1. Coen loves food. He loves it so much that I'm actually having to feed him less of it so that he'll still breastfeed. Plus is messes with his tummy sometimes and that makes for some very long nights. But he'll pretty much eat anything. The only things he doesn't like are baby food peas and dill pickles. His favorites are bananas and sweet potatoes.
2. He is crawling all over the place now. He'll follow me around the house grunting and wanting to be picked up. It's very sweet but also makes it hard to get anything done. I'll be trying to wash dishes and he'll be standing right behind me holding onto my legs and patting them, asking to be picked up. And he's really fast when he wants to be.
3. Him and Luna do not get along. After a couple of scratching incidents she is having to be shut in our room if he is up and on the loose. So whenever we're not home or when he's sleeping she has run of the house, but otherwise she has to be put away until she can be nice/he learns to leave her alone. Even though she's scratched him he is so excited when he sees her and wants to pet her so badly.
4. He loves hugs. When I'm sitting on the floor watching him play he'll crawl over to me and into my lap for a hug. Melts my heart.
5. He loves books. Pulling them off the shelf. Turning the pages. Ripping the pages. I've had to tape a page back together in a library book. I always saw those pages and thought that the parents needed to keep a better eye on their children and teach them how to take care of a library book. I never thought about the fact that it could be babies doing the damage. And in my case, it was. Oops.
6. He's starting to protest. He is a stubborn one and gets very upset if he is thwarted in his plans. If he is wanting to grab the computer and is told no and the computer is taken away he has a mini melt down. If I need to put him down while he's wanting to be held because I really have to go to the bathroom, he has a melt down. Most of the time he is a happy go lucky baby, but he will let you know when he's upset!
7. He absolutely loves his dad. Doug was away for the weekend and you could tell that Coen missed him. He got crankier and crankier as the weekend went on. The day Doug was coming home I had texted him about how stressed out I was with Coen and how he was crying non-stop and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. When Doug got home that all went away and Doug said that if I hadn't texted him about it, he never would have known Coen had been so cranky (I'm just glad he believed me).
8. Coen has cut his two bottom teeth. Those were some loooong nights/days. Only 18 more baby teeth to go...Now we can't let him bite our knuckles. And luckily he hasn't bitten me while feeding...yet.
9. He's starting to transition from 3 naps a day to 2. Every day it seems to go back and forth. One day he'll take two really long naps. The next day he'll take 2 short and one long, or 3 short naps. He goes to bed at 8 every night and wakes between 6:30-7:30. I love that it has finally gotten lighter in the early morning. I'm dreading daylight savings because it doesn't feel so early when it's light out. I wish we'd get rid of day light savings!
10. Coen loves playing with his tongue. Sometimes he sucks on it. Sometimes he turns it upside down. I haven't seen him do a tongue taco yet, so we're not sure if he has the gene or not, but we keep showing him how to do it. He also loves blowing raspberries and has started putting noises with it. So cute!
