Little Man had his 4 month check up on Wednesday. The stinker weighed 16 lbs 4oz and is a whopping 26.5 inches long! The kid is growing like a weed and I get sad when I have to fold up his clothes and put them away like every other week. But at our appointment, the doc gave us the okay to start Co on solids, starting with orange veggies and working our way to green veggies, then fruits. So, we started with carrots and here is Cohen's first expression with the world of nummy veggies:
Uhh..Mom...what is this?
Okay, not too bad I guess!
Unfortunately, ever since Thursday, little man has decided that sleep isn't that important. He goes to bed at his normal time - around 7:45. Then, he'll wake up at 3 or 4 or 5 and decide he's ready to get up for the day. And you can guess that I'm not a big fan of these wake ups. Last night was the breaking point. He woke up at 2:30 and stayed up until 5, finally deciding to sleep for an hour before getting up for good at 6. Thank GOD my parents were here last night and my mom graciously got up for me and took care of him as I cried with frustration and tried to get at least a few more hours of sleep. To make matters worse, tonight as I'm getting ready to feed him dinner, I see a little mini white bud - pretty sure at least. So not only is he sleep deprived, getting used to new food and trying to party at wee hours of the night - the kid is getting a tooth. Fab. But it is all part of motherhood - the ups and downs. However, no matter how angry or frustrated I get, as soon as I see that sweet smile and precious little face, my heart melts and I know he is the only thing that matters. I thank God that I have been blessed with such a precious and amazing gift. I also thank God for an amazing family - my husband, mom, dad and sister seriously are a blessing and I couldn't live without them. But also just as important, I thank God for creating coffee - because otherwise I know I would not have made it this far.
