Kohen-ness



Lounging with Dad


Rare occasion-sitting still


He picks the hardest route possible with
most things and plows right through

Notice the cookie still in hand

Also rare occasion...and of course only for Dad

Teething with his otter pop


Getting familiar with the medicine dropper
so he'd let us give him his medicine

He loves to hide out under here.
It's like it's his fort.


Easter 2011

This Easter was a little different but we were able to spend it in Kamiah with Stuart's family. Stuart worked until about 5:30 that morning but luckily didn't have to work that night. Stuart's stake was having a conference (we're all in the same stake) that was being broadcast at 9 am! So when Stuart got home from work we all got ready, loaded up and drove to Kamiah. I was bummed because I wanted to have a nice family photo but by the time we got to Kamiah and got home after conference my hair was long gone and Kohen had slimed himself. Oh well.


Stuart's family had set up an Easter egg hunt. I was so excited because I wasn't going to do one for Kohen since I wasn't sure if he'd really catch on. But I have to admit he did great with the help of Nanny and Grandpa.
First he opened his Easter basket with Nanny and Auntie Marta.


Took pictures with Grandpa.
They were matching with their suits and blue ties.


And off we go.



He did really well at picking up the eggs and putting them in the baskets......




...... until Grandpa showed him how cool they are when they shake.

Then he didn't want to let go :)


We made a quick visit to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Rupp


I know...bad mom award. But we took the four wheeler to go visit Great G&G since the likelihood of me tripping down the hill was greater than him falling while I held him with a death grip and drove 5mph. He loved it of course.

All in all it was a fun trip and a great Easter!

Gramma & Auntie Krista

We were able to have my mom and sister come up for a visit back in April. Gramma needed cuddles from her grand baby and we loved having them here.

The "snotty teenager" picture as Krista would call it.
Krista was actually the one that noticed it...but it was just a bad shot. :)

Popping bubbles

Following Gramma into the kitchen and showing her where everything is

Playing with all the new toys
Thank goodness for Grandparents

Checking out his new smart phone Gramma got him

Envying the food
"What?! You're eating with out me?"


Kohen decided he was going to wash Gramma's feet on night. The funny thing is that I am such a germ freak and am constantly sanitizing his toys, hands.... Apparently Kohen's picked that up because I often catch him pulling out a wet wipe and litterally cleaning of the table with it or his toys. I think it's super cute. Stuart's a little worried he's going to be a nerd.

"What else should I wipe mom?"

Teethies

My new dump truck. I LOVE cars/trucks.

All pooped out

Kohen loved the attention! We love and miss you!

8 month diaper pics

Kohen's getting harder to keep still of course but luckily my mom and sister were visiting and helped me.







"Hey...I can knock this down"



"Here let me help you with that mom"

8 is great!

Here are just a few of the pictures from Kohen's 8th month and what he'd been up to.


Since we didn't have a walker toy for him....he made his own.
He loved to try and climb, walk along, untie.... you name it...everything!

What a cute baby bum!

Teething. Proud owner of 6 teeth.

Look closely. He had a puff stuck to the end of his nostril. He thought he was funny stuff.

We love that he always holds his sipper to the side so he can keep an eye on you.

Happy Boy!

Always on the go
