Coen and Company: February Update

Hello! Time continues to go by so quickly and we forget this blog doesn't update itself. Coen is finally asleep and it's not even 10 o'clock, so I finally have a few minutes for a quick update.

This past weekend was a fun one for Coen. On Friday night, Coen attended his first sporting event and he seemed to really enjoy it. Matt's co-host, Nick Bahe, was having his jersey retired at halftime during the Lincoln Southeast boys basketball game, so we decided to head to Lincoln for the big event. I was concerned the band or the crowd may be too loud, but Coen wasn't bothered a bit and he had a fun night! He even got to check-out mommy's pictures on the "Wall of Honor" at the school. Someday he'll be so proud:)

Saturday morning, Matt's parents arrived and Coen was able to spend the weekend with Nanny and Pops. We spent Saturday at home and then on Sunday went to breakfast and then did some shopping. Coen is always such a good boy when we're out and we're so thankful for that. It was a nice weekend and I know Coen enjoyed always having someone to play with him or hold him.

We are really enjoying each day with Coen and he is turning into a fun little guy. He smiles a lot and has recently started to laugh. The sound of his laugh is the best and we can't wait for him to start doing it more often. He likes being on his playmat and is now grabbing for the toys and trying to hang-on. I can't wait for the day when he can hold a toy all on his own (and especially a bottle)! He is quite the little drooler and we imagine we'll see some teeth within the next month or two. Yikes! I can't believe he could possibly be getting that big!

We are very excited for this weekend. My brother JR is finally going to be able to come home and meet Coen. I know Coen is going to love hanging out with his uncle.

We hope everyone is surviving this very cold and snowy winter. We are so excited for the warmer weather ahead. It will be nice to finally be able to take Coen out and go to the park or the zoo. Mom and Dad wouldn't mind getting outside, either!

Coen and company are doing great. We hope the Lord is blessing you, too.

Thanks for reading!
