Cohen Turns Two!

A couple weeks ago Cohen had his second birthday! Ava had been counting down until his birthday the whole month of July.. she LOVES a party. We invited all his 'Bama friends over for pizza and cake, and we had a GOOD time! Cohen was so darling and enthusiastic.. understanding that everyone was there for him. He felt so special; it made his (and my) made my day! I made him an Excavator cake because he is obsessed with tractors and trucks right now, and excavators are his favorite. The look on his face when he first saw his cake was absolutely priceless, worth every minute of late night work on that cake.

Cohen and Jeff admiring the cake and presents! Jeff is one of Cohen's new-found favorite buddies out here.

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you! It was fun having so many people singing to Cohen! Everyone in the office who was in town came to celebrate with us..(half the office was in another city in hotels for the week). Cohen LOVED being sang to. It's hard to hear in this video, but he sang right along with the whole birthday song.. so cute.

Next came present time..

Ava was right along with him to help speed up the opening process ;)

Cohen got a new soccer and basketball. He's got some pretty good soccer skills.. makes his daddy proud :)

One of Cohen's other obsessions right now besides tractors, is Toy Story. He and Ava are both way into it, and watch the movies all the time. They play "to infinity and beyond!" all the time too, jumping off the couch onto a pile of pillow. So we decided to get him Toy Story stuff for his birthday. Ava got to do the shopping with us and she had been SO anxious for his birthday to come so Cohen could "share all his presents with her." :)

He got his very own real Woody, Bullseye, Jessie, Buzz, and Zurgh. It was fun seeing how excited he got about every single gift.

Ava enjoyed Cohen's gifts too...

This is some video of Cohen opening his new Buzz Lightyear!

He loves his Buzz! He and Ava play Toy Story all the time now, and I think it's so cute. I'm so glad they have each other. They have become such good buddies this summer, and even though we are stuck inside a lot because of the extreme heat, they never complain and have fun every day playing with each other. It makes me so happy :)
