well hello there, are you new around here?

yesterday cohen, silvija and i went and met avner. it was a bit surreal seeing how small he was and trying to remember what life was like when cohen was so wee. i guess my memory isn't built for holding such tidbits because looking back it doesn't seem like it was possible, but it was. soon i will have my own pint size baby again, seeing avner made me start to get a little excited.

i know marita mentioned his head in her announcement, but it looked perfect to me. everything about him looked perfect, including his incredibly long fingers and toes. cohen seemed to take to him alright, although he was mostly indifferent preferring to play with atticus' train. he did come over and rub his head twice while he was crying though (and both times he calmed him down), so that is a good sign. it is a lot different when it is someone elses baby though.

in other news, it has been awhile since we have seen video on the blog so i thought i would share a clip from the video i took the other night of cohen playing the piano. his uncle is a very talented and accomplished musician and he reads the blog...so tell me, does he have a chance?

that's the start, the middle, and the end

today we went and hung out with megumi and ryden. megumi is a friend of mine from work and ryden is her son who was born on january 16th, exactly 7 months after cohen. i hadn't been over to meet him yet (although i had seen a lot of cute pictures), and so i was excited to hold a newborn again and smell his baby head. he didn't disappoint. cohen, who isn't the most gentle at the best of times, did alright considering. of course he did make ryden cry a couple of times by imposing himself on his personal space, but no one lost an eye and so it was all fun and games in the end.
