February 2019

February may be a short month, but we packed it full of fun. We had a big Disney trip and a big toddler's birthday celebration with lots of good ol' Cohen craziness in between.

This little guy is TWO. He also thinks his glasses are pretty funny.

When brainless screen time becomes a creative thinking activity - How will we watch it today?

For a little guy, he's full of big personality:

"I CHEESE pih-tur!"

I probably shouldn't take a picture first?

Climbing the stairs this way was impressive.

I managed to catch some samples of his verbal skills. (Clearly, he does his best work in the morning while still in pjs.)

some "EBCDs"

He wrote his own knock knock joke!

He can count to 20. He is also a toddler. This movie demonstrates one of the above statements to be accurate.

Sigh - butt up and all. Night night, sweet boy.

Spencer's older brother has surely inspired a love for all things superheroes!

And Spencer's excitement motivated the other 2 for dress up:

As we transition into the Ethan section of the blog, I present to you the dynamo duo who can now live their best lives with Spencer having his very own "tar!"

Ethan took a brief pause to go get his kippah. Then, they resumed.

Ethan is growing into a pretty selfless guy. He'll kiss the area of your booboo; he'll share his food or toy; and he'll greet anyone enthusiastically, including all package delivery personnel. He is a sweet boy to keep around!

He's a goofy goof too.

Gabi had her 6-year-old well check at the beginning of the month. She continues to be growing steadily, measuring 49.5 in (98% and 3.5 inches taller than last year!) and weighing 68 lb 6 oz (98%).

She also celebrated Valentines Day at school (with Daddy).

Gabi was getting very excited in the weeks leading up to our big trip: "In a few days, I am going to Disney World. And I am going to a hotel for sleep time."

She slept there all night too.

pretty sure she drew eye makeup AND lipstick on with a marker

Fun with cousins ensued when the Gildens came over for build-your-own-pizzas (and cousins bath)!

Let us in!

On second thought...

cousin kisses? baby staring contest?

February 6 comes every year, and every year we get suckered into National Fro Yo Day. We didn't see anyone complaining though.

...and after...

We went to a fun birthday party at Pump It Up.

Spencer spent the majority of his time happily on this "slide."


More fun was had at a gymnastics birthday party on a different day.

Bathtime with 3 kids in the tub at once is never dull:


Sometimes, it's the simple unplanned moments at home that are the best:

And last, but not least - Spencer's birthday wasn't the ONLY one recognized in Team Cohen's house this month. This beautiful matriarch turned 12 human years on February 26th. Happy Birthday, Maggie!
