Cohen 10 months...first word

This is Cohen tonight...not the best pic, but I wanted to show him with the Ball because he said his first word...other than mama and dada. He says 'ball'. . It comes out more like baw, baw, baw, baw though. I told Mark when he got home and had him bring this blue ball into the bath tub and when we said ball he got really excited and started saying it. This kid is crazy about balls so it is only appropriate that it would be his first word. From early on he has always known what to do with them. He gets up on his knees, puts the ball over his head and throws it. He will also play back and forth with you. Its almost like primal instinct.

He has also been spotted standing for long periods of time and taking a step or two at a time before falling. He is SO close to walking, but still a little shaky. Before long I am sure he will be running and kicking that baw, baw, baw!!



Cohen no longer has fangs as his front teeth have come in.
