oh yeah I just remembered someting........

Today, right before bed I was picking up all the toys as I usually do each night. Tonight, I did it before I tucked Cohen in and asked him to pick up the cars he had on the carpet in the living room and put them in his car bucket. As I walked off I heard him whisper to himself, "that's all I do is pick things up. It seems like I do it all the time-picking up, picking up." He picks the cars up, puts them in the bucket, and goes back to being a cowboy swinging his lasso (headphones). I didn't tell him I heard, but I chuckled to myself!!

I thought it was sooooo funny! I wonder if he heard me say that???

I have CABIN. FEVER.

So Jeremy has been working open to close the last 2 days because they have a big visit coming. I have begun to get cabin fever and was planning a big day out tomorrow with the boys...until I watched the news and found out it will be storming tomorrow. UUGGHH! I love the breaks from school, but get bored when I have nothing to do. Jeremy will be off soon and we have lots of fun things planned so stay tuned for pictures!!

Anyway...out of pure boredom, I decided to interview Cohen on some of his favorites. I should have videoed him. It was really funny. A friend of mine does this on each child's birthday and I think I will start that tradition this year. Here are Cohen's answers from today.

Playing with my brother

G. A. P.

Cohen woke me up this morning because he had wet the bed. He never does that so it took me by surprise at first. He said "I am so sorry mommy. I didn't mean to." I told him it was ok and went to change his clothes and sheets. His sheets were not wet and his pants were only a little. I told him he did not wet that much. He said, "I was dreaming I was on the toilet and tee teed. I felt my pants get all warm and woke up." He then said, "I said uh oh, either I wet my pants or I am sweating." I thought that was funny--dreaming he was on the toilet!!!!

Anyway... I told him to take his pajamas off and put on some new underwear and bottoms. He picked some out and said "hey, these are from G. A. P." I said "yea, that spells GAP." He said "oh yeah I remember that store. They have everything. We went there and they have everything you ever wanted....everything I ever dreamed of."

So I will keep this "everything I ever dreamed of" statement in mind next time I need a gift for him. I will definitely get him something from G. A. P!!!!!

8 months old!!

Evan is 8 months old today and my how time has flown. He is growing and changing so fast. He is the best baby I have ever met. He is so laid back and happy. He goes to sleep at the drop of a dime. He doesn't care if you rock him or lay him down or in the car seat or where ever, he goes right to sleep when you tell him night night. His favorite place to nap is still on mommy and daddy's bed. We put his warm fleece blanket down and give him Pooh and he goes right to sleep. He does still like to have a fleece blanket to sleep on in his crib.

He is jabbering up a storm. He just talks and talks. Of course, we have no idea what he is saying, but we just talk back to him. He laughs all the time and keeps us laughing too. He really has a sense of humor--if you can tell that at 8 months!! He will do some thing and look to see if you are laughing. He will ignore you when you call his name and look at us out of the corner of his eye like "I hear you, but I'm not looking."

He has wild hair. After rubbing his head to fall asleep it is a wild mess. It makes me laugh each time I look at his hair. It is long and hanging over his ears. I think he will need a hair cut before too long!!!

His favorite toy right now is his little basketball goal. He loves to make a slam dunk and make the crowd cheer. He also likes bath time. He LOVES to splash and have Cohen pour water on him. He giggles every time. I am soaked when we get done, because of all the splashing!!!!
He still loves to eat. He is beginning to work on chewing and loves the little puff thingys by Gerber. He LOVES LOVES LOVES his bottle. It might be hard to take that away when the time comes. He WILL NOT take a sippy cup at all. He spits at it when we try to give it to him.

He is the other love of our life.....who know you could love kids this much!!!!

Baby Day #3

Doctor said every thing sounded great. We heard a nice strong heartbeat at 162 BPM which he said was great. He was going to do an ultrasound just for fun, but the machine was in use by lots of mama's getting their "real" ultrasound so we have to wait. He said he will do one on March 6th which is our next appointment. It was exciting to hear the baby's heartbeat and made it all seem more "real." We'll keep you posted!

Cohen is fine. I gave him Tylenol and lots of cold water. He woke up and was just fine. I think maybe he was sitting under the lamp watching his movie and got too hot. Oh well, I guess a little Tylenol for no reason never hurt anyone!!

We go to the doctor tomorrow to hopefully hear and possibly see our new little one. We are very excited. I am nervous for some reason. We heard and saw both Cohen's and Evan's heart beat by 7 weeks so it is weird to wait until 12 weeks. I am sure everything is fine, but I get nervous that first time for some reason.

We will keep you posted!

P.S. Pray for not too much weight gain. I have been eating like crazy!! I can't stop eating candy and sweets and I don't even really like sweets. My teeth hurt I have eaten so much tonight!
