Cousin Fun

We have been having a lot of "Cousin fun" lately it seems. Noah just loves spending time with "the girls" and I'm sure Cohen will love it too, one day!

First official "Cousin pic" since Cohen's arrival...

Madison (9), Cohen (one month), Emma Kate (5), Noah (2 1/2), Rylie (1 1/2)

The cousins (minus Cohen) with Nana at the Rowlett Fireworks show...

Noah with Maddie watching the fireworks...

Miss Patriotic...Rylie Paige

The cousins (minus cohen) with glow sticks...much safer for kids then sparklers!

Noah, Maddie, Rylie (and Emma in the background) at the Forney spray park....

and since Cohen was jipped out of some of these pics I thought I would add one of him...

One Month Old!

Here are some things that little Cohen is up to:

-We have caught him smiling on a few occasions (the non-gassy ones)

- He follows voices with his eyes, especially Noah's!

- He loves hanging out outside.

-He is starting to love tummy time a little more since he can hold his head up for longer amounts of time.

- He his eating and sleeping is sporadic and is not at all on a schedule. :/

- He loves to listen to Daddy play the guitar.

-The most he has slept during the night is 5 hrs at one time...we hope to be seeing more of that!

We love you, little buddy and can't believe you have grown so quickly!

Celebrating 5 Years!

Happy Anniversary, honey! Here's your new baby!

This year we joked that we got each other a baby for our 5 year gift. What else could we want?

A trip down memory lane, if you will...
Aaron and his groomsmen and some friends at the rehearsal before heading out to the Rangers v. Astros game.

Our wedding day, June 26th, 2004...

This photo is soon to go on our fridge for motivational purposes ;)

Me and the Bridesmaids and cute little Maddie...

On our honeymoon in Maui. We are hoping to go back one day!

Love you Aaron! Remember how we said we wouldn't have kids until at least 5 years?! Funny how things change and now we have two of them!

Tonight we are celebrating (with Cohen) at the cheesecake factory...thanks Bonnie and Chaz! ;) Tomorrow we (with Cohen) are going to the Sixth Floor Museum. Aaron has never been and always has wanted to go. So, we thought we could definitely do that with an infant! Noah is with his Mimi in Oklahoma at a family reunion. Thanks Mimi! Happy weekend everyone...stay cool!

Side by Side

Okay, so this is the best that I could come up with. They have different expressions, so it is hard to see the resemblance. Cohen is definitely favoring his Daddy these days. I guess that is not such a bad thing ;)

My Boys...

A friend of mine, Mckenzie, came over the other night and snapped a few pics of the boys. Here are a couple of my faves.

Brotherly Love and First Bath

But first a pic of sweet little Cohen sleeping. He's been doing it a lot lately!

Noah laying down by his little brother.

Cohen's first bath. He loved having his hair washed, but the rest he didn't care for all that much.

I love the sweet smiles he has during his sleep. You can't tell in this pic but he has dimples like Noah.

So far, Noah has been doing great with Cohen around.


And another pic of Cohen to end with.
