Happy Four Months Cohen!




Cohen turns 4 months today and has been inducted into the Hill Family Grandchild Hall of Fame! Thereby earning his song.

Cohen's dancing song;
En Vogue Featuring Salt n Pepper
"Whatta Man"

(If anyone is wondering, Jaya's song is "Mexican Hat Dance" and she is still the best dancer. Devin's is of course "You Can Dance of You Want To".)




I guess the video isn't that great but they can't all be winners now can they?

Of course I chose the short version because the whole song is really long and not to mention dirty, dirty. So, I took the poop out of the Cinnamon Roll and ate the rest. Anybody catch the John Bytheway reference?





Cohen has progressed in the last four months from being fed a bottle to holding it on his own.



(Computer savvy people would edit out my hand here and Jaya's stinky feet so the previous statement would be more believable. But embellishing is part of parenting isn't it, everybody thinks their kids are the best. At least I can admit Jaya's feet stink.)



He grabbed it today and it was just the cutest thing ever. Since I don't feed him bottles often, I was sure this was a major milestone that needed documentation.




He likes to lounge in Jaya's bed.





We are convinced he's going to be an Olympic swimmer. He looks so natural in the water. Just not the sun. Anybody see that movie Powder?




He has even been invited to one of Jaya's tea parties. Ok, so he wasn't invited and she ran away upset as soon as I slid his bouncer over. But at least we enjoyed it. He is a very polite guest and even shared his cake with me while Jaya glared from the couch.



Now days we know Cohen has woken from a nap when we hear the toys on the bouncer or swing rather than his grunts and snorts before he becomes upset that his tummy isn't filled to the brim. He's small, but a Mighty Good Man.





I can't post without a shot of Jaya and all her cuteness! Here she is in the playhouse at Ted and Jean's pools with her adorable pal Mollie. Ironic there are two awesome kiddie pools just outside and they opt for the playhouse. Sometimes I wonder if Jaya is really mine. Then I look at her cute little nose that she pulls off way better than I do, and I am sure.

Labor Day Weekend

No more fun in the sun, Summers over and done.If it gets any colder it'll be nothin' but smolder,
No more fun in the sun.



Back to school
Back to volleyball
The US Open has begun
Proud Cougar Fridays followed by
Disappointed Sundays
And
Knight Football


Honestly, it hasn't been nearly as hard as I had feared. I guess I really needed to get out.
So when life leaves you feeling like a discarded Garden Gnome this winter, just remember the days of summer and know they will be back before you know it.
