 Here are some pictures of the thousands I have taken over the past half a year...

 Picture day at school. Cohen generally refuses to wear anything but "soft pants" aka sweatpants.

 Cohen LOVES the zoo! He always asks to go there!

 Cohen and his Uncle Tom!

 Tackling the lily pads at the zoo all by himself!

 Cohen loves babies and often expresses his sadness because Kempton is getting big and he wants him to stay little. :) He is with his baby cousin, Ally, in this picture!

 Cohen likes swords and any other ninja turtle like weapons, which make me cringe a bit!

 Cohen loves rides! He loves rides that go fast! Here he is on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride at Disney World.

 He also loves driving the cars at Disney.

 Some of my favorite times with my kids are one-on-one outings. He listens so much better and we just soak up our time together.

 He likes watermelon ;)

 He insisted on wearing his Dash costume to the grocery store...I guess it was nice to have a superhero with me. :)

 And if he doesn't have a costume nearby, he can make his own... ?

 This has to be one of my favorite pictures!! Shows his zest for life, and  Hannah's genuine love for her little cousin!

 Cohen still loves parks and climbing walls!

 Ohhh.... he loves Cheetahs too!

 Christmas this year was so much fun! Cohen loved decorating and redecorating the tree and all things Christmas!

 He was so proud of himself.

 He is crazy, energetic and a bit wild, but he is also a big cuddle big and mommy's boy!

 Buddies!

 Cohen enjoys doing puzzles and looking at books.

I got out of the shower one day to find him like this....

I think Cohen was meant to live near the beach... :)

 On another ride at Disney... Toy Story Mania

 Cohen and baby Minnie on the safari at Animal Kingdom

 Cohen did really good with the characters on our trip to Disney last September. He still gets nervous/shy around  characters that can talk to him.

 Some more ride pictures...

 He gets nervous around pools (I do want to do swimming lessons this spring) but he loves splash areas

 I love this picture. :)

Cohen loves this picture! :) He has a crush on Elsa from Frozen.

 His cheetah wanted to put her hands up on the ride.

He's got a love for Mickey Premiums, just like his daddy.

 Practically twins! :)

 Cohen with his cousin, Tyson

 He puts on these glasses and calls himself Mr. GoogleEyes

 Haha..He wanted this hat...I had to draw the line. No hat! ;)

 Cohen and his buddy, Taylor have an amazing friendship!

Kempton really looks up to Cohen and likes to do exactly what Cohen does. Cohen is starting to get annoyed by that but is usually very kind to Kemp. Sometimes Cohen says, "I just want to play by myself." Cohen can always make Kempton laugh and genuinely loves his little bro. I am excited to see their relationship grow over the next year.

 Cohen still likes his blanket. A Lot. But still really only has it at bed time or when he is tired.

 Sweet boy!

Cohen is learning so much in school/daycare. He is starting to get homework and projects to do at home which is is usually excited to do. He is learning to write words and learning letter sounds.

He was drinking water the other day and said "I just needed to hydrate." Haha

He is starting to ask pretty good questions and make connections. He got his haircut and asked if the sun and water would make it grow back.
  

A few videos: 

Cohen riding the Seven Dwarfs Train Ride. (He hit his head like that at the same part every time!)

I told Cohen that it was Uncle Jeff's birthday, and he just wanted to go to his party. Ha!

Cohen playing baseball this past summer

Here he is singing a song he learned at daycare...

Dancin' Machine!!

Cohen loves to bust a move...

Here he is trying to sing "Let it Go" from Frozen. He doesn't quite know all the words, but I like that he says "Cohen never bothered me anyway" instead of "The cold never bothered me anyway" :)

Well, there you have it...some long overdue highlights of our 4 year old!! 

Love, 

Katie
