Growing Up

Cohen:
Now has two teeth... well he has had them for a few weeks, but they are way cute!

Has started eating solids.  We started with banana oatmeal and have now moved up in the world with carrots, bananas and mixtures of them all.

Rolls over both ways (also starting a few weeks ago) and he thinks he is so special because he can... it affects everything.  I lay him on his mat for tummy time and after 5 minutes he is 5 feet away from all his toys.  I lay him on his back or tummy for nap time and he turns on his side.  His diaper changes now take much more time and effort because he is always rolling this way and that.

Is quite the talker.  In just the past few days he has found out all the noises he can make and makes them all the time.

Is still all smiles!

Arlo:
Has decided that speaking with just a few words is no longer acceptable.  Now, he adds in a WHOLE bunch of mumbling in with those few words to tell you what he wants.  It makes it even harder to understand him, but he wants to talk like the grown ups and it is so funny!

Got shape and color cards at the grocery store the other day and has to do them every day and because he loves them he now knows all his shapes and colors. He loves saying triangle  as ri-a-gl-gl-gl and rectangle as ec-a-gl-gl-gl-gl  and circle as cir-gl-gl-gl-gl.

Saw a little girl do a somersault the other day at Jumpstreet and ever since he has been working on it and I am proud to say... he still cannot do it, but he is working so hard and when he does finally get it, I'll get it on video and share it.

Got his first bunch of big boy underwear.  He is still not fully potty trained.  He will go when you ask him to go, but if you forget to ask him, he does not yet tell you, or when he does tell you it is a little to late.  But he has also learned that if he wears diapers he can get away with going to the bathroom in his pants, so he likes to choose when he will wear his big boy underwear.

Is working on sharing, listening and not saying no to mommy.

Has an earlier bed time to cut down on nighttime tantrums and now wakes up way to early.

Is a SPONGE and soaks up everything, it is so fun to watch his little mind always working!

And to end... a few pictures of my boys.  It is funny how much Cohen already LOVES Arlo and vise versa.
