Cohen's Growing

16 Weeks, Wishing for company!
August 4-August 10, 2008

This week Amanda, Abby, and Ava came to stay with me! They got here on Monday morning, and they were all so excited to see me. Abby kept trying to play with me, but I didn't quite know how to play yet! We just relaxed today.

While they were here, we did several things though. The first day, we went to the pool. Abby and Ava love the pool! I am getting pretty fond of it too. I was resting in my crib for a while, and Abby climbed in all by herself to keep me company! Amanda came and saw and called for Mom to come look, and they got a real big kick out of it. Abby couldn't get down though!

Tuesday, Amanda and Mom took us shopping at the outlets in Sevierville. We were a lot to handle! After lunch, they just kept us in the car and took turns getting out at stores. By 2pm, they were ready to go home, but we ended up staying until 4pm! After we got home, Daddy made us all dinner (hamburgers!), and we went to the pool. We also watched a movie: Over the Hedge.

Wednesday, we just relaxed again. Amanda and Mommy tried to take us to a water park near our house, but there were a million kids there so we decided to just go home and go to the pool. On the way there, Ava screamed and scared me, and I started crying real hard. Well, that upset Ava, and she started crying real hard too! Aunt Amanda and Mommy were about at their wits end, but still decided to stop at Target. Finally, we made it home just in time for Abby and Ava's nap time.

When Daddy got home, we went to the pool. Mommy bought a float for Ava, but she didn't like it, and started crying. Poor Ava. Abby had a great time in the pool though; she is such a good swimmer!

Thursday, Mommy had to run and get a prescription for her doctor's appointment later in the day, and Aunt Amanda kept all three of us kids! We had a great time and were very good for her. After Mommy got home, Amanda, Abby, and Ava left to go home. Mommy and I are going to miss them so much! Daddy too. He loves Abby and Ava as much as he loves me!

Saturday, we went to meet Papa B and Nana in Chattanooga. They took me to the Tennessee Aquarium. We all enjoyed it.

Look how I compare to a penguin!

I don't look too thrilled here, but I really was having a great time!

I really loved this fish. I kept watching them. After we went to the aquarium, we went to eat at Mommy's favorite place to eat in Chattanooga. (Okay, she says that's the only place she's eaten there, but she still loves it.) It's called the Big River Brewery, and they have great salad and pizza! Then, we just walked around and enjoyed downtown Chattanooga. Mommy and Daddy really wanted to spend the night down there, but we ended up going home anyways. Oh well, another time.

Sunday, after the meeting, we went to Mommy's 2nd Cousin's house for dinner. Pam and Jim always take good care of Mommy and Daddy and treat them like their own kids. Pam is an excellent cook too! We just had hamburgers and potato salad, but it was so yummy! After dinner, I got to take a ride in her grandsons' wagon. Thanks, Carson and Jett!
