Cohen is....WALKING!! :) I was starting to get a little worried because he was almost 13 months and still hadn't started walking. I mean he would hold on to your hands and go but that was it. I was at work when Chris called me and told me that Cohen started walking. I started to cry. I was happy and sad at the same time. Sad that I missed it and sad because that means that my little guy is getting soo big! He walks around like crazy now and is getting soo good. I love him lots. :) I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! (I will post about that soon.)

Yesterday December 8, 2010 was my grandpa Rodgers birthday. He would have been 71.
He passed away September 8, 2010. I miss him so much. There are so many things I remember about my gramps. Going on rides on his blue motorcycle or big red truck, trying to teach me to play guitar, Sunday afternoons he would give me and my step sister Brittany all his change to walk to Macey's because we weren't allowed to hang out on Sunday's but we HAD to get out of the house, he was a great story teller and always had a story to tell, he would give me rides before I could drive, anywhere I needed to go and didn't ever complain, he helped me get the jelly bean when I was 16 after my first car died, the dream catcher necklace he made me, the Indian name he gave me when I was 16, his wisdom and philosophy of life, there wasn't anything he couldn't do.
I do regret that Cohen never got to meet him and I hope that he understands why and the reasoning. It had nothing to do with him and I wish the circumstances would have been different, but he will meet him someday and I will make sure to tell Cohen all about his great grandpa Rodger.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how short life is, how I take small everyday things for granted. This year I am going to spend more time with family and friends, make sure that I am doing things that I enjoy. I am also going to s.l.o.w down and actually enjoy life, I feel like sometimes I get so caught up in errands, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, going to work, etc.. that I miss things or I don't spend enough quality time with Cohen. I have been working on letting the dishes pile up or the laundry if it means that I get to spend more one on one time with Cohen.
I love you grandpa and I miss you so much. I think about you often and the littlest things remind me of you. You are truly missed but I know that you are "driving the Highways of Heaven smiling down on all of us." Love you gramps.

This post is dedicated to a very special little boy, Cohen Christopher Day.
I love you soo much Cohen, words can't even explain. It's so crazy I met you for the very first time a year ago today. You stole my heart that day.
I want you to know that I will always be here for you and I will always love you. You have me wrapped around your little finger.
You are the best baby and this has been an awesome year. You have grown up so much and taught me so much. You are very smart and such a happy little guy. I can't imagine life without you.
I love you Cohen! Happy 1st Birthday! :)

..Cohen's 1st Birthday..

This Saturday we celebrated Cohen's 1st birthday!

He had soo much fun! He loved all the friends and family, cake, and of course cool presents! :)

He is pretty spoiled. It looked like Christmas! But you only turn 1 once right?

We invited our close friends and family over to grandpa Steve's for cake, ice cream, and presents.

We even had awesome party hats! :)

I really enjoyed planning his party and watching him open is presents and dig into his cake!

He also got his FIRST hair cut! He did awesome! My cute friend Kayce cut it and she was soo cute with him. She let him see the buzzer and feel it so he wouldn't be scared. He then discovered that if he pulled on the cord to her blow dryer, the blow dryer would turn on. He loved that. It kept him entertained the rest of the time! :) He did a great job and looks soo handsome! He looks much older too. :/ I can't believe that it has already been a year! We have so many more to come and I am really excited. I love my little man so much. He teaches me something new everyday. :)

..Halloween 2010..

I know..I'm a little late! Halloween was soo much fun this year! Cohen was a duck! The cutest duck EVER! :) We didn't take him trick or treating because I thought he was too little, next year though. We went to my grandparents for chili and scones..mMm yummy! :) We then went over to Chris's family party. Cohen loved it! Everyone was dressed up, there was dancing in the garage, a disco ball and everything. Of course Cohen loves music so he wanted to be in the garage for the most part. He also thought the disco ball with all the colors was pretty cool. :) Yummy food in the kitchen and fresh homemade cider and a fire outside!

Cohen really enjoys people, it's so fun to watch him study and take them in. He is getting so big and he is soo smart! I can't believe he will be 1 this month! :/ Oh how time flies!

..The disease called "Perfection"..

I found an article on a friends blog and thought that I would share it.
I think that it is truly an eye opener. I also suffer from this everyday. Maybe not to these extremes, but definitely "The disease called "Perfection."
It's kinda long but worth the read! :)

He is soo funny, he waves bye bye, says dada ( :( I wanted him to say mama first), he doesn't crawl, but he does scoot around on his bum..it's the cutest thing ever! :) He is also starting to pull himself up onto things. I can't believe how big and smart he is. I love him soo much. He is my life and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world! :)
