coming to get daddy
Originally uploaded by pants78

You started speed crawling and pulling yourself up on things with ease. You weigh 21 pounds and while you were at the doctor you had blood drawn to check for iron among other things. You didn't even flinch when the nurse stuck you...wanted to show her how tough you are. You are tough taking multiple spills and hitting your head so often I worry. You get upset now when ever mom or I leave you. You cough for attention and will mimic other people when they cough. You give us a work out just trying to keep up with you these days but it's tons of fun. I know it will be harder when you start walking but I can't wait. When you wake up you sit straight up and then fall back over...it's adorable. You're turning into a little man.

You've grown so much in 3 months as well as learned so many new tricks. You can roll and scoot to any destination to find anything that you can fit in your mouth. You can pull yourself up to standing on your toys. You've gotten so loud! When you're tired you let the whole neighborhood know about it. You eat and eat and eat...mom makes you organic food in the food processor and you just gobble it up. You like to clap your hands to music or when ever you feel like being cute. You hold your hands up to us when you want to be picked up. You love taking baths!

One of our favorite games is to chase you while one of us runs holding you. You giggle until we catch you and then you just scream and laugh. It makes me melt.

A moment ago you woke up from your sleep whimpering so I went in and scooped you up in my arms. I rocked you against me and you fell right back to sleep. You're growing up so fast that I just wanted to look at you while you slept in my arms. One day you'll be to big or to grown up to let me hold you. I'll miss it but I'll always remember and always want to be there to make sure you sleep safe. Good night sweet boy.

I'm 8 months old today!!!

You have discovered your feet and constantly pull your socks off to try and get your toes in your mouth. You've also become more vocal especially when you're tired and you growl yourself to sleep. You've started eating apple sauce, butternut squash, and bananas. You can almost sit up on your own but gradually fall over towards your toes. You're getting big and already growing out of your 6 months clothes. Can't wait to hear your first word.

We took you for your 4 month appointment with the doctor on Friday March 1st. You got a good report and you weigh 14lbs 8ounces and are 24 1/2 inches. Bad news is you needed your second round of immunizations. You screamed but you seemed to handle things better this time around but the next day you had a fever of 102...so we took you back in to see the doc. Turns out you were just having a normal reaction to the immunization... You've been moody lately because it looks like your teeth are trying to come out but you've also been tons of fun. At least you don't have to see the doctor again for another 2 months.

At 3 months 3 weeks Coen is well into his first job...modeling onesies for threadless.com. Not sure how long he can keep it up with how fast he's growing.

11 weeks

You've been smiling and talking a lot more these days and you've outgrown a lot of your newborn clothes. You had a Doctors appointment on Jan 2nd and your stats were: 9lbs 6ounces + 23 inches. You also got your first vaccine shots and that wasn't fun at all...you screamed like crazy and I almost cried. You were sick for a few days after your shots but you bounced back with lots of smiles!

Yesterday you rolled over for the first time!

You're getting so big it's incredible. You're holding your head up, making more noises, and blowing spit bubbles. Can't wait to see all the things you do this month.
