Though we are celebrating Koe's birthday today, this date represents his real birthday which came after a 51 hour induction.
1/27/24
Growing up as a gym rat, it’s no surprise that March is Koe’s favorite month of the year due to his love for this sport.
“Table balks”
Basketball
6 days old, a spotlight, buzzers, and “assume the position
Park High Basketball Game
Mom and dad always joked about their anxiety over someone calling to report them to this state agency due to the volume of bruises that Koe accumulated while learning to walk and run.
CPS
The musical way Koe asks for these tasty snacks will unfortunately haunt him for the rest of his life.
Crackers
From cowboy boots to his favorite pair of white sneakers, Koe has worn many different shoes. When shopping for new footwear, be sure to know this current shoe size.
T7
When returning home from any trip, big or small, Koe’s favorite part is giving these two beings a big hug.
“Daisy sun sull”
Lulu and Sissy
5 months old, Dada’s birthday, a train ride, and these two popular historical sites that mom travelled to, solo, the previous summer while pregnant with Koe. Spooky!
Bannock and Virginia City
When checking to see if an injury is serious or not, one can ask Koe if he is this five letter word that can be swapped for “resilient” or “rugged”. In a non-serious case, he will promptly repeat the word, and tears will stop almost instantly.
Tough
The first animal Koe could recreate the sound of was this furry friend. No surprises due to the love he has for his own.
Doggies
Not surprisingly, and with Koe being the son of two adults who like a good, occasional alcoholic beverage, it made perfect sense that his birth weight resembled this popular cocktail made of just two ingredients.
7 & 7
When instructed to put his shoes on, Koe will first put them on his hands and call them this.
"Los veg"
Gloves
1 Year and 5 months old, honey sticks, a sunflower patch, TT Wiz, a “My Best Friend”
Hamilton, MT
A common occurrence for toddlers, or so Liz says, Koe experienced this type of injury to his arm while mom tried to exit him from a chicken coop in Hamilton, then again while climbing on grandpa.
Nursemaid’s Elbow
In order to chase some really good mimi’s, Koe should be given the option to sleep with one of these three stuffies.
Lamby, Wolfie, or Bully
To the annoyance of many new parents, Koe’s first time sleeping all the way through the night happened at this surprising age.
5 weeks old
Mom caught Koe taking sip of one of these a few weeks back after dad accidentally left it out for easy grabbing.
"Christ logo"
Coors Light
10 months old, honks and horns, a convoy of bright lights, and Alfie to help us know when to point or wave
Parade of Lights: Belgrade, MT
Koe bonked his face off of this hard surface at Nonni and Pop’s house just before being dropped off at the Livingston Round up. The bloody nose didn’t come until later in the night.
Fireplace
When first trying solid foods, Koe took after Dada by disliking this popular protein. His dislike slowly faded, and now he enjoys it much more than Bubba does.
Chicken
Teething can be rough, but for our little man, he showed us exactly how tough he was when he popped this many teeth at once.
3 teeth
Koe wishes his mom and dad would provide him with more of this option in the freezer!
“Sleek task”
Elk steak
1 Year and 4 months old, flying caterpillars, the wrong pack n play, and this popular Pipestone destination where Koe completed his first full trail ride on the 4 wheeler with mom. Of which, he slept for the final 2 miles.
Ringing Rocks
This animal like position Koe finds himself in at the end of the video gained popularity on shows like Ridiculousness and Jackass.
Scorpion
Koe missed out on his first Halloween due to a fever of 103.2. He never got to show off his costume that year representing this profession. Except to all the “trick or treaters” Dada invited to the house by surprise to lift his and Mom’s spirits.
