Summer Lovin'

My mommy is off for summer!!!! What could be better? You will see below how hard it is to be a 6 month old - that's right - on June 11th, I turned 6 months. Weighing in at 19 lbs and 27.5 inches the doctor says I'm doing great. My head circumference was my highest as far as percentile (we know who to thank for that!)

My mom makes me wear this hat because it's cute ... and it matches my trunks.

When the pool gets too boring - I hang in the shade ...

... with my Aunt Candi!

Then, I like to spend some time just playing in my diaper in the convenience of the air conditioning.

And when the day just gets to be too much, I take a bath and get ready to cuddle with my mommy and daddy for bedtime. Man, this life is rough!

Summer time at our pool!

I'm not going to lie to ya, tonight was fun! This is the first time I have been in a pool and remembered it. I was in the pool with daddy down in Florida a couple of months ago but don't remember it too well. I think I may have been Nemo in an earlier life. I was born to swim!

Heaven!
My mommy even got in - and, trust me, she doesn't ever get in unless it's about 90 degrees.

This is me while mommy and daddy went home for lunch. I'm kidding, daddy is next to me.

Fun Day to be a Grammy.

Getting out of the pool, not so much fun. But my mommy makes it better of course.

Out in the country

Now I am the luckiest boy in the world! I have the best of both worlds. I have my Nana and Papa who live near the beach in Sarasota Florida, although I don't get to see them that much. And then I have Grandma Woods who lives out in the country where porch swings and cold ice tea is the norm on a summer night. I took advantage of the swing on a recent trip to Oregonia to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Stevens and my Grandma Woods.


This is one of my two favorite Grandma's!!!! Grandma Woods. I love her so much!

Yes, I am single ladies!

I love this place!

Here we go again! Good thing my friend Jesus gave me big puffy cheeks.

My daddy puts on a great block party!

This was something my mommy called a pin yatta?? Anyhoo, I didn't win.

So you think this is funny mommy?

This is Mr. Fire Dog. He and I became great friends at the block party!

This is my mommy who I pray every night, that I get her good looks!

These are my mommy's good friends Aunt Bri and Missy. I kept telling Aunt Bri that I am only supposed to be breast-fed by my mommy!

I know, I know..it's been awhile. But I'm back!

This Nemo fish is amazing!

Mommy, please quit looking at daddy like that.

Lookin like a toddler, eh?

Not that's just plain funny, I don't care who ya are!

I became a firefighter like my daddy!

I followed my daddy's footsteps in being a firefighter. At the age of 5 months, I am the youngest infant to ever reach the level of Captain. From now on, whenever my name is mentioned in this blog, you WILL refer to me as Captain Graham Cohen. (Below are some pictures and transcript from a fire that I myself saved 3 elderly woman and 2 turtles. It's a dangerous job, but someone must put their life on the line to save life and property on a daily basis!

911 Center- "Engine 66"
Captain Graham- "This is Engine 66, go ahead communications"
911 Center- Engine 66, be advised..per another caller, heavy fire coming from the 2nd floor
Captain Graham-"That's clear. Place us on scene with a 2 two story residential structure with
heavy fire from the A-side and B-side of the dwelling. Have all units switch
to fire channel 3. Drop me a 3rd alarm. Have my second-in engine drop a tail
and start towards the C-side. Have Engine 67 be my RAT
team (rapid assistance team). Also, I will need Air Rescue 91 to be placed
on stand by, and dispatch a recall for all available personnel to respond to
their station. Once Engine 76 arrives on scene, have them be interior 2.
Copy?

This is my daddy, he's one of my volunteers

This is Captain Steve (friend of my daddy's) with me and Daddy!

Reds Sweep the Tribe..as it should be!

REDS- 4 TRIBE- 2


BORN TO BE A REDS FAN!

I shed a tear when I learned Griffey was in the starting line-up. Enough is enough already!! Trade him, for all that's sacred!!

If I had teeth, I would show them like my mommy! For now, it's all gums!

Mommy, exactly how high are we in these seats?

More random pics

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!

This giraffe tried intimidating me like no zoo animal ever has before. I got 'em though!

This is Mrs. Baker. My daddy says she is Mr. Baker's nanny.

My daddy says this little "cage-like" fence is for me. We both know the truth, right mommy?

My mouth found my thumb! Or did my thumb find my mouth?

Wow, so this show you call "Cheating Wives" is supposed to teach me what?

Mother's Day 2008

OK, so let me tell you a little bit about the special person in my life called "My Mommy!". We all have a mommy, but let me tell you why mine is the best. I put it into a poem for all you ladies who think I don't have a soft side.

I Love My Mommy!
When I think of Mommy, I feel happy.
Because she's there all the time,
Every morning, day and night.
What I like best about Mommy,
Is that she makes dinner every night.
Mommy is special to me,
Because she plays hide and seek with me.
Every morning day and night.
And we have pizza every day. I like that a lot.
When she asks me if I love her, I say yes, yes a lot!
I love my Mommy.

(Ok, so it's not the best, but it's how I feel!)
