From 1 year

Cohen is becoming quite the little charmer these days. He loves people, especially "his" people like G-ma x2, G-pa, Ethan, Olivia, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Chris...etc. His little face lights up and his lips pucker up for a kiss. He is a very good kisser, too. Not too many more open mouth kisses :) Cohen is also climbing everything. His right leg props up on everything and he is able to use toys, shoes, or the ottoman to get to where he wants to go. The other day Chris and I turned around to find him sitting on a folding chair...we couldn't believe it. (of course he pulls himself onto the most dangerous chair in the house). He is also a "reacher." Nothing is safe anymore. With arms stretched as high as he can reach and toes fully extended he can get a lot of things off the counter. It is so funny to watch because he'll run his hands along the perimeter until he finds something.
Cohen also has a lot to say...unfortunately we have no idea what he is saying but he is very passionate about a lot of things (from the tone of his voice and his facial expressions). We can't wait for some more detectable words :)
That's it for now :) Smiles
