I can't believe November is almost half over and Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away. This really is my favorite time of year. I love the fall colors and the anticipation of the holidays. Cohen and I stopped to play in the leaves and he loved it. My sweet little boy makes me smile!!!

Cohen's first Halloween and he was a little spider! We spent the evening with his two favorite cousins and had a great time. This is the first year Chris and I didn't dress up, maybe next year I'll be more motivated! I kind of forgot about Chris and I, just wanted to find the perfect costume for my little guy!!! I love Halloween and I love seeing all the little ones in their costumes.

Cohen and I took our second trip to the pumpkin patch and this time with dad! Chris was at a Seahawks game the first time we went and he really wanted to go back to help Cohen pick out his first pumpkin. We missed Berk and Oliver, pretty quiet without those two!!!!
He loved holding all the little pumpkins and gourds.

He's actually laughing at another little girl in this picture. They kept talking to each other every time they saw one another. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this boy, he loves the ladies!

The other night Cohen had woken up around 1 a.m. so I went in to feed him. Usually he eats and he is out within 10 minutes or so but for some reason this time he was wide awake and ready to go! So we ate, we talked and sang, danced for awhile and by 2 a.m. I was getting tired and he was too. He still wasn't asleep but he was rubbing his eyes so I laid him down on his tummy and he put his head down closed his eyes. I stood and looked at him for a couple of seconds and he opened his eyes, lifted his head and gave me a huge smile and then fell asleep. It was the sweetest thing.

We took a trip to Whistler with Tom, Lisa and Jerry and had a wonderful time. It's so beautiful up there and I can only imagine what it's like when everything is covered with snow. Tom and Lisa left their bambinos at home, so poor Cohen had to be entertained by Lisa and I. He always laughs at us which encourages us to keep telling jokes. I missed Berk and Oliver but I know it was a nice time away before the new baby arrives!
We took the gondola to the top of Whistler and rode across to Blackcomb and had lunch. The weather was perfect the entire time so the views were really amazing. There were a ton of mountain bikers with no fear riding full speed down the mountain. They were fun to watch.

Tomcat getting frisky with Chris!

So sad to say goodbye, we'll be back next year!!!!!

I just can't get enough of him!!!!!

I can't believe summer is just about over, so sad. We had some really warm days and Cohen loves to be outside and loved swimming in our very chilly pool! We had lot's of BBQ's, went to music in Pioneer Park every Thursday night, went on walks almost every evening and just enjoyed spending time with friends and family.

I love this little person so much! I'm not sure how I wake up every morning and love him even more than the day before but somehow I do! I can't imagine my life without him.
