Let me just preface this by saying that we are VERY casually potty training.  Cohen did go a few drops in the potty one time and so when he did actually do something we went through the whole routine of pouring the contents into the toilet, flushing, etc.  It’s so cute to hear him say potty.  He also likes it when I sing, “pee, pee in the potty…pee, pee in the potty…”  So, Aunt Melissa came over the other day and I was wanting him to tell her about it…

Me:  Cohen, tell Aunt Melissa what we do in the potty.

Cohen:  DUMP!!

Of course, he was refering to dumping the contents of the potty into the toilet, but it was hilarious!!

I’m so thankful to have such a wonderful husband who is also an amazing father.  He adores Cohen and Cohen adores him.  It is so great to see them play and interact together.  To honor Christian this year we did a couple of things.  He got this as an early Father’s Day gift on Thursday…

The buns are cupcakes, the patty is a brownie and the fries are sugar cookies.  I wish I could take credit for coming up with this, but I’m afraid I can’t.  The idea came from Bakerella and if you haven’t seen her blog before you should definitely check it out.  It’s amazing.

Then this morning we gave him a couple of cards and these pictures in a frame.

Happy Father’s Day, Christian!  I love you!

As you’ll see, I haven’t been posting often enough cause I have lots of pictures to share!  My sweet boy is just that…a little boy.  He is so fun and I’ve been amazed lately at how much more he is beginning to talk. He’s starting to put words together:  ”baseball,” “mommy’s shoes,” “daddy work,” “daddy’s office.”  I was totally taken off guard yesterday morning when we sat down to eat some pancakes for breakfast and he said “mommy share dip-dip.”  (Dip-dip is how he refers to syurp, ketchup, or pretty much anything else you can dip your food into.)  It was too funny.  He loves to watch baseball and he’ll swing his plastic bat and try to hit the ball on the floor.

Cohen is also obsessed…and I do literally mean OBSESSED…with pretty much anything that has a motor and runs…mainly mixers, vacuum cleaners, our shredder, fans and most recently the lawn mower.  He LOVES it when Christian (or anyone in our neighborhood for that matter) mows the lawn.  Here he is helping daddy mow the grass…

He loves it so much that I decided to get him his own mower.  He has played with it constantly…

The other day he kept trying to tell us something and we couldn’t really make out what he was saying.  In a little while he came back with this book pointing at these gloves…

…and then he would say mower.  We finally figured out that he was wanting to mow with his gloves on just like daddy!  So, I pulled out his winter mittens and off he went…

Living his dream here…helping daddy mow the lawn…

I’ve been a blog slacker this past week…sorry grandparents!!  We’ve been having lots of fun and enjoying the awesome Texas weather.  Uncle Alex came to visit last week.  It was so cute how Cohen would say his name…it wasn’t just Alex, it was Aaaaaaalex.  VERY drawn out “A.”  It was great to have him here visiting.

We also took Cohen to his first ever Ranger game.  I bought him a Ranger shirt just for this occasion, but we made a spur of the moment decision to go while we were already out so the shirt didn’t make it.  Guess we’ll have to go back again soon!  Cohen had a great time…and so did we…baseball games are just fun!  And don’t forget the yummy food you get to eat while you’re there too!
