Cohen turns 2!

I cannot believe Cohen is 2 years old, he still feels like my little baby! As excited as I am to have baby #2 in a few weeks, I can't help but feel a little sad knowing Cohen will no longer be the baby of the family.
Cohen is such a funny little guy, he has such a sweet personality and a great sense of humor! There are so many things I want to remember about this crazy 2 year old :)

-He is very independent, always trying to do everything by himself. He is constantly telling us to "go" (go away) if he doesn't want our help
-He has recently decided he likes to pee on the potty, I'm definitely not ready to potty train though!
-He is becoming a little chatter box! He is adding new words to his vocabulary everyday, but still speaks really good gibberish! My absolute favorite is when he says "Love you"
-He is very generous with kisses and hugs! I sure hope he stays that way :)
-He loves to wrestle, run around and be tickled...especially by his dad!
-His favorite TV show is Dora and would probably watch it all day if I let him.
-He is a great little helper. He always puts his dirty clothes in the hamper. Brings me the phone when it rings(even when I'm in the shower). I can't do anything in the kitchen without him dragging a chair over to help.
-He has a very big sweet tooth just like his parents.
-It took him till he was 18 months, but he is now a great napper. I can usually get 2-3 hours in the afternoon(I'm really hoping that sticks when the baby comes)

We just can't get enough of this boy...we love him to pieces! Here's to hoping the terrible 2's stay away for ever!

He's getting so big!

Feeling a little guilty??

Patiently waiting for his cake

Present time!

Cake with the cousins

Halloween

I know, I know...Halloween was months ago, but I am very behind!
We carved a pumpkin with Cohen, but he wanted nothing to do with the gooey stuff inside. He loved the pumpkin when it was all done and lit up with a candle though!






We went to Marcus' Halloween themed birthday party that Friday. Everyone got all dressed up and had a great time! Cohen sported 2 Halloween costumes this year. The first one was for Marcus' party. Drew says it was cruel for me to make my little boy wear a pink poodle costume, but I thought it was pretty funny! Hopefully Cohen will forgive me :) We put his real costume on the next day for trick or treating and he made a really cute shark!

Summer...we miss you!

I failed big time at getting caught up by Christmas, but better late than never! Mat is back in Medicine Hat for the next 8 weeks finishing his last year of school. I am so excited for him to finally be done! My nights are pretty uneventful once Cohen goes to bed, so time to catch up on the blog!

We had a great summer even if it was way too short! We had a lot of rain this summer, and there was never a lack of wind in Lethbridge. But we tried to take advantage of the nice days we did get.

We spent a lot of time out at the pool.


We made it down to Echo Lake a few times this summer. We love it there and Cohen had so much fun trying to keep up with all his cousins!


He actually wanted to get in the lake with us!

Catch Up Time!

It had been way too long since I have posted...I actually thought I might of forgot how! Wow, has time been flying by lately. I am going to have a 2 year old in 1 week and a brand new baby in 3 months, crazy!!! My goal is to get caught up before Christmas, stay tuned!

Fun in the tub??

Cohen leaned a little too far over the edge of the tub as it was filling up...oops! Those toys in the tub were just too tempting...he had to have them! He was so not impressed...that may have had something to do with me grabbing the camera before I grabbed him :)

I wonder if I could fit in this...

I'm not to sure why Cohen thinks he needs to climb inside everything that looks remotely his size. It's pretty funny though...that is until he trips over, falls out off or gets stuck in it!

We love this little guy!

Nicki took these pictures of Cohen in February. I thought it was about time I shared them! Cohen is going on 16 months and is growing like a weed. It seems like everyday I have to move things farther back on the table, desk or dresser so he can't reach his little paws up there and pull everything down. I am amazed at how good his memory is...he always seems to remember where I hide my treats, I can't sneak anything by him anymore!

I can't wait for the nice weather to stick around. Cohen loves going outside, and has already enjoyed a few nice days at the park. He is going to be so much fun this summer! Cohen finally got his 7th tooth a couple weeks ago, I wish the rest would just come and get it over with!

We reached a HUGE milestone this week...Cohen is sleeping through the whole night!! It has been a whole week of me not getting out of bed till morning. I started to think this day would never come.

Life just couldn't get any better right now, we are crazy in love with this little guy!!
