Cohen, can you really already be 16 months old (almost 17!).
Can I just say that you are by far the most "lively" of the group. Is that a good way to put it? You are very strong-willed and let us all know that while you may be the baby, there are certain ways that you want things. (sigh)
You keep me on my toes and make me think that you may be my little caboose. Always thought four kids would be just right, but well, you make me think three may be just fine! ;) I love your spunky spirit and playful personality.
Cohen, can I just say that you amaze your mommy and daddy by your mobile skills and how much you talk already! Maybe it's because you're our third boy, and you are desperately trying to keep up with your big brothers. Since you were 10 months old you have been climbing on ladders, climbing up and down stairs, climbing up on coffee tables and then around a year you learned to jump off! Yikes!
I will try to list all of the words you can say for fun, everyday you say another one! (Don't tell your brothers but you say tons more words then they did at this age!)

And the list goes on. I can't believe how much you repeat after us and how many words you say! Good job, Co-Co!
You love running around at church and everyone loves holding you! Right now, you are the only baby boy at church so you get plenty of attention!
You LOVE your brothers. You want to do every little thing they are doing, and will cry your eyes out until you can! You love riding a scooter! You pick it up and stand on it, and wait for momma to push you!
You also love to swing and go down the slides! Your favorite thing to do is play outside!
Something that you have always loved is a ball. We noticed that since you were a baby you were great with sports. You have got such an arm when you thow the ball and you catch great, too! You also know how to put the ball on the T and swing at it with a bat! Yesterday at your big brother's t-ball practice, you had to carry around his bat and wanted to get in line with the boys! You think you are a BIG boy like your big brothers! Your favorite ball is a football! You carry one around everywhere!
You love to eat, and have always been a pretty good eater! Your favorite fruit isbananas and you love a pop-tart! You eat almost any vegetable and love macaroni and cheese! You love to drink any drink that the boys have and you love a pop-pop! You have been eating with a spoon since you were 12 months old and you do awesome with it!
You also love to "dance." Yesterday, you kept saying, "Dance, Dance" and would shake your little head and jump around. It is so cute!
You have not always been the best nursery baby, but I blame that on traveling around so much while you were a baby to different churches for daddy to raise support to come to AZ! After about 6 months at Heritage, you finally seem to not mind it! You still are pretty strong-willed and everyone knows it!
You sleep great! You do get up every now and then during the night when teething or sick, but other than that you do great! You sleep awesome naps- up until about 2 weeks ago you took 2 LONG naps. In the morning you would sleep 2.5-3 hours and afternoon around 2. Now you are in transition so you still take morning naps, but you just "rest" for your second nap or only sleep about an hour.
I thank God so much for you, Cohen! The Lord knew I would need you when we made a big transition and moved to Arizona. You have kept me on my toes and taught me many lessons about myself and how to be a better mom! You are my most lovable boy as a baby and my favorite part about you is that you give me the best hugs and kisses! I love you, Cohen Jack!
