17 Months Old!

This is a picture of Cohen at our "4th of July" Celebrations. The volunteer fire department had like 4 trucks there and were sprayin everyone with hoses. I wasn't so sure how Cohen would like it...being that at the park near us there is a fun water spot where it shoots out of the ground and there are things that spray at you, he loved to go close...but once he saw the water was about to touch him, he ran away laughing. Well this time....he was runnin through that hose so fast!! He was drenched and loving every second of the chaos around him! I wish we got more shots of that...but trust me it was the cutest and funniest thing you have ever seen in your life!

Things Cohen Says:

Mom, Dada, Mama, Diaper, Soft, Shoes , "guck" (meaning "TRUCK), Up,"a-meh" (meaning "Amen"), Hi, Bye, Hot, Stop, "un" (meaning "One") and Ouch...His Grandpa Moser said that he heard him say "ni-night" last night. I didn't hear it, DANG IT!

It is funny because we have been teaching Cohen to be "Soft" so when we remind him...he takes his hand and rubs your cheek lightly and says "ssooooooooft" He was doing it to Madelyn last night and he just warms my lil heart!!

Grandma Skinner was trying to teach Cohen how old he is via Skype, For those of you that don't know it's a free way to call someone through your computer...but you can talk face to face to the person you are speaking to...so being that my side of the family lives forever away in Fl., we chat that way so they can see Cohen from time to time......Well....she would as "Cohen, How old are you?" and she'd yell "ONE" and raise her finger....well a few days later I asked him , just curious if he remembered or was payin attention....sure enough he put his one finger up and said "UN!" at the top of his lungs :) it was cute.

Songs Cohen Sings:

Since Jerry was in the Wizard of Oz, all throughout the house, all we here is "Oh-EEE-Oh, oOOOooh" It's so funny. He loves the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" And loves to make my hands clap in the Monkey and Aligator song.

Cohen has gone a whole month without getting SICK!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!

We did have a bit of scary experience though....Cohen went down for a nap, and managed to get to one of the picture frames and it shattered in his crib. My father in law found him and there was blood soaked through the sheets and on his toy that sings him to sleep.....Ran to grab my husband...and so so sad. We were SO lucky that it only took a little chunk of his finger and a little cut on his foot and not a chunk of an ARTERY or that he didn't try to swallow it...but he is okay now....we just felt super bad because we wern't sure if it happened before or after his nap...because he fusses before he goes to sleep anyway....I felt so sick.

He has learned to climb on things to get to OTHER things that he wants. He's a mischievious little guy that is for sure.

I found him in the bathroom one day putting the roll of toilet paper along with like 5 toys in the toilet!

He will point to his nose, eyes, mouth, ears, head, and toes on request (We're workin on the belly button!)

His favorite books- Bubbles Bubbles (Elmo)
