Tub Time!!!

Cohen is now just about big enough to go in the tub with his brother and sister.

They are VERY excited - I'll be more comfortable once he sits up on his own.

But he's enjoying the bath time without me holding him!

Pumpkins 'n Pears

Pumpkins ... the only vegetable I can get him to eat. And it's because it's masked with pears and cinnamon!!! Oh well .... at least he eats them.

And he enjoys them!!

But it's so exhausting ... :)

Can't miss it now ...

The adorable white tooth shines when he smiles!! The second is on it's way ... and he's struggling with it each day - CANNOT wait till it's in too!

ANOTHER Milestone ...

But this time, not in our house. At the Bithell's. Brady turned one on Saturday! We had great weather for a fabulous celebration. Brady's Nanny (Scott's mom) was even able to come in town from Canada for the big day! Of course, I took WAY too many pics (if you want to see the Shutterfly link, email me and I'll send it to you!) But here are the highlights!!

A week full of milestones for us ...

If we weren't already thinking "wow - our kids are getting big" ... Kennedy woke up yesterday and wanted to have her ears pierced. So ... we packed up and went to the mall!!!

She was SOOOOOO amazingly brave (probably more than her nauseous and teary-eyed mom and dad!!!) When it "clicked" she put her hands up to her ears and said "OWie" ... but that was it!!!

She was SO excited to show them off. And she reminds me to clean them about every 2 hours and she makes sure she turns them herself. Let's see if the excitement lasts for 6 weeks!

I'm sad ...

There's no other way to describe it. My baby has his first tooth ... and as exciting as that is ... MY BABY HAS TEETH!!! It's bittersweet ... And to make matters worse, my first baby thinks he's 16 yrs old. Watching him ride his "two-wheelered bike" down the driveway with the sweetest grin on his face just melts my heart. I love them to pieces.

So - to cheer myself up, I just booked a trip for Austin and I (happy anniversary to us!) to go see Jimmy Buffett. In October, we'll be going to San Diego with Kim and Jeff from California and a bunch of their awesome friends. Sure, it'll be a whirlwind trip - leaving Thursday bright and early for a concert that is Thursday night, partying in San Diego on Friday and leaving at the crack of dawn on Saturday. But hey - I've got 3 kids to come home to by dinner time on Saturday(and yes, the thought of leaving them is already stressing me out!)

Mom and Dad aren't the only ones that are proud ...

Of course, before he even had his clothes on today - Cameron asked if we could go outside to ride his "two-wheelered bike". I bribed him into eating 1/2 of a cinnamon roll, then we were off. As he was walking his bike down the driveway, he says "I'm so proud of myself". I told him that I was glad because there were a lot of people that were VERY proud of him!

We were outside waiting for two friends from his baseball team who were coming over (with their 3 yr old sisters too - YAY for KENNEDY) - and I had emailed their moms last night to ask them to bring their "two-wheelered bikes" too! My gosh, you should've seen the kids zooming up and down the driveway. Cameron QUICKLY learned how to start himself - no more help from mom necessary. And he starts half way up our STEEP driveway, goes all the way down the drive and turns around and comes back. I don't think he would've done the driveway on his own if it weren't for his brave friends!

I have a feeling that we're going to be out on the driveway a lot this week!!
