cute at that time of day, but I love my job and I enjoy teaching too much. My students are adorable, but they are so young. I am used to third graders and these second graders seem extremely little. My first week of school went well. I have a few challenging students, but I am used to that. I can't believe how much harder teaching is with a baby. I have to leave school at 3:15 and I get nothing done. I have tried to bring stuff home to work on, but I don't do it. I will have to spend one night a week up at school in order to stay planned.

These are some pictures of my classroom. It has taken me all summer to get ready for this new adventure in second grade. I decided to do a jungle theme this time around instead of my sports theme.

The Cutest Boy Ever

Lately Cohen has wanted me to hold him and walk around the house so he can see everything. As you can imagine, this isn't the most convenient thing for me. I get nothing done when I am holding him all the time. I have found that I love his highchair because it solves this problem. I can put him in it while I am cooking or cleaning and he will watch what I am doing. Tonight I let him play in it while I was making dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot done. Cohen was way too much fun to watch. At first, he didn't really touch his toys, but then he started exploring them. I made Tyler come in the room and watch him because I have never seen him interact so much with his toys before. He tried to play with his monkey, but the monkey ended up covering his entire face and he couldn't get it off. Cohen is seriously the cutest little boy. I am dying that I have to go back to school in four days. I hate to think of all the things I am going to miss him do.

Doesn't he look so big now?
