My little Coco Bear,
One year has already passed since you became a part of our lives. We waited a very long 40.5 weeks for you to come join us in this world. But, on Tuesday, October 5th, 2010, you decided you were ready to come be a part of this crazy place -- and fast and furious you came! You definitely have a mind of your own, but that's what makes you such a special little guy. We refer to it as "Cohen Time." Through the months of sleepless nights, days that we'd stay in our pajamas until 4 pm (right before Daddy came home) and the countless amounts of spit-ups and blowouts (and not the hair kind), we made it a whole year together. I love you more and more everyday - you are always on my mind and I wish that I could spend all day, everyday with you. You amaze daddy and I with the new things you learn and how quickly you pick it up. You are the most loving, sweetest and precious little boy I have ever known. Your smile is contagious and you know how to flirt and get people to laugh. I have learned so much about myself from you this past year, and I'm excited to continue to grow with you. Daddy and I are better people because of you! I am so thankful God has blessed us with you, our precious little miracle. Happy first birthday, Monkey!
Love you, Mama
