Happenings

With two boys, there is never a dull moment in our house. These guys keep me busy non-stop. This week, we've already had some new experiences. Henry moved out of his infant carrier into a big boy car seat! Our 22-pounder was packed into that carrier like a sardine, so I decided it was time to make the move. He seems to like it so far!

Our Stinka Man is constantly keeping us on our toes these days. He'll be two-and-a-half next month, and he is definitely in that twos stage parents warn you about (we'll just leave it at that). Monday afternoon, I heard "Mommy! MOMMY!" come from Cohen's bedroom (as he was supposed to be napping). The next thing I heard was the doorknob turning...turning and opening. That little Stinka climbed out of his crib! I dealt with the situation as best as I could. He has only made one other attempt to climb out, but I caught it on the video monitor before it could happen. I'm not ready for him to be in a bed yet!

Even though Cohen has moments of frustration or tests his boundaries throughout the day, he still has the sweetest personality. One thing that I love is that he now says his prayers all by himself at night. He has everything memorized - the prayer, every single grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, dog...and he CANNOT finish the prayer without thanking God "for fixing Henry's heart. Amen." So sweet. When he reads books on his own, he always says, "Amen," as he closes them. Too cute.

He is still obsessed with "Taaget." He spotted these blue sunglasses and HAD to try them on.

Hendog's favorite game is peek-a-boo. He pulls blankets or shirts over his face and immediately starts kicking and squealing while we say, "Where's Henry?" He cracks up with the biggest smile on his face and pulls the shirt down when we say, "Peek-a-boo!"

Henry is getting closer to crawling. He rocks back and forth on his hands and knees all the time.

He still loves chillin' in the hammock.

Someone got a haircut. He looks like such a big boy.
