January 2016

January was cold. And dark. We made the best of it.

Vash was so proud that he could hold the baby and eat cake at the same time.

Potty Time!

Rhyla was Star Student at her preschool in January. Isn't her poster the best?

Someone is so sorry he tried to eat the marker.

"Mom, he wants to wear the hat."

Mr. Mischief and his "Mine, Mine." He actually stole that from the baby. We'd say, "That's baby Cohan's." He'd say, "No, it's Mine, Mine."

Chubby Bunny.

Back when his hair was still dark. I love how serious he seems.

Helping Mommy wash the dishes. He stood there for an hour or more, soaking everything in reach.

So happy for a turn on Brother's leapster.

Yo shorty, it's your birthday. (In preschool, that is.)

He's so happy to see me!

Dr. Fischer. (He's convinced his ears are called eyes, lol.)

Craft time.

Rhyla's butterfly: A tribute to Christmas. 

The pirate crab.

Fischer colored a dinosaur, of course.

Why no, there can't be too many pictures of a sleeping baby.

This is our curious face.

Chilling in the ottoman.

Basketball season! Vash actually got hit in the face with the ball, then threw it and made a goal. It was the shining moment of his season.

They think this is a nappy time place. I don't know why.

This is our coy face. 

Fischer and his truck full of animals. 

Braving the weather for outside time.

The Bugs peed all over these bean bags. Now I have to recover them, lol. 

Sorry, but not sorry. He's so peaceful.

Sick days mean movie days.

Vash and I went on a Mommy, Son date to get hibachi. Egg Roll!

Natural History museum day!

Fischer let Cohan have Mine, Mine for a minute. (Too bad we lost the toy some weeks later.)

This is where Fischer's obsession with Dinosaurs really took off.

Waiting for the thing to open it's mouth and get 'em.

Vash took notes about the exhibits.

Tired legs.

The older three got to pet a snake. 

We found a statue room!

My bed bugs.

The Hoodlum.

Vash built a house against the tree. 

Breakfast time fun.

Bedhead.

She's so sweet when she smiles. 

Boy time.

The new play area at the Monroeville mall. 

It's soooooo big!

This is one of my favorites.

Fischer watching Rhyla train her ninja.

Vash reading to the baby.

Can we have a fish?

Tired baby.

We melted down broken crayons and made lego crayons. They don't work as well but they're cute. 

Don't get lost, Fisch!

A neighbor paid Vash five dollars to snow-blow his driveway.

Another sick day. 

Cold weather gets us down.

Brother love.

He's always so alert. 

Except when he's asleep, lol. 

Write like Mommy.

Resting with her baby. 

Teething time. 

Fischer and I took a mommy and me class. He was pretty thrilled to find this guy here. 

Painting snow. 

Cutie pies. 

Doesn't he look so bright?

Floor time. 

Oh, yes. It begins. 

The bribes. 

Snow day. 

Cohan's unimpressed with Sea Base, lol. 

Giant Cupcake!

And he ate it all!

Eating is serious business. 

Too tired to pick up our head. 

Yeah, seven months later and he's still not trained, lol. 

Helpers. 

Look MA, I roll!

Daddy time!

I think we celebrated my birthday at some point in the month. I think.... That might have been something to do with the cupcakes. Can't remember, lol!
