Lots and Lots of Cousins

These are from the Ternoway family Christmas celebration on Nov. 27.

Little cousins!  From left: Joey, Belle, Riley, Tommy, Sarah, Ellery, Nathaniel, Maddie, Caitlin, Lauren and Cohen (missing are Hope and Mackenzie).  Our family has been blessed with five healthy babies this year....next year's celebration will be pretty hectic with those five running around with the older kids :)

And big cousins!  From top: Kim, Greg, Tina, Erin, Alison, Dan, Meghan, Kristy, Lindsay, Matt and Kara (missing Jamie)

And of course, the latest photo of Nana & Gigi's grandkids

Jolly Jumpin'

Cohen has just started using the Jolly Jumper...he seems to like it, but is still figuring it out.  We're loving watching him learn how to use it!

Five Months Old!

Today Cohen is five months old.  I woke up this morning thinking: how is it possible that 5 months have already gone by?  This past month has been a busy one for us filled with lots of family events.  Cohen is definitely recognizing many people in his family when he sees them and has even started reacting to some of their photos.  He really enjoys other babies at the mommy & baby groups we go to as well as his cousins and is interacting with them more and more.  Cohen loves playing with toys and is starting to show preferences to certain ones, Sophie the giraffe is a definite favorite.  He continues to be a terrible sleeper and over this month has gone from waking every three hours in the night to waking every one to two hours :(  But, despite the lack of sleep, he's a very happy baby and is overly generous with smiles for anyone who looks his way.

Here are his five month photos:

Sucking and chewing on his hands is still a favorite activity:

Loved by the Ladies

Cohen is loved by the ladies wherever he goes.  Here are his cousins Lauren, Caitlin and Belle trying to make him laugh.

Four Month Stats

Yesterday Cohen had his 4 month doctor's check-up.  He now weighs 15 lbs 6 oz and he remains in the 50th percentile.  His height is 63 cm, so he's gained significantly since his 2 month appointment.  He's now in the 50th percentile for height, up from 25th.

Sweet Baby Boy
