Visiting with Friends

Last weekend we had a nice visit with Giselle, Steve and Aidan.  Cohen loved discovering all of Aidan's toys.

Decorating Valentine's Day Cookies

Cohen and his cousins decorated heart shaped cookies for Valentine's Day....and then got to eat them!

Keeping a Toddler Occupied in the Hospital

I've just gotten around to taking these pictures off my phone from Cohen's first stay in the hospital in January.  It wasn't always easy to keep a one-year-old happy while confined in an 8'x5' space for a week and connected first to the oxygen and later to the IV.  We brought some of Cohen's toys from home, plus books and his colouring books and markers.  But, there was a lot of TV watching (thankfully they had a TV with the Treehouse channel) and playing games on the ipad (thank God for technology!).  These are activities that Cohen doesn't get to do much of at home, so he was happy to do them much of the time.

Here's our little trooper keeping occupied:

Watching TV up close

Watching TV from afar

Oh, here's a great way to keep busy for 15 minutes....go through Mommy's purse and empty all the contents, then go through the wallet and do the same!

Reading with Mommy

One of Cohen's favorite activities these days is reading books.  Daddy managed to capture a few pics of Mommy and Cohen reading the other day.

Quiet Time with Uncle Kyle

Some quiet time during a visit from Uncle Kyle while Cohen was still recovering from the pneumonia.

Rockin' Together

Daddy rocking with Molly

Cohen got jealous and wanted a turn too!

Then Cohen and Molly rocked together!

Duplo Trains

Cohen loves his Duplo train set and Daddy loves setting up the track in a different way every few days.
