28 Months with Frog Guy

Somehow these frog photos got posted out of order on my computer so I missed the 14th posting them...so here they are.
 Here is Cohen's 28 month photos with his frog guy, he has really gotten bigger in the last few months!
He loves to be silly and loves taking pictures then looking at them
he also gives the sweetest little kisses to his guys, such a gentle little guy

Cohen loves trains, trains and more trains
he also loves cats, it is a toss up which he loves more
he has started talking up a storm and loves to chat and discuss all he is doing- his paper he gets from his school every day used to come home with happy and friendly marked off ever day, now it comes home as happy and chatty
he still loves to snuggle as you can often hear "mommy nuggle you, nuggle you"
