3 Months Old!!!

So Cohen is 3 months old today. Wow. I just can't believe I'm a mom to this incredibly sweet little boy. I am so unbelievably thankful, and I feel so blessed. Honestly, i have no words to describe how lucky I feel. I love this boy so much. He makes me laugh about 95% of the day! And I love that about him. He's so sweet, and such a cuddler! :)

So these pictures are ones I took today. I'm still having a hard time getting him to smile for the camera... maybe one day I can teach him to pose like Lyndsi did with Natalie! but until then, here's my little cutie pie!

Chillin with Bax! After awhile, Baxter I think got annoyed, cause he got up and left!

He was starting to get a little annoyed with the camera... sorry buddy

I could just squeeze those cheeks alllll day! :)

So, I totally jinxed myself with how he sleeps. After that post about him sleeping, he slept 12 hours!!! I'm not kidding! It was last friday night... and I woke up several times to check on him. I just couldn't believe it. Well, that was him preparing me for what he's been doing lately.... EVER SINCE that night, he has been up every three hours... sometimes two hours. I DON'T GET IT!!!! Growth spurt... blah... I don't want to hear it. This has been almost four weeks now. Please mothers.... share your knowledge and tricks! Did I just get lucky for the first two months? Or is there some things during the day I should be doing? you can e-mail me if you'd like. I would love it. jenniferlong1@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Just some cute pictures of my baby Cohen

Well... okay, just one. While searching through my pictures just now, I realized that I had deleted every single cute picture I recently took of my freakin cute baby. I just made a cd with tons of pictures on it and sent it to my mother-in-law......... well, I'm an idiot and erased them all. So until I get that cd back to restore all of my pictures....... this is what you get!!! oh my gosh... I can't believe I did that.

Anyway... this is a cute picture I took yesterday. Grandma Gail gave him that shirt, so we definitely had to put it to good use! Thanks Gail!!

sleeeeeeeeep my child!

okay, so since the very day we got back from New Mexico, which would make Cohen 8 weeks, he was sleeping 9-10 hours everynight, STRAIGHT. I thought I was the luckiest mom on earth... especially since I was going back to work, and I had to be at work at 6 am. But then like a week and half ago, he started waking up every 2-3 hours and feeding! I didn't know WHAT was going on. He just turned 12 weeks on tuesday, so a lot of people thought he was going through a growth spurt... I don't really care what the reason was... I was just tired. Well last night, he fell asleep at 8:30 and I didn't hear from him again until I left for work which was at 5:45am!!!!!! That's over 9 hours!!!!! In fact at 1 am I woke up, and I went to go check on him to make sure he was still alive. And then I checked him again when I woke up at 5! WOWZERS... I hope this is the starting of something beautiful! :) Just needed to share that today!

Stop pricking my baby!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so last monday Cohen had his two month check up... (even though he was 11 weeks) for all of his shots. Well when we get there, his pediatrician informs me that his PKU test came back for the THIRD time, and they needed another blood sample. I was so mad! I just don't understand why they can't do it right the freakin first time! So how lovely... after they prick him to squeeze out blood from his precious foot, they had to give him three shots. The pediatrician felt so bad that she gave him a toy! That was pretty nice.... I guess it's the least they can do! :)


So onto the good news! He weighs 12 lbs 13 oz, and is 24 inches long!! He's in the 50th percentile. He's growing up so fast!

This was at Tracey's house on her birthday... we were playing a game on that blue lid thing, using Rollo's, and my dad decided it would be fun to do this! It was pretty cute!
