~Our Family Adventures~

Coen's first birthday!

Well, our little man is now one and growing up so fast. It just doesn't seem as if a year has gone by already. We had a big celebration with some good chicken stew & lots of family & friends. I think the best part of Coen's big day was watching him dig into his cake. I was hoping he would get messy with it and that he did. Here are lots pictures.

Ravioli!

Coen is becoming very independent these days. I tried feeding him ravioli the other night & he just wasn't having it. He wanted to do it himself, So I gave him his spoon & let him have it. It is obvious that he would rather use his hands than the spoon. He made a huge mess, but he was having fun & ate all of his dinner. Here are a few pictures of him after he was finished eating.

Jonathan's Birthday!

We celebrated Jonathan's 26th birthday Friday night. Here are a few pictures.

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.
