Loves the Barney song "I Love You" and gives you a kiss at the approprate part of the song

Says "baby" in a sweet little voice and turns his head (I must do that a lot when I see babies)

And many, many more!

In the last few weeks, have spent a lot of time at the pool, parks, and always wanting to play outside!

Very good with the body parts and loves singing "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider"!

You can now have a full on conversation with Cohen - it completely amazes me. Sometimes there is a lot of questions have you have to ask him to get to your end result, but he will answer you as best he can. Say yes and no for things he does or does not want or will work hard on learning or saying the word. It is truly incredible how different he is in his communication in just the last month.

We went to the ENT last week to get Cohen's ears checked as he unfortunately had his 6th ear infection in the last 10 months. And we have come to the conclusion that he will/should get tubes in his ears. This is a VERY simple procedure - in and out within an hour and back to 100% and normal activity the next day. The gas him to put him a sleep and put tubes in his ear where there is a little hole which helps to drain any fluid that may build in his ear drums which then would come infected. The tubes fall out when his ears are fully developed (usually at about 2 1/2 years old). We are looking forward to NO MORE EAR INFECTIONS as it has been a long year with lots of trips to the doctors!! We will be doing this procedure on tomorrow (Thursday) morning. Will send an update once we are all done.

Also, will post some new pictures with that update!
