a haircut and strawberries!

Well, I'm going to attempt to be a good blogger, and update weekly. In the last week we've had some fun! We found out that Cohen likes celery! This is huge because he really won't eat fresh fruits or veggies. Once I figure out how to upload videos (I have one of Cohen eating celery) I'll share some fun ones. Last year I made chocolate covered strawberries for Josh for Valentine's day, and they were such a hit, that I decided to do it again. I'm not a professional by any means - so don't look at the pictures too carefully, but they taste good - and that's what's important.

One of the little rules I've had for Cohen ever since he learned how to climb has been that he's not allowed to stand up on the kitchen table chairs. (He'd usually end up on the kitchen table.) Well, I decided to change my rule. Is that allowed? He begs and begs for my attention whenever I'm in the kitchen preparing food. I don't want to teach him that I'm going to hold him all the time - so I got this idea from a friend in the ward. So far it's a good compromise. He doesn't beg for me to pick him up, and he can see what I'm doing, and I think he's fairly safe as long as I keep an eye on where I place him, and what I'm doing on the counter.

Cohen loves chocolate - just like his mommy. How could he not love the Ghirardelli chips that covered the strawberries? I think that's why he's smiling so much in this picture.

Here they are. I think they turned out better last year. At least they tasted good, and Josh loved them and of course wanted to share them with me.

Grandma (Josh's mom, Debbie) sent a cute Valentine's day package for us. This is a little creature was in it, and I think Cohen likes it. He points out the eyes and even says "eyes."




We finally got Cohen's hair cut again. There is a girl that lives in our ward and in our apartment complex in my same situation (husband at Chiropractic school, she's home with 2 kids) that cuts hair. She did a fantastic job- I think better than the salon I took Cohen to at the end of November.

We put gel in it most days, but it usually wares off in a couple of hours.

Cohen - laughing his head off!
