Cohen is 1 month old!

Cohen turned one month old on November 18th.  He is growing sooo fast.  I feel like he acts older than he is...and I don't like it one bit.  Since the day he was born, everyone has commented on how alert he is.  He is already holding his head up and smiling like crazy.
At his one month well baby he weighed 10 lbs 6.5 oz !!!!  He weighed 8 lbs 6 oz when he was born and got down to 7 lbs 12 oz before he started gaining.......so he has gained over 2 lbs in less than a month!  He is a big boy just like his brothers were. 
Pretty much right on his one month birthday he outgrew his Newborn diapers and his 0-3 month clothes. 
His face is starting to fill out and he is developing the ever famous double chin that all my boys have had. 
He fits perfectly into our family.  The boys cannot get enough of him.  They will not leave him alone....they are probably driving him crazy with their constant kisses and rubbing of his head. 
He sleeps so good.....I keep waiting for it to end.  Since he was born he has woken up one time a night to nurse.  He nurses every night around 10:15 and goes until around 4:30 each morning. 
We just LOVE him....he is so precious and we cannot imagine life without him. 


Time Flies.....

Seriously....time is flying by and I want it to stop.  I have been a feeding machine and between that and having 2 other kids and a house to try to keep up--things have been a little crazy! 
Not to mention the fact that my husband was out of town for almost 2 weeks.....and I was pretty much on my own with 3 boys. Thank God I did have help from an amazing Mother In Law and a fabulous 16 year old--Carley! 
I haven't had a lot of free time to blog but I have a lot to catch up on!

Halloween!
Gavin, Eric and Papaw went to Cincinnati to watch the Dolphins play the Bengals.  Gavin chose to do that over trick or treating and they all had a great time.  When they got home, Eric sent him outside with his bucket and had him ring the doorbell and filled his bucket with candy....so he got to do both--sort of!

Nolen was a Knight.....I think he was THE most adorable night ever!

 Baby Cohen was 13 days old here....he was a Penguin!  The cutest Penguin ever....



An Impromptu Photoshoot
I have a friend who is an amazing photographer.  She contacted me and told me that she had found these old suitcases and wanted to photograph a newborn in them!  I thought that was a fabulous idea and since I am always up for pictures of my little ones.....I jumped all over it.  They turned out AMAZING!









Growing too fast!
My Mom got Cohen this gown and I LOVE, LOVE it!  I had to get some pictures of him in it before he outgrew it.
