1 month old!

Last week aunt Bev came from KC to help out at the Moll house for a couple days. It was great having her here! She helped prepare food that we froze, did laundry, helped care for Cohen and much more. We're still enjoying the lasagna, burritos, cookies, etc. that she made.

Cohen had his first professional photo shoot. I took him to Portrait Innovations in West Des Moines. Unfortunately he wasn't in his most photogenic state (just woke up and just finished crying when it was time to be cute), and his tired, sad eyes are pretty evident on the finished product. There were a few keepers in the bunch.

On Saturday, Deb went to her friend Kathy's shower and bachelorette party and was gone for 6 whole hours (the longest she'd been away from Cohen). No worries, he was in good hands with Daddy, and Deb had a really great time with the girls.

On Sunday, our friends Mike and Kristi came to visit. They brought Cohen an awesome crib toy. It looks like a piano keyboard with only 5 keys. When Cohen gets a little older he can make music by kicking it with his feet as he lays in his crib.

Cohen continues to change physically. His hair continues to thin and he's battling a bit of baby acne on his cheeks and chin. He's getting longer by the day, and filling out a little more. Of course, we still think he's the cutest kid ever. Developmentally, he's right on track for 1-month old babies. It won't be long until he's "officially" smiling. He tries so hard! His mouth distorts into an almost-smile shape, his eyes twinkle and he makes happy little cooing noises. After seeing this a number of times, we're pretty sure it's more than just gas.

Here are a few recent pics. Thanks for visiting and check back again soon!

Check out the little frog body! This picture cracks me up.
