15 months

So I haven't blogged in a long time but here I am again. Anyhow Cohen is 15 months old! And...super duper fun!

In the past few weeks he has been so silly and playful it's just too much fun! He has been initiating peek-a-boo which I think is a riot! He loves to chase the dogs around while laughing hysterically. And the last few days he has started to give kisses! Cohen is really starting to hunger for attention and to me this means that we've entered yet another stage in his development. This stage has also included some pretty impressive little fits, where he can throw his head down in despair while sitting with his legs straddled. We call it the pancake. That boy is so flexible! Also, he enjoys throwing his head down on the ground and crawling at the same time.

Speaking of crawling, Cohen is a great crawler! I think he gets faster everyday. He has been pulling up on things for a few months now and is starting to get more brave with his standing up on things, letting go for longer and longer.

Joel and I have been busy too. This semester was a busy one and I'm so excited for it to be over! Joel spent a month in Kansas City doing an OB rotation. And has been out of town a lot interviewing for residencies.

In other news, we are excited to be expecting another little one in June! I am excited to provide Cohen with the bonding opportunity that only a sibling can offer. I can imagine them talking about how silly and old Joel and I are. I will see the doctor more often than last time because of the risk of having another preemie. They will be watching me closely and giving me weekly shots of 17P starting at week 16 in hopes of avoiding preterm labor. I am a little scared and very hopeful!
