Coen's Archive #1

He has started saying everything we say, so his vocabulary is growing like crazy. He especially like socks & crocks. He's got almost all his body parts down. He forgets his shoulders, but I think that's on purpose so I'll tickle him. Unfortunately I think he has a cavity, YIKES. Hopefully he does better at the dentist than Reagan. He loves suckers and has become very attached to his pillow and blanket. He sleeps with one or both over his head. Scares me to death. I go in to check on him and his blanket is wrapped around his head a time or two, but he loves it. He likes to wave bye to people, so all the checkers at the grocery store love us. He's still playing with Reagans doll stroller and her high heels, but hopefully after Christmas that will change.

If you ever need someone to speak goldfish Coen is your man. I'm sure he'll make us millions one day. He can find his teeth and when you ask him what lips are for he gives you a kiss. Today he said very clearly banana instead of manana, plum & wow. He's just started putting both of his hands on his face in kind of an uh oh fashion. I'm not sure where he picked it up, but it's pretty funny. Anything with wheels is a car car and every morning we watch the school buses drive by and he yells car car!

Coen is daily adding to his vocabulary. He now says buppy which is duppy which is sippy cup. He says no, of course, manana & cracker. He say mama & daddy & tries to say Reagan but says ReRe, it makes Reagan really mad that he doesn't say Reagan.

He's working on animal sounds now. I think his first word was Moo. He said it every time we saw cows all the way to Dillon. He also barks, and can do a pretty good meow & cock-a-doodle-doo.

Coen can now find his nose & his belly, he's working on his ears. He can fold his arms, give a high 5 and kisses. He loves to play peek-a-boo, but puts his hands on top of his head. He likes to dance by spinning in circles as fast as he can to get dizzy. He loves cold peas, sausage and noodles. He loves to be outside and immediately grabs the broom, rake, or shovel and drags it around the yard, just like daddy. His favorite things to play with inside are my pots and pans and the baby monitor which he love to drag around by the cord. He also tries to kill himself daily by climbing up on the rocking chair, standing up and trying to surf. He is, though, perhaps the worlds best cuddling baby. What a great boy!
