Photo Shoot!

Today Cohen turned 6 months! I can't believe it!!! So we did a photo shoot in our living room today. What a flippin cutie! I love this little boy so much. Who actually couldn't?! This morning my friend, Brittany and I took an infant massage class up at Willamette Falls. It was really fun! We learned a ton of massages to do on our babies. Cohen fell asleep half way through it! :)








So a little update... He's sleeping about 10 hours straight. It used to be 12, but for about a week and half now he's been waking up at 5 or 6 for a feeding. weird. I'm not really sure what threw him off. He is sooo happy all the time! Baxter is his new favorite thing, so is his stuffed hippo. He's throwing up significantly less! He brings his father and I more joy than we could have ever imagined. Every day there's something new, and even more reasons for my heart to melt!
I LOVE YOU COHEN THOMAS!!!!!!

Our new addition to the family!

OUR NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! Jeff and I got a new car last friday! Oh my gosh we love it so much. I have NEVER had a new car before. It's a brand new 2008 Toyota Highlander. It only had 180 miles on it! This is just such a blessing, coming from two cars that were giving us problems. Wooo Hoooo!!!

A little bit of off-roading and lots of giggling!

So this afternoon after Cohen's nap, I decided to go for a walk. It was SUCH a beautiful day out. Not a cloud in the sky. So I thought we could walk to the post office, since I needed to mail my nephew's birthday presents. So I get Cohen bundled up in a sweatshirt and his beanie, and I get a sweatshirt on, and we head out the door. We walk over to get the mail, and I'm thinking that it's a lot colder than I thought it was. But it's okay... we don't have too far to go. I've never walked to the Post office before, so I realize that it's not really easy to walk there with a stroller! We end up on the side of the highway, getting blown all around from the wind. I finally get to the Post office, and think, "I would give anything to have someone come get us and take us home!!!" It's honestly maybe a 1/4 of a mile! But it was soooo cold! And I didn't want to walk on the highway again! We, *I* probably looked soooo silly! So I saw a trail, and decided that it would be quicker to cut through. this was definantly not a trail for a stoller (it wasn't even paved)!! So here we come truckin along... And then we go the back way into our complex, and have to go down this steep three feet drop almost! ha ha... if Jeff knew what I had done, wow! Well now I know that stroller can take ANYTHING!!!

****A little side note to my nephews, Garrett and Jefferson.....
your packages were TRULY mailed with love!!****

Here he is in the bath tub! He LOVES his bath time!


Okay, this video was taken with my phone tonight. Usually after I get him out of the tub, he fusses like crazy, until I get his pjs on him. But I was suctioning his nose, and came across this flippin cute act!


This video was taken after our walk today. These two videos are the first times I've EVER been able to capture his giggle! I'm soooo happy!
