11 Months Old!

Cohen is 11 months old today and I just cannot believe it! It has been almost a year! Hands down the fastest year of my life.

I could just eat up my baby boy! He is such a lover, always giving kisses. Despite his early months, he is super happy most of the time, except when we are at church. What can I say, he just misses me those three hours! Besides church, smiles all day long.

Right now Cohen likes:

• Any solid food I will give him- having ZERO teeth doesn't stop him one bit!
• Drinking out of a glass
• Laughing at his big brother
• Moving any way he can- he took his first steps yesterday! Yep! Walked about three steps from the couch to daddy!
• Bath time with his brother
• His crib- part of the problem with church...his bed is not there.
• Any electronic device- put away your computers! Whenever he goes near mine keys go flying. I don't know how he does it, but he touches the keyboard in such a way that breaks the keys right off.

Cohen does not like:

• Red lights
• Holding still
• Letting go of things
• Helping you when you hold him- he prefers to hang limp as you struggle to keep him on your hip

I love my tough guy!

Unbelievable!!

If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have believed it myself! I promise this is 100% true, not exaggerated, and I really really wish that I had videotaped it so we could've won $25,000 from America's Funniest Home Videos....

We were all in the living room last night, just hanging out. Kent, Cohen and I were playing on the floor and Pete was laughing at us on the couch. I was laying on the floor exhausted from being climbed all over, with Kent still on top of me. Cohen was all wound up and doing his little hopping thing- he will either get on his knees and hop up and down, throwing his arms up in the air or get his feet up underneath him like he's squatting and hop like a frog. He was doing the first version and laughing pretty hard so we were watching him, entertained by all his cuteness. All the sudden, mid hop, Cohen got his feet underneath him and jumped up to a STANDING position. He stood up, completely unassisted from a sitting position, in the middle of the room. We were all in a state of shock, expecially Cohen. He stood there for about 4 full seconds with his arms flung out and his knees wobbling, laughing hysterically. He looked like he was surfing! A little 10 month old surfer. We all had our mouths wide open- Kent included. Then, Cohen tried to take a step forward and fell to his knees.

Who is this crazy kid!?
