March 2009

Hooray for Spring break! I worked two days at the hospital, but the rest of the time was spent getting the house ready for sale and enjoying Mommy-n-Me time with Koen. I feel like I never get enough time just playing with him so it was wonderful to have a few days off work just to play! Kenn spent a lot of time this month doing projects around the house and the biggest was tiling the bathroom floors. It was a lot of work, but it looks wonderful. He's quite the handyman! While Kenn was working on the floors the bathroom was out of comission so Koen got to take baths in the kitchen. He was so adorable squished in the sink :)

What's Koen been up to? Well, he's very busy learning how to crawl and growing teeth. He's got two little nubs poking out of his bottom gums and loves sticking his tongue in and out of his mouth to scratch it on them. He looks like a little frog searching for flies! His new favorite activity is screetching at the top of his lungs and then smiling around to make sure no one missed his performance. He's also decided that the cats tail is a fascinating toy and lunges for it everytime she ventures nearby. Luckily, Fatty hasn't been too bothered the few times he's actually managed to grab hold - she just sniffs at him, pulls her tail out of his grubby hands and saunters away. It's fun to watch Koen interact with the animals - they are very tolerant of his drooly kisses and energetic pats. Who needs siblings when you've got four furry friends to entertain you?!

Firsts this month: First two lower teeth break through and first attempts at crawling
