Koen these days!

Poor little Koen is sick AGAIN! Does it ever end? I had to bust out the humidifier again (as I had put it away a few weeks ago thinking this was DONE) and stick a pillow under his mattress so he doesn't die of coughing fits at night! Poor little guy. I took him to the doc and she said its just something viral. So annoying, in other words saying "nothing we can do, just wait it out." While he was there they weighed him and he weighs 25 lbs even, and is 34 inches tall. I was able to snap this cute pic of him "nakee" (as he says) on my phone.

Recently Phil was watching Koen while I was working in the family history center, and Koen decided he could scale the gate into our bathroom. Phil found him in there rummaging through the stuff under the sink. We decided if we raised it a little maybe it would deter him...he has found other ways.

I guess he sees Koda do it and wonders why he cant...his head is a little to big. Sorry none of the pics are that great, they were all taken with my phone!

I know I wrote about how obsessed he is with giving five and bones. Now it is bones and skins. He commonly uses this phrase when I am putting him to bed, "Koda Bones, Daddy bones" He thinks he needs to give everyone bones and "kins" before bed. (including the radio, humidifier and bunny and buffalo) The other night I went in his room cause he was having a coughing fit, and he was saying "me-cine"(medicine) over and over. So I took him into lay with Phil while I went to get some. He then asked for milk so I brought that up too. Once he had his milk and was laying on our bed he thought he needed to watch a show. So after every few sips he would pull out his milk and say "Elmo show" This happened like 10 times. Then I think he realized we weren't watching the Elmo show at 2 in the morning, so he decided to tell us everyone was sleeping..."daddy sleepin, mama sleepin, Koda sleepin" crazy kid!

A few weeks ago I realized that Koen knew a lot of his letters by sight. I decided to make him some flash cards with the letters and on the back did the colors, shapes and numbers. When I took him through the letters I realized he knows all but about 5, but for the colors he says the same thing for each one, "name-bow(rainbow), red, orange, yellow" at first I thought he wasn't paying attention and when he would get to the right color I'd be like "good job Koen" but then I realized he was saying the exact same thing on every single one. That is the order of the colors in a song on his signing time video. Colors are definitely not his strong point! I guess will stick to the letters.

Now that we busted out the humidifier again, the changing table climber has returned, only to new heights!

It doesn't stop with just touching it, he needs to sit by it!

It has been so great since Koen returned from staying with Kade he has been saying 2 and 3 words together with no sweat. It is really fun to watch his vocabulary increase, to more that just single words.

Last week we went to the children's museum. Koen decided to do a little paint on his face.(they have a cute mirror with face paints)The funny thing is we went straight to my doctors appt after and everyone was like "oh did he get left alone with the markers?" NO my child doesn't get markers...otherwise he would look like this EVERYDAY!

He no longer calls "Bean bee" that anymore. I am secretly sad about it. It is now strictly "banket"
My favorite thing Koen is doing right now is that he loves "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" He goes around saying "Jee-sunbeam" all day, with the high beam and arms up. And when ever he sees a picture of Jesus he says "Jee-sumbeam" SOO cute!
