it's been a big couple of days around here! cohen is rolling now. well sort of anyway. he can go from his back to his tummy no problem but then he usually flails like an overturned beetle, arms waving, face firmly planted in the blanket. at this point he usually gurgles with agitation and so i need to come turn him sunny side up again. but sometimes he calms for only a moment and finds the clarity to get himself back to his back. it won't be long. it's a strange feeling watching your baby grow and learn and become something older and wiser and altogether more human (though he still has a long ways to go on the truely older and truely wiser front, but you know what i mean!). i feel satisfied and excited, yet scared and apprehensive. to be expected i guess. i wish i had video of him rolling, i tried...honest. but everytime i took out the camera he would stop and start laughing at me. like i said, wiser.

i do have some recent video though, for those that are into that kind of thing. one is a bouncing good time and the other, well the other is filled with face smushing cuteness...or so says me but i may be a little bias. as always they use quicktime and are of a file size large enough that you wouldn't want to attempt it with dial up. enjoy!

irish jig anyone?
