random

This started off as a ten on tuesday post, but yeah…it’s closer to Thursday now.  So I don’t know what to title it, but I have some random bits on my mind, so here goes.  And I think I will number them just to keep things organized.

1.  First off, my 9 week old baby boy.  I will never get tired of that face!

2.  Speaking of that face, I feel like I just don’t get to see it enough some days.  He has to go to bed so early that I feel like after we get home for the day it is right into bed time routine.  A couple nights ago when we were up for the middle of the night feeding, I actually stayed awake long after he was passed out again just so I could look at him, cuddle him, kiss him, smell him.  So sweet!  Those are the moments I will never forget.   Then, I woke up, still on the couch three hours later with a stiff neck!  Back to reality!

3.  Part of the bed time routine is bath time.  He loves it!

4.  It seems like Josey and I have been going in opposite directions lately.  One of us always needs to be going here or there while the other stays home with the kids.  On Sunday, he decided we should take a day off, so we even skipped church just to lounge around and hang out.  For a special treat, he and Rory went into town to get donuts for breakfast.  Rory was definitely a fan of this!  And they even brought home flowers for mommy.  It was my lucky day, I guess!

So I wonder if  it was the sprinkles or the frosting that she liked?  Goofball!

5.  Last night, Cohen slept 10 hours straight.  What?  That is crazy.  Now I am kicking myself for not going to bed earlier.  Do I think I’m lucky enough for that to continue?  No way.

6.  He had his two month check up on Monday.  The little piglet has more than doubled his birth weight, and came in at a whopping 12 pounds!  He also grew 2.25 inches.  He is starting to get some future muscles {aka chubbies} on his little bod.

7.  I was looking for a picture the other day, and I came across this.  It is from back in June, but I think it’s hilarious.  I’m pretty sure we see this expression on her face about 50% of the time.

8.  Rory has an imaginary friend named Daniel.  Nice.  Everywhere she goes she says, “Come on, Daniel,” and holds his hand.  So I wonder where the name Daniel came from?  I hate to admit it, but she heard it on Days of Our Lives.  I have been dvr’ing it since I was pregnant (Hey, I needed something to watch while I was lying on the couch miserable.) and I still watch it some days when I’m sitting nursing Cohen.  LOL!

9.  The Pioneer Woman is coming out with a cookbook.  Holy, am I excited about that!  I already pre-ordered my fair share.  Perfect Christmas gift!

10.  Speaking of cooking, I am really looking forward to fall food.  I love this caramel apple dip.  It is SO good, I can’t wait to make it again this year.  It’s perfect for fall get togethers.  Last year, I brought my apple corer/slicer thing, a basket of apples, and a bowl of this to the pumpkin patch.  Super easy and super yummy!

2 months old

The fastest two months of my life!  I’m happy to report, he got all his screaming out, and is back to his happy, laid back self.  Thank goodness!  I also went back to work this week, and it seems he has adjusted so well.  I swear, he changes every day while I’m away from him.  I really thought that one of our kids would have had brown eyes like me, but his just keep getting lighter and lighter.  In just two short months, he has definitely made up for how skinny he was when he was born.  Just look at that double chin!

Gosh, the more I look at him, the more in love I am!

that’s my girl

just look at him.

So sweet, you would never guess he has had his mama in tears the last two nights.  It seems this mister has chosen the last several hours of the day to exercise his lungs.  It would be much easier for both of us to handle if he could just move that time up a couple hours because by midnight, the lack of sleep really starts to catch up to you.

He is quite charming the other 20 hours of the day, though!

And even uses some of his time to throw a few coo’s and smiles my way.  Looking at that, I guess it’s pretty easy to forget about the less than fun times.
