Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot

With temperatures reaching the 100s this week, we have been doing anything to try to stay cool. Cohen's latest discovery is the garden hose. He loves helping David water the plants...and spray himself down with water.

Cohen lovin' on his "Stanley" after a hose session.

Cohen has been working on some new teeth this week, so grits and eggs have been a standard.

Cohen saying he's 1 year old

Although rain has been sparse, I bought Cohen the cutest pair of galoshes. He adores them and insists on marching around the house in them.

The Seminoles suffered the most heart-breaking loss this week at the College World Series. Here is Cohen asking Mike Martin, "What happened?"

Stinka goofing off in my new hat.

Our little adventurer has found a new indoor activity. He climbs on the couch, throws all the pillows and cushions on the floor, then runs and jumps into the pile. This could go on all day if I allowed it. He really is fearless as he runs, jumps, and at times, dives head first off the couch.

It can be scary watching him at times, but just look how happy he is!

"It's okay, Mom...I'm fine."

David was at Uncle Mike's bachelor party in Myrtle Beach this weekend. Cohen had a blast with "the girls" - hanging out with his Aunt Laura and Mom. On Friday, we went to the pool in the morning and the mall in the afternoon/evening. We bought Cohen his first pair of Crocks. He only stayed in his stroller for five minutes, and spent the rest of the time pushing it all over the mall. He downed a six-pack of nuggets at his favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-A for dinner. Saturday morning, Liz came over to babysit and took Cohen to ImaginOn. That afternoon, Cohen and I went to the members-only event at Discovery Place to check out the new World Alive exhibit. It was so neat watching Cohen's reaction to the rainforest habitat and fish aquariums. Cohen and I went back to the pool Sunday morning until David arrived safely home in the afternoon. It was a fun-filled weekend, and I am exhausted!
