ahhh gagagaga
for the first 5 1/2 months of ty's life i feel like all he did was eat, sleep and lay propped up in the boppy. i can't believe how much he has grown in the last month. even in the last 2 weeks he has gone from kind of being able to sit up to sitting up on his own, reaching for toys and entertaining himself. he notices when he drops one of his toys and reaches over to try and get it. he has found his voice and spent a good half hour sitting on the floor of his room tonight yelling something like "ahhhh gagagaga eeeeeeeeeee gaaaa gagagaaaa". im pretty sure he said "i really love my mommy". when he wakes up in the morning he talks and talks and talks to himself in his crib and ruddley and i love listening to it through the baby monitor. he certainly is his mothers son:-) he loves when ruddley reads him stories at night. he laughs and laughs and tries to eat the books:-)
we took him to his first maine red claws basketball game a few weeks ago. he LOVED the game. we had a hard time getting a good picture of him 'cause he didnt want to look away from the action.

We have a tank...and two front teeth!
First-- I want to congratulate my big brother Josh and his beautiful Jamie on their new addition! Baby Cohen was born on January 28, 2011. Welcome to the world little dude.
Ok so I know I said I would post some pictures before this post buuuuut I still have not gotten my computer back up and running yet. I do have a few photos from the iphone though. January has been super crazy. I have been helping my mom to direct the Gilbert and Sullivan show this winter and so weekends have been busy with rehearsals, sets, lights, costumes and fun! We just closed our winter run of the show and I'm finally coming out from under the chaos that was my life for the month. Hopefully I'll get things up and running soon. In the meantime Ty has been busy growing.
In the span of one week, Ty cut his two front teeth, grew some hair (to most people he still looks bald, but to us he's got a full head of hair!), rolled over--once, sits up...occasionally falls over, and is eating us out of house and home. Phew..he's a busy boy.
I took him to rehearsals with me so Ruddley had the weekends free to finish up working on our house. Ty was a champ! He loved listening to the music, in fact I have realized that I can only take him to operas, ballets, or symphonies where the music doesn't stop. He would spend the entire day with me at rehearsal and smiled his way through it. I have decided he is not very good birth control for people who lead busy lives and wonder if they can bring their child along with them. I bought a cheap little front pack thing at Wal-Mart and it seemed to do the trick. I strapped him in and he was able to watch everyone while I did my assistant director thing (which basically consisted of my mom telling me to do something and I went and did it).
I took him for his 6 month check up last week and here are his stats
Weight: 19.14lbs
Height: 27in
Head: Umm...I forgot:-)
We are raising a tank! We figured out he is eating almost 30 oz of formula a day plus 3 bowls of cereal and assorted veggies and fruits. He's very interested in everything that he can't have..must be my child!:-) Just this week he has started to be able to walk forwards in his walker...before he was zooming around the house backwards, running into things and knocking them over. He now notices when he drops something on the floor and tries to reach down to pick it up.
Now that spring is on it's way, Ty will be viewing the world from his jogging stroller as I begin to train for the Pineland 25K in May and the MDI Marathon in October.

happy dude
Hello! It's me again with an update on little Ty. We had a fantastic holiday and once I get my computer back, I'll have lots of pictures for you. Sadly, it's visiting the computer doctor to get all the data that was wiped clean off my computer, back.
Ty is STILL a happy baby. We are so fortunate and blessed to have such a fun loving baby. We started him on food a few months ago and so far we haven't found a food that he doesn't like. Cereal- check. Peas, green beans, carrots, applesauce, pears...check, check check. He doesn't care if they are all mixed together or seperate, if they are heated or cold. It shouldn't come as a surprise that he is busting out of some of his 6 month clothes at 5 months old. Lately he has been super interested in what Ruddley and I are eating. He stares at it like its a big bowl of peanut butter m&ms:-)
I'm also pretty sure hes going to pop a tooth pretty soon. He can't get enough of his fist and fingers. He also chomps on the nipple on the bottle, tries to eat my hair and sucks on Ruddley's shoulder.
The other thing he loves is his jumper. He spends hours in it at a time and laughs up a storm when he is jumping. Ruddley and I have been doing an exercise DVD at night and he gets a big kick out of watching us do cardio circuts and mountain climbers.
Ty talks up a storm, my mom says he takes after me:-) We love listening to him babble. Since he was born Ruddley has been trying to teach him to say "Dada". The other day Ruddley says to me, "I should really start trying to get him to say "Mama". It was nice to hear him say that and I thought he was recognzing how hard I work and wanted Ty to say Mama. I asked Ruddley why he thought that, to which he replied "So in the middle of the night he can ask for Mama and not Dada". Sweet moment, ruined!
We have his 6 month check up at the end on January, I'll be interested in seeing what his stats are. Hopefully before then I'll have pictures from the last month.

4 months
Can you believe it!? My baby Ty is 4 months old. He had his 4 month check up last week and he is doing well. Here are his stats...
Weight: 16.10lb
Height: 26in
Head: 17in
Lately Ty has gotten a kick out of talking to himself. He is now "sleeping" in his own room and Ruddley and I love to lay in bed in our room and listen to him babble himself to sleep. He has become quite the traveler as well. A few weekends ago we went to Philadelphia to visit my Aunt Sue and Papi Jack (a total of 9 hours in the car each way) and to watch the Philadelphia Marathon. Then 4 days later we went to New York to visit Ruddley's family for Thanksgiving (10 hours each way). I really can't complain about the car ride, he did so well. It's a good thing too because we love to travel, so he better get used to it. At 4 months he's already a pro at the whole road race thing. He has been to 4 races and 3 expos.
I mentioned last month how he is such a happy baby and he continues to love life. He still hasn't mastered to art of rolling over yet, but he is so close. He loves his stuffed elmo and enjoys eating his feet. He laughs. He smiles. He loves his mom and dad. He has been spending time with our amazing neighbors and good friends Mark and Christine and their kids Mackinna and Kaden. They have been super helpful in watching Ty when we need it. Tyler loves to play with Mackinna and Kaden.
We are slowly figuring out a good night time routine. I think it's just as helpful for me as it is for him. Even though I am still nursing him, I feed him a bottle at night to make sure he's getting what he needs before he goes to sleep. We do a bottle, I sing a few songs to him and rock for a little bit. Usually by 8:30 he's asleep. Not bad.
Here are some pictures to recap November....
