7 Months

And another month has passed....

Our little man is sitting up on his own, eating bananas, applesauce, pears, squash, carrots, peas and sweet potatoes. He's still not enjoying rice cereal, but we sneak it in now and then. He's chatting up a storm and I think is trying his hardest to say "Mama" first. Every now and again I'm sure I can hear it... He's finally rolling from his back to his tummy and working his hardest to get on his hands and knees. Next stop = crawling.

Music & Lyrics

If it wasn't obvious to the world, music is a huge part of life at the Cook household. Songs are always playing and we have fun previewing new worship music Seth gets in the mail, practicing and singing a lot of new songs. Well, Alex has become quite the singer lately. He memorizes songs incredibly quickly and is always singing something. The only issue is some of his lyrics are kind of questionable such as these lyrics to

"Silent at Night"
"Round yon verson, udder wind chime."

Or his favorite song from the Veggie Tales Christmas CD. You know, the song that's the example of what not to be like...

"Jingle, jingle, jingle POCHING!
Ya ya ya ya!
That's the sound of Christmas ti-ime!"
(The "POCHING" should be "ca-ching" Like a cash register noise)

See what I mean? Not exactly text book. This morning Alex was in washing his hands for breakfast and I heard this...

"O Santa!
O Saaaaaaaanta!
You are the God who saves us!
Worthy of all our praises."

I think we have some work to do theologically....

St Patrick's Day

Here's our St. Patrick's Day photo shoot with my two favorite little boys. As they are getting older it's getting a LITTLE bit easier to get a shot where they are both smiling...

Surprise?

1/2 of them are smiling

Now the other 1/2

This one is my favorite. I was so bummed Alex's face is out of focus.

So typical

Purely sweet

Budding Artist

These are Alex's drawings of the day. The two that were my favorite anyway... :)

Alex, Asher, Daddy & Mommy

This is a potato man. That's right folks he has all his parts...Hair, eyes, mouth, legs, belly, heart, chest, and what's the line off to the left? Oh yes, that's how you know he's not a potato woman....

Cuteness

This video was taken on our old camera (because 30 seconds after I started the video camera the battery died....negligence on my part...I didn't charge it.) This camera is going in the trash today because of the weird purpleness it's all become, but I wanted to share this anyway. :)

Toes!

The teething toy recommended most by babies.

Snuggly Morning

This was my Thursday morning. My two boys snuggled in the chair watching Go Diego Go! While I was making breakfast. Aren't these two incredibly precious together? I love them so....

6 Months

Hard to believe half a year has already passed since this sweet boy entered our lives! He's growing and changing so quickly now. He's rolling over some. Sitting up for short bits of time and making it obvious to us that he's not a tiny infant anymore. It's such fun to see his personality coming out and the new interactions between him and Alex.

Rice Cereal

Last week Asher got his first taste of rice cereal. Let's just say it wasn't popular and we haven't been anxious to try again.
