Covid Baby Micah Turns ONE!!!

Remember when Aunt Syssa had a baby 2 full months into a pandemic and then A FULL YEAR LATER, we were still in the pandemic?! Well, life continued on, and that beautiful baby has blossomed into a sweet 1-year-old, and we were ready to celebrate!

We snuck in some Nana and Zayde time the night before Micah's all-day celebration!

bedtime books and snuggles

On Saturday morning, we started the party (during birthday boy's nap) outside with bathing suits and excitement.

Cohen clan was quite excited

Up first, we tried out Micah's new sprinklers.



Next, Micah's new penguin bubble blower came out, and who doesn't love bubbles?

Everyone loves bubbles.

Birthday Boy Micah woke up from morning nap to come join his party. It was a good thing that sprinkler and bubble fun had already transpired because he wasn't interested in those activities in the least.

We went upstairs to the playroom before lunch and enjoyed sharing many new birthday presents.


We stayed together all day. We played together all day.

We ate together all day.


Happy Birthday, sweet Micah Ori, and Mazel Tov to Team Gilden on this milestone! We love you, and we are so proud to be alongside the journey with you.
