lou'vlle continued...

well it seems oh so long ago now, but i never got around to telling you all about my trip to louisville to hang out with all my cousins and aunts and uncles and grandma jane. this is all of us together at the track. aunt kristen is schooling us early on how to gamble, cause she's cool like that.

i've got so many pictures from the trip, i'm going to give you seven more posts today! that should get you through the next week while we're away at the cottage with no internet service for blogging!

booty and the hand

this guy holding me is known as booty

i'm not sure why, maybe its because of the tshirt

i'll have to ask papa for more details...i think it has something to do with some monkhood playgroup papa and booty were linked to back in the day

speaking of back in the day...

question for all my readers what color is the chair we are sitting on?

papa keeps telling me its yellow but everyone else says it green.

This Is What It Feels Like to Be a Hot Girl

J said he now knows what it feels like to be a hot girl because when he's carrying Ollie, it's so adorable that everyone turns and stares at him. 

amber and joe visited!

amber made me laugh.

like always.

i was a little unsure about joe at first.

but i warmed right up to him real quick and was soon licking his shirt.

Montage!

Some Mama and Ollie Time
 

north carolina part iii

north carolina seems to be a goldmine of people to love on me.
i also got to see my grandma ruthie and grandpa david again.

this is grandma ruthie and me the first time i met her when i was a week old.

and this is us 16 weeks later. i got a little bigger, don'tcha think?

i was so lucky i actually got to see my grandpa david and grandma ruthie two weekends in a row! they came to new york the week before for a jewelry show at lincoln center. i think they were just using it as an excuse to visit me. and i ain't complainin'!

except when i'm complainin'. and then everyone just mocks me.

north carolina part ii

when we were down in north carolina, i also got to see my poppy again. we took a picture of the three generations of cohen men. i'm a little scared of my future. i'm not sure how i'll look with one of those beards.

i also got to meet my nana, who like all good nanas was a pro at lovin' on me.

best of all, i met my cousin brooke. finally a cousin that i'm older than! only by 2 months, but still... i'm really looking forward to when we're older and can really play together.

Ooooooooooooooooooommmmmm...

I was doing yoga every week while I was pregnant and thought that maybe Ollie would enjoy some OMs and relaxing meditation time. Here's how that worked out for us:

Random Cuteness

 

 

who's that cute girl?

this is my new girlfriend zadia. we have a lot in common. we're both babies. we both like chewing on our fists. a match made in heaven. but even though we've already met each other's parents, we're taking things slow.

Seriously, Listen to Me!

Ollie Found His Outside Voice

that's great!

one of the highlights of the carolina leg of the ollie z tour was the opportunity i had to meet my great grandparents

this is me meeting my great grandma

she had the the opportunity to tell my folks in person that it was about time they had a kid!

boy was she right!

this is me meeting my great grandpa

he was all smiles.. i was too...except for this one sec

probably because i realized it was nap time

Drool Monster

Ollie is a giant drool monster these days.

We're all soaking wet pretty much all the time.


He manufactures drool like it's his job. And he seems to have a lot of fun doing it.

Big Day! (or Night)

Ollie's been growing a lot over the past few months.

He's out-growing his bassinet, 

and his swaddle.

So this weekend, Papa put together the crib and Ollie moved from his bassinet next to our bed into his very own room (and bigger swaddle) where he'll have plenty of room to grow. He seems to love it and slept in until 8:30 the very first morning. (Which was nice for Mama since she was up all night worrying about whether he was okay in his very own big boy room.)

to the races

chillin in cobble hill
