One Year Old

Cohen, you've come a long way in one year!


At 7:44 pm on December 6, 2008, our lives became complete when Cohen came into this world. The past year has been amazing to say the least, and each day brings new excitement. We couldn't have been blessed with a sweeter, more perfect baby boy. Cohen, we love every single ounce of you...here are some of my favorite things.

• the way you share everything - food, your Stanley blanket
• the way you will spot me across a room, crawl over and give me the biggest hug
• the way you clap and wave
• your teeth
• your smile
• you hair
  
• the way you try to escape your room when you realize it's nap time
• the way you kick, squeal and smile when I get you out of the car seat
• the way you shake your head when you know you're doing something you're not supposed to
• the way you love and hug Grady and Hank, your "brothers"
• the way you crawl up my leg when you want me to hold you
• the way you get excited when I brush my teeth and have to hold on to the toothbrush with me
• the way you get excited right before a bath and crawl all around the house in your birthday suit - naked baby on the loose
• the way you love your friends and always want to give hugs
• your sweet giggle
• the way you clear bookshelves
• the way you hug your stuffed animals
• the way you kick and squeal when dad comes home from work
• the way you are fearless at the park, going face first down the "big slide"
• the way you play with my eyelashes, giggle and climb up me when I'm trying to put you to bed
• your amazingly sweet heart and personality

Thanks for the best year of our lives! We can't wait to see what you have in store for us this next year.
