13 Months

He only LOOKS innocent!!!!



You'd never think that sweet little face would be into absolutely EVERYTHING :). Here are a few milestones!

Cohen loves to throw his food on the ground when he is finished eating....whatever food he doesn't want along with his plate.

He is walking like crazy...I mean he took his first steps a month ago...but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do it, and he really would only walk a couple feet to either me or Jerry...but since Sunday....He is relishing his new found perspective on life!




We have officially weaned him from the bottle....he has taken to his new cup pretty well...it's just that he doesn't want to drink as much it seems...which leaves me a little paranoid at times...ya know...considering my kid was dehydrated last month while in the hospital.



He loves to chase and be chased!

He has gotten 2 more teeth in...to make 6 total. That toothy grin melts my heart.It's annoying because he smiles constantly and yet to get an actual picture of him doing it these days is impossible!!! He gets too interested in the camera and the flash...that he just won't do it :) but trust me it is there and trust me,it makes you putty in his hands!

He has been such a cuddle bug lately...always wanting to rest on moms shoulder...I LOVE IT.

He has upgraded to a knew car seat and absolutely LOVES his new ride! He loves sitting face forward

Is giving kisses on request :). It's sweet...but if he won't give you a real kiss he'll blow you one.

He likes to bang his hand on his chest like he's "King of the Jungle" :). Loves rolling his hands to "Wheels on the Bus"....and is starting to wave bye bye with some encouragement...

He's an accident waiting to happen...with his new found walking skills that is...between the black eye last week and falling head first on the corner of the fridge...it's never a dull moment. Poor kid. But he's tough...he cries for a minute then brushes himself off and he's off again!












He loves to have long conversations with mom and dad...he has much to say....I just wish we knew WHAT he was saying :) ha ha. It's cute to watch him try.

He has a couple "buddies" His cousin Mia of course, his friend from church Judson, and it looks like in this picture he's puttin the moves on Little Maddie! (Her mom works in the orthodontic office that I work at) He certainly is a mondo flirt.



All in all things are getting interesting, and I am absolutely loving every second. He's so full of light and life and love, and I just thank my lucky stars every night that I was chosen to be his mama.

My Valentine


This is my hot hunk of a hubba Jerry :) . He is my love my, my light and my world. Valentines day has been kind of special for me because that is when Jerry proposed. An amazing memory. He took me to Lake Las Vegas and we were going to go ice skating but it was closed so we just walked around for awhile we stopped in the garden near the fire pit, and he gave me a big heart of Sees chocolate....well I was so stuffed from dinner that I didn't want any at the moment...but he kept saying eat one eat one...I said...Jerry I'm going to explode!! He said "I'll share one with you Shannon" I was like...okay, if it's that important to you... :)....I opened it and the box was in the middle..but it was black and it was dark outside so I didn't see it...and I said...okay which one do you want to split....he looked at me like I was retarded.....and picked up the box and put it in my hand and said..."This one"I was in awe...and he got on one knee..and said lots of really nice, cute things and made me feel as only he can make me feel...I cried like a lil' baby...and of course said yes...and here we are 3 years later , livin' and lovin':) He's an amazing husband, father...and best friend. I feel like I'm the luckiest girl on a planet to have found someone to love and be loved by. So completely. Happy Valentines Day baby!!! I love you.
