Ten Months!

Somehow another month has zoomed by and Cohen is now 10 months old.  He's getting busier every day and Mommy and Daddy are exhausted by the time bed time rolls around each night.  Cohen is becoming more toddler and less baby every day and it is so much fun to watch him discover the world around him.

Cohen is not quite mobile, but he will crawl up to two feet using either the army-man crawl or the traditional crawl, but he seems to not realize he can go further using either of those methods.  He's getting sturdier walking behind his walker and no longer needs help for stability (but still needs help with steering).

Cohen talks constantly (as he always has) and is coming out with new sounds all the time.  His favorite, of course, is still "gee".  He says "dada" all the time, but doesn't seem to associate it with Mike yet.  Although I work with him on "mama" every day, he still can't say the "m" sound :(

This month we started sleep training and Cohen is now consistently sleeping in his own bed in his own room (finally!) and goes down in the evening fairly easily for Mommy.  We now have to work on bedtime with Daddy and getting him to sleep through the night (he still wakes frequently and needs Mommy to get him back to sleep).

Cohen continues to bring us so much joy and we love every minute with our little guy!

Playing in the Grass

We've been enjoying the beautiful weather and have spent lots of time outside.

Nine Month Check-up

Cohen had his 9 month check-up today.  He has grown from 66 cm to 72 cm, and he's back to the 50th percentile for height (up from 25th at 6 months).  He currently weighs 18 lbs exactly, only a half pound increase since his 6 month check-up and he's down from the 50th percentile to the 15th.  I was expecting the decrease in weight percentile because he's such an active kid, but still doesn't eat a lot of solids compared with his peers.

Muffels Cousins






Brenda added little Peter who couldn't make the trip from Maryland for our Easter celebration (he was lucky enough to have Oma and Opa all to himself on Easter weekend).
