Life with Cohen

Our little boy {Co-Co Bugs, Co-Dog, Bugaboo, Baby-Co, just to name a few of his many nicknames} one week old.

It's hard work being a big sister... Tatum and Cohen take a quick snooze together on the couch.

Cohen's Big Entrance

Our family has joyfully welcomed our newest addition, Cohen Kent Nelson. He is such a sweet snugly little guy and we can't get enough of him.

He had a rough labor (so did mom). He was very cut up and bruised. My water broke at 3am Saturday morning, but I wasn't having contractions, so we took our sweet time getting out of the house. A few minutes away from the hospital, I started having horrific contractions. We parked the car around 3:40 and I knew the baby was coming...NOW!! We hobbled into the hospital and had the baby at 3:54 just in time to get in a bed. It was anything but boring, I am glad Ryan didn't have to test out his ob skills.

The proud siblings showed up a few ours later. Tatum was instantly in love with her new little brother. Lyric had some fun poking and prodding.

Davis came into the delivery room, ran right past his little brother to the table, and exclaimed, "Oh a muffin!" After consuming my muffin he came over for a quick introduction to his little brother.

Happy Fourth

Pretend City

Seaworld

We ventured down to San Diego with the Thompson's for some Seaworld fun... and to (unsuccessfully) induce labor.


We were a little disappointed in the Shamu show. The trainers don't get in the water anymore... seriously, what are they afraid of???


The is as close as Lyric is getting to the bat rays.

Looking for eels


Lyric wanted to keep a starfish and kept pulling it out of the water. Mark us down for starfish abuse.

I sat this one out.
