Cohen's First Chritmas

Our little Santa Cohen had his first Christmas. He didn't have any idea what was going on, but he loved all the attention and toys! Santa must have known he had been a good boy because this little man got spoiled!!! I truly didn't think we bought that much, but when you combined it with all his gifts from family, he got way too much. Yesterday, Tyler and I had to buy him a shelf full of baskets to store all his new toys and books. I have to say this Christmas has been one of the best. Tyler and I both commented on how much fun it is to have Cohen. Usually after we open gifts, all the fun and excitement is gone, but this year it wasn't like that. We couldn't wait to let Cohen just play all day with his gifts and watch his cute facial expressions.

Chewing on the paper and my necklace were way more interesting then all his toys as you can see!

He shoots...and he scores!

Santa Claus, Temple Square, and Seven Months

On Monday, Santa Claus and Cohen visited my school. I think my students were more excited to see Baby Cohen than Santa Claus though! The kids were so cute. One little boy said Cohen was acting shy like him. Little did he know that all Cohen needed was a little attention and his shyness went right away. Cohen adored all the students and loved laughing for them. He is my little entertainer!

Over the weekend, we spent some time in Salt Lake City. We went and saw Music and the Spoken Word. Cohen had an absolute ball. They send you to the Theater Room at the Conference Center if you have children under 8 years old. It was perfect. Cohen was able to talk and play during the whole performance. His favorite part was hearing all the bells. Tyler and I loved watching his facial expressions during the songs. Of course, our next favorite part of the trip was Sunday Brunch at Little America. It was delicious as usual even though it was extremely busy!

These next pictures are some fun ones I took of Cohen the other night. Our little guy is seven months! I have decided his smile has changed now that he has his first tooth. He likes to smile to show it off. Are you surprised?

I don't know why, but I just LOVE this picture of him! It makes me smile.

Happy Holidays!

I'll I want for Christmas is...

I'll I want for Christmas is...my two front teeth! Cohen is officially half way to getting his two front teeth for Christmas. I felt like a horrible mom last week when Tyler and I got a call from Tyler's mom. She asked if we had noticed that Cohen had gotten a tooth. Apparently, sometime from Friday night to Saturday, Cohen decided it was time for a tooth. I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed. I was so excited with the news. Our baby boy is growing up. Lately, Tyler and I have been going through old pictures of Cohen. He still looks the same, but as he gets older, his pictures are so FULL of personality. I have never met a baby that loves to entertain people more than he does. When we were in church on Sunday, he "sang" so loudly during the opening song that I thought Tyler was going to have to take him out. Cohen is a little chatterbox. He must have gotten that trait from Tyler! I am so thankful that we have this wonderful boy. I can't help but drop everything I am doing and play with him. I can't wait until Christmas break so I can be home with him for almost 2 weeks! Hopefully, I will be a little bit better mom and notice the next tooth he gets. :-) Here are a couple pictures of his new bottom tooth.
