Coen's first Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving was good. We got to see family that we haven't seen in a while and ate lots of food. Here are some pictures.

Thanksgiving at daycare

Coen's daycare provided a Thanksgiving lunch for all the children at the center and all of the parents too. There were a lot of turkeys cooked because there were a lot of people there. They served turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll and strawberry shortcake. It was very yummy. Coen really like it too. Here are some pictures.

Playing with Duke

Duke has finally gotten use to Coen being around. He wouldn't come around Coen much, but now they like to play and entertain each other. Here are a few pictures of them playing tug-a-war with duke's toy.

Ouch!

Coen has been getting brave the last couple of nights. When he pulls up to stand, he is now letting go and trying to take a step. Well, he pulled up on his changing table this morning and then let go. He then took about 2 steps and found himself head first into the wall. I was standing close to him but it happened so fast that I couldn't catch him in time. He fell into the base board. Poor guy! He pulls up all the time but I just didn't expect him to try and take a few steps on his own. I have a feeling that he will be walking very soon. I hate to see him get hurt but I guess that's part of learning and growing up in life. Here are a couple of pictures with his boo-boo above his eye.

Playing in the refrigerator

he loves to pull out the chocolate syrup first....he knows it's the good stuff

going for the pepto-bismol...yuck! I should probably move that one up higher

Coen the turtle

Happy Halloween! Coen's first Halloween was so much fun. He was a turtle and might I add, the cutest turtle ever. We visited all the grandparents and even went to a trunk-or-treat at a church. He got lots of goodies like candy, cookies, a Halloween bear and Halloween books. When the night was over he was a tired little turtle. Here are some pictures.

Halloween is almost here

We found this really cute Halloween shirt, the ghost lights up every time he moves. I'm surprised the light hasn't gone out yet because Coen is on the move constantly. We also were able to carve out our pumpkin the other night. Coen got to help me clean it out after we carved it. He tried to eat some of the pumpkin and then found out it wasn't to tasty. Here are some pictures.
