Coen's first steps

Coen has accomplished another milestone. He walked last night for the first time. We were watching tv last night & he was playing in the floor like any other night. Then, all of a sudden Coen takes 4 to 5 steps away from the couch to the middle of the floor. Jonathan & I looked at each other & said "he just walked". So, we would place him beside the couch standing up & back away & then he would walk to us. I give him a couple of weeks & he will probably be walking everywhere. We are so proud of Coen.

Coen's Appliance Service

Need an appliance fixed..... you can count on Coen to get the job done. Just call 1-800-650-BABY for fast and same day service.

Oh Christmas Tree

Since I was a child, my family has always gone to the mountains to get a Christmas tree. It is one of many memories I will always remember about Christmas. So, Jonathan & I have continued this tradition every year. It is a tradition that I would like to continue with Coen too. Here are some pictures of our trip & Coen's first time to the mountains to pick out a tree.

Thanksgiving at daycare

Coen's daycare provided a Thanksgiving lunch for all the children at the center and all of the parents too. There were a lot of turkeys cooked because there were a lot of people there. They served turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, roll and strawberry shortcake. It was very yummy. Coen really like it too. Here are some pictures.
