Beyond Belief

The other day I was sitting in my own little world and had honestly forgotten I was a mother for a brief moment. I sat in my chair wondering how I was ever going to get all my work, work done, house cleaned and the bills paid then, this little guy walked into the room……


I was so relieved I let out a deep breath and smiled because I had something more important in my life that work and chores. Everything else is second fiddle to my babies. I am lucky beyond belief.

2 Month Check Up

Cole had his 2 month check up this week. He weighs 9’13 oz and is 22 inches long. Cole is in the 10th percentile and I just can’t believe how big he is getting! Cole is a super great baby and I love his laid back personality. He is defiantly our lazy bones baby. Cole is already sleeping through the night, one 4-6 hour stretch and then two more 2-3 hour stretches. Amazing! Case didn’t sleep like this until he was almost 1 year old. Cole also likes to sleep in. I literally have to wake him every morning by 10 am so we can go and run errands. And by the way he is growing; you can tell he is a good eater. Also the Dr. said he has great head control and very strong legs, but Cody and I already knew that. Cole loves to stand and practices standing with daddy in his chair every evening for at least an hour. We are always amazed at how long he wants to do this without getting tired. Cole is a little smiling machine and will offer up his super cute gummy grin every time you look at him and either start talking or smile. He has even laughed a time or two if the occasion is particularly funny. Cole has found his hands and I believe he will be our thumb sucking or paci baby because he loves both. Yup its official, we have another amazing baby and I am the luckiest mommy in the world.

Big Man in Red

Big day today, Case went to see Santa. No tears or fears, he just went right up to Santa and sat on his lap. With a little prompting he even told Santa he wanted ‘candy and a red bike’ for Christmas. Trying to get Case to produce a proper smile was not so easy. Cole was a bit more silent with the big guy seeing as how he has everything he wants and needs at this time in his life but at least he was picture perfect. Only 3 more days!

Random Toddler Humor

Today when Case called daddy to talk on the phone Cody was getting off an airplane. Case could hear people talking on the intercom, beeping and background noise. Apparently he thought Cody was at a drive through because he then promptly told Cody to order fries and juice. I think we may have a precocious toddler on our hands. What a hoot!

Ways To Tell You Are Really Really Tired

1)Feeling your toothbrush to see if it is wet because you can’t remember if you have already brushed your teeth before bed or not.

2)Wandering around the house sniffing the air trying to find out where the burning smell is coming from only to remember the fireplace is on.

3)Wondering why your toddler is upstairs babbling to himself 2 hours after bed time only to realize later in the evening that you left the lights on in his room all night.

All of these things I did this week. I need a nap.

Hanging With The Boys

A little brotherly bonding on the activity mat.

Watching tv with dad.

When did this one get so big?!

No Pictures Please!

No pictures please! I know poor Cole feels like a super star with the paparazzi after him all the time, but how can I resist taking tons of pics when I have a subject as cute as this?!


Look at me smiling! Mama almost cried the other day because after I walked into Cole's room he produced one of the biggest, whole face smiles I have ever seen. Sniff, sniff. It was beautiful.


Mama thinks I am pretty. :)

Such a good boy.

Too Young

Its official, Cole is too young for the father son game of “get you.” Case loves to play “get you.” This game consists of Cody chasing Case around the house and trying to “get” or catch and then tickle him. This game is played daily if not more. Well tonight, Cole was lying on the floor watching Case and Cody wrestle and play “get you” when Cody looked at Cole and said, “You’re next boy.” Cody reached down and tickled Cole on his tummy. Cole promptly screwed up his face and began to cry and scream. As sad as it was to see Cole cry Cody and I both began laughing because his response was so prompt. Any-hoo, we are guessing Cole needs to be at least a couple more weeks old before he joins in the fun.
