January 2010

I walk out of Cohen's room for a few seconds, and come back

to find Camden in the crib. This was the first time he did that,

and I've caught him trying to do it several times. So, if Cohen

is in his crib and Camden knows it, I can't leave the room.

eating carrots for the first time (first solids besides cereal)

Cohen is our biggest eater. Smallest baby, but biggest eater. Go figure!

Camden decided to wreck his room one morning, and Cohen watched.

Mykenzi put this puzzle together almost completely by herself.

I gave the boys matching pj's for Christmas. Aren't they cute?

Cohen had been using Camden's old swing, which died on us. Both boys have loved the swing, and Cohen hasn't shown any signs of being done with it (it's his favorite way to sleep besides being held), so we had to go buy a new one. After some research we found that it's very commeon for the motor in these Fisher Price papasan style swings to die. You can probably get a replacement motor from FP if you pay for it and know how to put it in the swing, but we didn't get that far as it died on us during a crucial time where he was being extra fussy and the swing was our saving grace. As it turns out, the swing is paying for itself in what we're saving in batteries. We were replacing all four D batteries in the old swing quite often ever since Cohen was born, about once a week (good thing we buy batteries in bulk at BJ's but it still adds up), and we've only put batteries in this swing once in 2 months. Cohen is still using it just as often too.
