Cohen's First Solid Food

A few weeks back, Dec 6th to be exact, Cohen had his first taste of solid food - rice cereal. He did really well and quickly graduated to Oatmeal and Mixed Baby Cereal. Yesterday, he got his first bite of squash. He didn't seem to know quite what to think of the squash, but ate it anyway. :o)

Christmas

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas together as a family of 4! This was really the first year that Carson "got" Christmas. He opened presents and was truly excited to discover what was inside each gift! It was so much fun to watch him this year!

Carson's First Trip to the Snow

While we were down in Southern California visiting my family for Christmas, we took Carson and his cousin Alec (with my two sisters and their husbands) up to Big Bear to play in the snow. We found a great little snow park (just $5 per car to get in) to go sledding at near Big Bear Lake.

We all had a great time. It was a beautiful, sunny day.

We went sledding,


threw snowballs,

built a snowman

and made snow angels.

5 months old!

Cohen turned 5 months old this week!

He's now sleeping through the night pretty consistently. We put him down to bed around 8-9pm and he wakes up around 7am. It's great! We started him on rice cereal about 2 weeks ago and now he's eating oatmeal and mixed baby cereals as well. He seems to like it.

Cohen is really strong. He loves to play on his stomach and is reaching and scooting along the floor to reach toys (he's been rolling over in both directions for quite awhile now as well). The exersaucer and jumperoo are also getting good use these days! But his absolute favorite thing is to have someone hold him and talk to him. His face lights up and he has the best smile and laugh!
