One year old Cohen. With the cake, the presents, and people.
 

            

Happy Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Cohen.

One year old today. 

What a wonderful year!

Back up

Oh my, I missed a birthday post. Jennifer's birthday was in June. We use the same plans for everyone's birthday- dinner out, Gambinos cake, and gifts. 

So here's to commemorate Jennifer's 30th birthday. 

Cohen and Me

Cohen and me spent the day together today while his parents went boating.

He will be 1 year old in 2 weeks. So we spent the day singing Happy Birthday to You and having him hold 1 finger up. I want him to be ready for his big day.

We took a walk outside thru the subdivision cause I like to look in new houses being built. It kept us occupied for a little while. 

He sure does eat a lot. Lunch, snack, snack, and dinner. 

Miss Priss came over to play and stayed while her mom went to tan and get her nails and toes done. 

They don't look too happy, but they were playing good together and I was trying so hard to get a good picture of them together.  I kept interrupting them to look at me for pictures. And Miss Priss was clean when her mom brought her, but she had a snack with Cohen.  And we had a food accident. 

Fun time went by fast and their parents came home and I was sent on my way. 

A Little Pageantry

A weekend of fun with Brooklyn in a 2 day pageant. One on Friday night and the second part on Saturday.

Here she is waiting for the 0-11 months at The Red White Blue Pageant on Friday night.

     

Then her on stage.

   

She did good. Except if she would only smile for the judges. She is a wild child sitting out in the audience, laughing and screaming. But once on stage she freezes. But that's ok. She will learn. She placed 2nd out of 12 contestants.

And the casual wear on Saturday.

She is a cutie. If only she would smile for the judges, again, we could breathe a sigh of relief. But not.She looks at them, rather stares at them. But no smile.

On stage with 12 other contestants.

Saturday was 5 pageants with competition only once. With 5 directors of the 5 pageants and 10 judges and awards in each 5. She place 2nd in two, 3rd place in the other 3, and prettiest hair in one. And a lot of gifts awarded. She received a crown, a trophy, a little charm bracelet with a crown charm, a little silver necklace with a pearl droplet, a set of child nail polish, bubble bath and lip gloss, and a toy fishing pole. The fishing pole was her favorite of all.  She did good, and was already the queen in our eyes. 

It was a long morning for her. She was exhausted at the end.

Summer Week

A summer week with just me and Cohen. Usually the little one goes to the grandma's house. But we are not your usual ordinary people, so I go baby sit for a week. He will start daycare the following Monday. 

We did make time for crawling races with Brooklyn.
