So I can see how the title of the blog could be misleading and I guess some people could be diappointed if they end up here accidentally!! Since my life basically revolves around my baby boy, I imagine that most of my posts will be about the funny things he does and says and "hot baby" is just one of them...but more about that later! The people who know me best can tell you that one of my best, worst and most annoying qualities is the fact that I am a perfectionist. Unfortunately, I fall short in the area of technology and computers so the fact that I would even attempt a blog is almost ridiculous! So I'll do my best and those of you who "follow" my blog will either get to laugh at my posts or laugh at my lack of computer skills...either way I hope you laugh! Those who follow my blog will need to have a few qualifications....mainly spare time and patience. I tend to ramble and I warn you that I remember seeing red ink on many papers and projects in school with the words "be more concise" or "too wordy." In real life, I am a very quiet person - I'm not a fan of people who talk just to hear themselves talk and I would rather wait until I have something really good to say. So just like in real life, I promise not to post anything unless it's really good - it might take me awhile to get to it, but there will always be a point and so it will hopefully be worth the wait. And obviously my very first post is a good example!!
So back to that one hot baby! Since Cohen was born 17 months ago, my days, minutes and seconds have consisted of finding ways to make him smile and laugh. He is now beginning to return the favor because there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't make us smile and laugh! In my book, this means that we are raising him right because I consider these to be two of the most important things in life. I rarely take anything seriously...I do not believe in "drama"...I can't stand Eyore from Winne the Pooh...I was voted "Prettiest Smile" in my senior class...one of my favorite quotes of all times is from Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias: "Smile - it increases your face value." So following in my footsteps, here are some of the ways that Cohen is currently make us smile....
"Hot baby": Cohen stays with Jeff's parents four days a week. When Cohen tries to touch things that could burn him like the stove, Jeff's mom says "hot burn the baby." Cohen has abbreviated this to "hot baby" which he now says many times a day...things like pots on the stove, nuggets out of the microwave and the bath water are all "hot baby!"
"Da-da" confusion: For a few months now, Cohen has referred to any man that he encounters as "da-da." This had included Cee-Lo Green, a Neo-Nazi on Gangland and, most recently, Taye Diggs. You can imagine how awkward this "da-da" confusion can be in public when Jeff is not with us! Besides being unsure as to who is "real" da-da is, Cohen now seems to be confused as to what he should call Jeff. This week he has started calling him "Da-Da B," which at times is also pronounced as "Dadaby" and sounds similar to wallaby. We really have no idea where this came from or what it means, but I told Jeff that it's because Cohen has another da-da and his name is "Da-Da A"....Jeff was not amused!!
I hope you'll stay tuned for more funny stories from my sweet little comedian!
