Cohen's 1st Birthday!

Cohen is one year old . . . where has the time gone! I feel like it was just yesterday that Mike and I were headed to the hospital at 6:30 in the morning and welcomed our little bundle of joy a few hours later! We had a wonderful birthday celebration . . . my mom flew in for the occassion and a few extra days. We had a KU themed party, with a bucket hat (since he hates any other types of hats), cake, bbq, and lots of new toys! Here are some pics of the day:
A few days later, Cohen had his 1 year appointment with the pediatrician. No fun because he had 4 shots and his finger pricked to be checked for anemia (which apparently they do at 9 or 12 months). He was a trooper and cried briefly while being poked, but calmed immediately once I picked him up! His stats are: 30.5 inches (73 %), 22 lbs and 11 oz (49%), and 17.5 inches head circ (6%)!

Some new things that Cohen is doing lately is:
* Car seat is now forward facing
* Says "woof woof" (kind of) and really says that for any animal
* Blows kisses
* Wiggles his fingers in him mouth when we say "brush teeth"
* Drinking all whole milk . . . no more formula!
* Eats very well, breakfast is his favorite meal
* Walking like a champ, holds his hands up like he is "under arrest" :-)
* Still loves peek-a-boo
* Holds his hand up to his ear when he hears the phone ring or I am on the phone
* Gets grumpy when I take something away from him that he's not supposed to have
* Whenever he hears patty cake, he immediately claps his hands
* Still loves reading books, he would sit all day and do it. Goes to bed with a book and wakes up and reads for a few minutes before he is ready for me to come get him!
* Hates wearing shoes. Really working on it, since walking outside so much right now

So many changes . . .

I can't believe how much Cohen has changed in just the last month of being in Kansas!! Some new things he is up to:

* Walking - took about 15 steps on August 28th and hasn't stopped since then!
* Loves to play peek-a-boo
* Fake laughs all the time - if he sees Mike or I laugh he will too
* Drinking whole regular milk . . . NO more formula! YEAH!!
* Loves to snack, breakfast is his favorite meal!
* He could read all day. Loves to read before bed time, nap time and all the time in between. Goes to bed with a book too!

His 1st birthday is right around the corner! Will definitely have a new post with details and pictures after that!
