TWO???

Where did my baby go?

March 2014

Colorado snow march 2014

Your favorites...Grandpa and Ace

Such a good sleeper 8:30pm - 7am and one 2 hour nap a day

You are a shoe boy - you must have options and you must pick them...sigh

Lucky to have lunch with family a LOT of days.

We visit Ms. Susan and Mr. John every few months. ;-)

Cohen, you are TWO YEARS OLD!

Say WHAT?  How did that happen?  Seriously, yesterday you were here:

days old

weeks old

And now you here:?!?!

*These were taken by Dana Bustos, but Cohen had a high temp on that day..

I haven't kept up a few monthly posts because I knew we would just update your life in one giant happy birthday post (I'll keep telling myself that...)

Two year stats:
                Weight: 27 lbs (25-50%)
                 Height: 35 inches (75%)
                 Head: 48.5 (50%)
You have one set of molars, the eight front teeth and are STILL trying to cut your incisors.  You've always been slow on getting teeth ;-) The dentist says that just means you have healthier enamel, so we are ok with the delay.
*You are wearing 18-24 month clothes for the most part right now.  2T is still too long for you, but the pants fit around your cloth diapers a bit better than the 18 month ones.  PJs you are wearing bigger than 24 month (Carter)
*We are still cloth diapering full time and our favorites are the bum genius free times.  We do have to double stuff everything as you are growing, but hopefully we will be out of the diapers...soon..

Love to be nakey baby AND to read!

What you do:

You speak a ton of words.. a TON.  I'm afraid that you've gotten your talkativeness from your parents... some of the key phrases are below but you literally talk all the time.
I love you SO much
Mommy sit down
Bella and Olivia are outside
I'm hungry...eat!
Complete conversations about the Owl going to bed in a tree outside...
You name our house, Cici's house and 'mommy's church'

You love your teachers at school (this was May 2014)

Favorite foods: Oatmeal in the mornings (or paleo pancakes with maple syrup), chocolate shakeology (you won't touch the other flavors!), fruit snacks, baby cheetos, orange bell peppers/snow peas and hummus, anything peanut butter and chicken (esp if its chickfila - haha!) You love carbohydrates and raisins, and you have started to drink some chocolate milk.  We are going to get you tested for dairy allergies this month ;-(

Favorite toys/things to do:
Stairs, Outside, Bicycle, Baby Ace and Aunt Audrey, Books, Coloring  (your handwriting is small when you are using a pen and large when its markers or paint!), you like to jump, climb and explore everything around you.  You talk about airplanes and cars and biiiig trucks in the car while we run errands around town.

Love LOVE living so close to my parents that we make this walk pretty regularly.

Independent and like to put on your own shoes.

You and daddy get special time most evenings for bath and bedtime. You decide whether you want bubbles or not ;-)

Guess who loves his daddy?

You've had an interest in potty training and we have had the best time with peeing outside on the grass, on the patio, on the stairs.  Right now I think its more of a game, but as you get older we are going to try the mickey mouse potty FOR REAL.

This has been a fun year to watch you grow into a little person.  Despite your stubbornness and tantrums, you have a happy disposition.  You are so social and love to be the center of attention.  Cohen we love you soooooo much.
