Happy 1st Birthday to you!

It is so hard to believe that my little man is already 1 year old! This year has flown by and now I can't imagine what our lives were like before he came along. He's such a sweet, funny little baby. He's quick to laugh, he doesn't cry often, (unless he's forced to sit in a shopping cart, which is his least favorite thing ever!) he eats like a horse, loves to play peek-a-boo, dances when any kind of music comes on, he crawls up our stairs before I can blink an eye and he happens to have the longest eyelashes ever! I was a bit worried when I found out we were having a boy. I grew up in a family of all girls and wasn't sure if I would know how to handle a boy. That all changed the second he was born, I was absolutely in love! He has brought so much joy into our home from the moment he arrived! Here is Cohen's first year in pictures...

Wow! This really shows how truly crazy much they change in that first year. It also makes me excited for Anders to reach that point. It is so funb when they are mobile and interacting like they think they are real people. :)

I still think he looks exactly the same as he did as a tiny baby! Sure, he's gotten bigger, but he looks just like himself, as cute as ever!
