Ila is not quite crawling yet, but she has developed her own way to get to where she wants to go.  Also listen for Nicole saying Ila’s name in the background.

Sorry to those who may be tired of our recent video dump, but I just can’t help but post two more that I took today. 
Here is a video of Charlotte singing a song about Ila while Ila accompanies her on the rattle:

And here’s a video of Ila laughing:

Lets face it, that hour of Sacrament meeting is challenging on Sunday morning when you have young children, possibly when you have older children too, but I don’t know about that yet.  I spend a lot of time and energy fretting about how I can keep my children in their seats behaving well and [...]

We’ve been on the phone detailing injuries to families for the last few days, but I know we have some close friends and family members who get their updates here, so for the benefit of them and for our written record, I will write the details of the injuries sustained during our car accident on [...]

Note: I know it’s probably a little gauche to blog so soon after an event like this.  However, I want to get my feelings sorted out and writing is a good method.  Might as well update everyone while I’m at it.
I left the house this morning in a somewhat grumpy rush.  Often I’ll forget my [...]

I reflected back to July 4, 2004 during testimony meeting today.  That year, the 4th also fell on a Sunday, it was when Zach blessed our first Child. 
Our celebrating mostly took place on July 3rd this year.
Video = While throwing Snaps, Isaac shows off his missing tooth, Jackson shows off something else.

We lit sparklers [...]

Does this count as a first word?  She has to use her fist to say it, but it’s clearly mama!

Nicole has been walking into the living room wearing other people’s shoes so frequently, that I thought she might enjoy playing with the dress-ups.
She put everything she could possibly put on, notice how she is trying to pick up a 3rd glove to put on.Once she was all decked out, she didn’t smile [...]

Six months old seems like the turning point for so many things.  I started Ila on solids which she hated initially.  She had the worst reaction of any of my kids.  She’d scream every time I tried to give her a bite and stop screaming when I was not trying to feed her solids.  I [...]

I don’t know if this is a particularly unique thing or if I’ve just never noticed it in my other children, but when Ila is laying on her back and I give her a toy, she’ll play with it in her hands then transfer it to her feet and hold it with her feet.  I [...]

This is my first attempt to post a video that I uploaded to YouTube.  In the video, Ila is squeaking, smiling, and “talking.”  I think she’s adorable, but you can see for yourself.

Charlotte:  Sometimes Ila looks like me.  She looks like me when we both wear our kitty pajamas.  Do you think you might not be able to tell us apart when we are both wearing our kitty pajamas?

My girls love to help me bathe their baby sister.  If Nicole hears me mention that Ila needs to have a bath, she’ll run into the kitchen and pull a chair up to the counter by the sink.

We had an assignment on the Cochran family blog to write about what inspired the choices we made in naming our children so I thought I’d share what I wrote here as well.  What I thought would be a short post, turned into a rather long one.
Our first boy was going to be David Hyrum [...]

I previewed a room transition that we had started, but it didn’t go as planned so we had to change things around a few times to get it right, but I think we’re finally settled.  For the sake of family history, I will be thorough, so this might be a long one.
My late nights were [...]
