Tow-Tow Monster

The second time around is such fun. HECTIC. But fun.

Here's the reason why...

You forget how many 'firsts' there are, and then when you see one you get to marvel at how amazing your little one is... then remember the time that the oldest did that very same thing... then remember how time goes by so fast... and so you marvel again at how wonderfully talented your little one is!

So, here are a few big firsts...

A few days before New Years Cohen had his first (not gas) smile. And he's been smiling ever since.

Here are just a few of those many smiles!

We had our first of many, sleeping 6 hours straight during the night on the 26th of January.

Because we were so happy to finally get some good sleep, Cohen started laughing on the 30th of January. (Not yet caught on video.)

These next few things are not firsts, they are just my cute Tow Man!

Looking at himself in the mirror.

Talking.

Standing and getting his exercise.

Holding on to things and eating them!

Holding up his head.

These last few tidbits I cannot call cute, but they are worth writing about.

Our Tow Tow is a tooter. You read it right, he is full of gas. He reminds me of Pumbaa (from the Lion King) his toots are so loud and grown-up sounding, many times it startles me.

We are so lucky to have a hot tub that we can go swimming in, in the middle of winter. So here is a picture of Cohen going swimming for the first time. He LOVED it!

But I think it is because he loves water... even his tubbies are fun!

We also had a free session with the hospital photographers and we got a few cute pictures. I also made sure we got a few of Cohen in his blessing outfit that his Great Grandma Levie gave him.

Cohen was blessed on January 16th by his Daddy. Tim gave him a beautiful blessing! We spent the rest of the day with our family who came from all over to support us and be there for Cohen's special day. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family!
