Payton found the magical giggle words for Cohen. I tried to have Payton say something more "socially acceptable" but it didn't have the same outcome as "POOP ROCKET"!
Cohen and Tessa are growing so fast. They are now 6 months!!! Tess is the busy-body and doesn't stop wiggling from the moment she wakes up. Cohen goes with the flow. He is sooooo easy going and hardly makes a peep, Tessa is either happy or really ticked off, there isn't an in between. She is rolling over both ways and scoots on her head. She arches her back, tips her head and pushes really hard with her feet and would go across the room if we'd let her. Cohen...well.... he just lays there with his arms out and smiles. He is really good at that. They both love food and Cohen is definately the bigger eater except anything green makes him gagg. Tessa loves the green stuff. They are complete opposites is MANY ways.
Tate is totally potty trained. He doesn't even wet at night or nap time. He just started over Christmas while we were snowed in. I wasn't totally ready for the whole potty training routine but he did it all on his own. Looking back I see it as a blessing in disguise. Now with a lot of the attention going to Payton I don't know when I would have gotten to it. He still is having major anxiety over doing "the duty". He starts running around in circles in a total panic, flapping his arms and crying. I have to pick him up and put him on the pot and let nature take control. He fights it as long as possible (usually a day or so).
Payton is doing great. His incision is healing really well and is hardly noticeable now that Payton picked the scab off. He has been having a really hard time sleeping since he came home from the hospital after his craniotomy. He worries about when the next doctor appointment is and is anxious about having his "power port" put in on Monday. I hesitate to ask for a med to put him on to help him sleep because I really don't want anymore drugs and aweful chemicals in his little body. Maybe his chemo will make him tired enough to help him sleep.
I don't know if anyone noticed but I added a link to a Caring Bridge site on the side of this blog. It is a site to keep everyone in the loop on his treatments and how he is doing. You can leave notes on the guestbook and I will read them to him. It is a great way for him to know people are thinking about him. They definately make him smile!!!

I love hearing Cohen giggle. I just want to reach through the screen and squeeze his legs:)
Way to go Tate, I need to get Bronson going with the whole potty training thing!
Tessa is as cute as ever!
I hope Payton can relax a little and get some rest! I'm sure he's stressed out about all that's happening with him right now:(

They are so big! Cohen is looking just like his brothers!
I was on Payton's care site and saw a comment from Shannon Staley a friend of ours from our previous ward. I have always been inspired by her and her amazing love and devotion to her sweet kiddos. She has been through plenty and it was shocking to find her there with Luke. We have not been in touch for a few years but I love her a miss her.
I'm glad you have her to talk to, she will be a strength. Hang in there you are in our prayers!
All I can say is........ beautiful.
