Cohen loves to flip!

Cohen taught himself how to do "ships" (flips). He is getting pretty good at doing somersaults...a-l-l over the living room floor!

Just a boy and his dog...

I love this picture - it looks like Cohen and Muppet are having a serious conversation!

So sweet!!! They were watching Will clean up and mow the backyard!

We never in a million years thought Cohen would love Muppet as much as he does. And she loves him! They're the best of friends, and they act like siblings - including Cohen telling on Muppet when she does something bad!  He loves that ol' girl (even though she's crazy!) Haha! :)

Cohen's 2nd birthday party!

Daddy bringing in Cohen's "big" present from Mommy and Daddy!

He was pretty excited about his new horse! He named him "Happy."

Cohen's 2nd birthday cake! Dinosaurs!!

Having fun at The Jumpy Place!

Getting ready to blow out some candles!

GiGi caught this one on her cell phone! Yay!

Having some tasty cake! Yum-yum!

Silly boy!

One tired guy!

Cohen had a great 2nd birthday party! We had a lot of fun with friends and family at The Jumpy Place! He's growing like a little weed - we can't believe we're already into the third year! :)

Mini-vacation to Corpus Christi!

At the Texas State Aquarium with dad!

Checkin' out the starfish!

Amazed by the big tank of fish!

"What's that?"

"Oh! A shark!"

River otters

Watching the sea turtle with mom!

"Ahgator"

Looking out at the ocean!

Breaking for a popsicle! 

At the stingray petting tank...

...and this little one here caused quite a commotion! Daddy wanted so badly for Cohen to touch one that he decided (for some unknown reason) to grab this one and try to *pull* it over toward him - and within Cohen's reach...

 ...and this is what happened - Cohen got splashed (well, drenched) by that stinkin' stingray! You would have thought the world was coming to an end by how hard that baby was crying! Poor kid!

"A dolpheen!"

He decided that since there were other kiddos on the ground, that was where he was supposed to sit, too!

But then the kids left, so Daddy joined him!

I love this one - it looks like Cohen's reaching out to pet him! :)

Interested in (but not willing to) pet a shark!

After the aquarium, we went out to walk on the beach!

Cohen was a little uneasy at first (hence the death grip on Daddy's shirt)...

...but it didn't take long for him to ease up and start walking in the water!

Little footprint!

Taking a stroll with Mommy, too!

Walking (well, actually running) out onto the pier!

He was doing his very best to convince his Daddy that he saw a shark in those waters!

Love, love, love this picture! Such a big boy!

Picking up sea shells!

He was listening to a big one he picked up!

Will had to make a couple of sales calls in Corpus Christi, and since my school year is going to start a lot sooner than we expected, Cohen and I decided to tag along - one last hurrah of the summer! We had  a lot of fun, and it was cool to watch Cohen for the first time in the ocean! :)
