On Parenthood

It seems that everyone is asking, "So what is it like to be a parent?" But the funny thing is, life doesn't really feel much different than it did before. I know that much has changed, but it is hard to quantify it. And this is just our new normal now. Perhaps this is the case because we have such a delightful baby. I know many new parents really struggle and we have had our moments, but for the most part it has been a rather natural adjustment. Cami even says he is ready for number two!

Cohen is a very pleasant little man. He is content in most situations and loves to take in everything around him. He is wide eyed and inquisitive. Cohen is learning how to "talk". He loves it when we talk to him; he holds eye contact and tries to mimic the movements of our mouths. He has taken to talking to his toys now, it is really quite fun to watch. His smile is so bright and lights up his whole face. He really is a delight to have around and it is fun to watch him learn new things. As a matter of fact, he discovered that if he kicks his legs vigorously while in his bouncy chair, the toys go wild. Well the other day he was in his car seat with a monkey dangling in front of him so naturally he began kicking his feet like crazy. Unfortunately, the monkey didn't bounce around like his other toys and Cohen was quick to tell the monkey that he was unhappy with his performance. He is so fun!!!!!

Hopefully I will be able to upload some new pictures soon.
