So sleepy

This is what happens when you are to exhausted to eat lunch.

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day & we want to thank everyone for all of Coen's Valentine gifts. They are very appreciated. I did take some pictures of Coen opening his package that his Grammy sent him through the mail since she was going to be out of town. In the package was 2 chocolate monkey faces. They were cute and very tasty too. Thanks Grammy!

I got surprised with a bouquet of flowers at work on Friday & on Valentine's Day I received a beautiful key shaped necklace with white & black diamonds in it. I loved it! Jonathan, thanks for making my Valentine's Day special. You are always putting a smile on my face & you hold the key to my heart. I love you!

ABC......

Here's Coen saying his Abc's. We have been practicing them almost every night before bed time. As for the hat, I found it laying in his closet when I cleaned it out & he wanted to wear it.

My little lion

Here is Coen using his hooded towel made to look like a lion. He got this as a gift last Christmas (2008-his first Christmas). He is now finally big enough to use it. I thought it was cute and had to get a picture. He really liked it tonight after his bath so I'm probably going to try to find him some more of these cute towels but different animals. Hum....I wonder if I could find an Elmo one since he is an Elmo fan.

Coen's 2 year check up

Today Coen went to the doctor for a 2 year wellness visit. Everything went well and he is very healthy. He weighed in at 32 pounds & was 36 1/2 inches long. He was in the 97th percentile in height & 78th percentile in weight.

Happy Birthday Coen!

This past Saturday we celebrated Coen's 2nd birthday! It was a great day and we are glad that our family & friends were there to make it special for Coen. On Monday, Coen's actual birthday we took him to Chucky Cheese for some pizza & games. He had a great time!

Jonathan & I got Coen a radio flyer tricycle for his birthday. When he opened it up & saw what it was he got super excited. It was cute & so funny. Take a look at the video.

Another Year Older.....

Well, the time has come again & January 25th is just around the corner. My baby boy will soon be the big 2! This year Coen will be having an ELMO party. We were at the Card Factory yesterday picking up some stuff & Coen spots a huge gift bag with Elmo on it. So he starts shouting "ELMO" but Coen pronounces it "MAILMO". He's so cute! I'm a little emotional just because he's growing up so fast. I was looking back at some of his baby pictures and oh how I miss all his fat rolls he had. Now he is tall & slender. Here are just a few of my favorites of him as a baby. No matter how old he will be he will ALWAYS be my baby boy.

Coen's love for Elmo

Over the last 3 to 4 months Coen has grown to love Elmo. He ended up getting 3 Elmo's for Christmas & luckily all of them are different from each other. He normally only sleeps with one but tonight he had to have all 3 in bed with him. Here is a picture I took of him after he fell a sleep.

Tool time!

Here's a couple of pictures of Coen & Jonathan playing with the tools Coen got for Christmas. There like two peas in a pod. Your such a good sport babe!


I should never have any problems finding a handy man for repairs....I've got 2 of them!
