Last Day of Mommyhood Freedom

  The day have finally arrived - tomorrow I will return back to work.  Honestly though, I'm not as emotional as I thought I would be on this day.  Probably because I have 42843723 thoughts running through my head:  What do I need to pack for the sitter?  Will Cohen sleep better tonight?  What do I need to prepare for tomorrow at school? ...

My Achy Breaky Heart

Okay, so I know I blog about this all the time but I think I was in denial that the time would never come.  But now I am down to my last week of maternity leave - the maternity leave I extended for the month of February may I remind you.  My heart, however, is aching at the thought that I have to leave my little stinker.  I've been having nightmares and the...

Carrots and Teeth and No Sleep...Oh My!

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...

Father Like Son

When Cohen was born, there were all sorts of questions about who he looked like.  As a mother, you hope with all your might that the child you carried for 10 months and 2 days (yes ladies, why do they lie about the whole 9 months thing?) will be your mini clone.  Well, 4 months later it is quite apparent that Cohen is a spitting image of....sigh...his father. ...

4 Months and Growing Strong!

   Little Man is 4 months old today!  Everyday is a new adventure with this little guy and I have loved watching him grow into the stinker that he is today!  He is growing up so fast that it is crazy to think he's already a third of the way through his first year.  Right now, Cohen loves to play with his feet and toes.  I lay him on the floor...

Mom Hair

I had a conversation with my mom last week about the reason she cut her hair short when she had kids.  I have never understood why so many moms cut their hair short when they have babies - really I figured it was to cut back on the time spent getting ready, which makes sense too.  However, since Cohen has discovered his hands, he loves to grab things.  DING DING DING!  You are correct - Mommy's hair.  Funny that as soon as it is in his grasp, his hands become iron fists and will not open, yanking my...

It is coming...

As we were enjoying our snow day as a family this afternoon, Kurtis made a comment about how sad he was that I only have 26 days left to stay home with Cohen.  Immediately my head whipped around when I realized, umm, it really is already February!!  I know I am so blessed that I got to stay home with the little man for 5 months, but has it already been 5 months?? ...
