Sorry All, this month has been CRAZY busy! In the past three weeks, Coby and I travelled to Ohio on an airplane for a week, enjoyed our last five days at home together, were separated for the first time for a whole day (in fact for several full days), and have had lots of fun with our new camera! Anyhow, the last three weeks have been super busy. I cannot begin to tell you all how much Coby has changed in the past three weeks~ he has become extremely mobile as he rolls from one side of the room to the other~ no more setting him down to play on his own!
Okay, so let's hit some of the key points of the past few weeks. In Ohio, we continued Coby's adventures in solid food with some avocado~ he LOVED it! Unfortunately, on the third and fifth day of eating it, he developed a bit of a skin reaction on his face which means we have taken a break from avocado. This week we added in green beans which he has finally adjusted too, though still not his favorite, and he continues with his rice cereal. Today, we will start sweet potato which I hear from most is almost always a favorite.
The trip too and from Ohio was a learning experience. The airplane wasn't too bad though Coby is so interested in everyone on the plane. Learning moment~ Coby is not going to fall asleep at bedtime on a plane with someone sitting right next to us. He fussed most of the way to Ohio. On the return flight (much less crowded), we were able to have two seats which allowed him some privacy to fall asleep~ so much easier for me. Daddy missed us bunches while we were gone and was happy to have us return- that meant lots of snuggles for Coby for several days! Both were quite pleased to be together again! In the pic below, Coby is playing with his "teether ball." His Auntie Joy got him this and who knew how much he would love this crazy ball!
Returning from Ohio marked another fun thing for Coby~ actual jumping in the jumperoo. I mean it; he gets completely airborn. It is so fun to watch his delight as he jumps for long periods of time. However, be ready when he gets tired~ he will want out immediately!
This past week, both Alain and I were back to work. This was probably the hardest time for me since coming home with Coby. While I was thrilled to get back into the classroom, leaving Coby behind all day was not my idea of fun. However, Coby is super happy to spend every day with my dear friend Coreen! He is in heaven over there! It makes it much easier for me to know he is with someone who loves him and cares for him so well!
Last night, we enjoyed one of our last few events with the Johnson fam (at least Brian, Jess, and Isaac) before they head overseas to serve in India. Isaac has become quite the Tarheel and thought it was so fun to watch the Tarheels in action on the soccer field (and to see Uncle Alain working hard on the sidelines). It was such a fun evening!
Well, I will try to update weekly as I settle into my new working-mom schedule. Coby continues to grow and gets cuter every day!
UPDATE: sweet potatoes were definitely a hit! He LOVES them! Soon the pics I post will be of coby with an orangish hue (I wonder if I can photoshop that out) :)
