Scavenger Hunt

We had a scavenger hunt in the backyard for the big kids.  They had to find 9 different items and collect them in their buckets.  The game was a big hit.

Mike is checking their buckets to make sure they got all the items so they could collect their prizes.

Ayla joined in the fun by running around the backyard with her bucket.  She didn't know what the other kids were doing, but she was just happy to be out there with them.

Decorating Cupcakes

The big kids decorated their own cupcakes.

Happy First Birthday Cohen!

We had a great time celebrating Cohen's first birthday on Saturday with our family.  Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate and for spoiling Cohen with such generous gifts.  He's a lucky boy to have such an amazing family.


Here's the birthday boy!

Waiting for his cake.

Not sure what to think of the cake.

He had a little taste, but didn't want to eat it (after Mommy went to all the trouble to make a special cake just for him....I'll remember this for next year's party!).

His big cousins helped him open his presents

The new toys were okay, but the wrapping paper was awesome!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little guy!   You came into our lives one year ago and it has been the most amazing year to watch you grow and develop from a newborn into an infant and now a toddler.  We love you so much and can't wait to see what's in store next!

This past month has been another busy one and we've hit another major milestone.  Cohen is now walking (he took his first steps on Daddy's birthday).  He's extremely busy and likes to take items out of and then put them back into containers.  He has started dancing when he hears music.  So far he doesn't have much rhythm, but it's awfully cute to watch.  He also waves hello and good bye.  His favorite toys continue to be any type of ball and anything with wheels.  He still does not have any words, but he makes a "vroom vroom" sound when playing with cars.
