2 Weeks

We had Keegan’s 2 week check up today and all is well.  He got the same label Cohen did when he was a baby…short and fat, with a big head.  Guess that’s how we make them.  He’s now 19 1/2 inches (5th percentile), 7 lbs 13 oz (25th percentile) and is in the 75th percentile for head circumference.  He has his days and nights mixed up a bit, but overall we can’t complain.  He’s a really good baby.  Cohen is doing a LITTLE bit better…he still has his moments, but is getting better.

Picture Post

I have pictures stacking up so here’s some random ones from the past few weeks so I hopefully won’t fall too far behind.

Cohen showing me his fingers too…

Poppa brought his bike to Texas from Colorado in hopes of getting in some good rides in warmer weather…little did he know we would have the biggest snow storm anyone has ever seen here.  Luckily, the snow finally melted and he was able to get in a few good rides.  Cohen was dying to ride on the bike with him…only problem was we didn’t have a helmet for Cohen.  Well, what do you do when trying to make a kid happy…improvise…

Cohen laid down on this empty blocks carrier and said, “Mommy, I’m doing the luge!”

I just love pictures like this…

Cohen checking out Keegan’s swing and showing Buzz Lightyear how it all works…

Also had to check out the bouncy seat…

So sweet when they’re sleeping…

Keegan with my mom and Pawpaw…

Well, that catches me up for now.  Off to get some sleep while I can!

Brotherly Love

Ahhhh, so sweet.  Well, unfortunately, it only appears that way.  Cohen is having a REALLY hard time adjusting to Keegan being around.  Some of the lovely things he has said about his new brother:

- “Mommy, I’m going to hit Keegan.”  (Thankfully he only said he was going to and didn’t actually do it).

- “I want to take Keegan back to the hospital.”

- After repeated reminders to Cohen to cough into his elbow and not to cough on Keegan, he went right up to him, bent down and coughed right in his face.

- Cohen was asked to do something and he said “maybe when Keegan goes home.”

- “Hold me instead of Keegan.”  In the process of lying Keegan down, Cohen says, “just throw him.”

- “I WON’T tell Keegan goodnight.”

Oh my!!  I knew it was going to be an adjustment for him, but I had no idea it was going to be this rough.  So, here’s to hoping it can only get better…

Keegan Luke

Most of you are aware that we welcomed, Keegan Luke into the world on Monday.  What an incredible experience…I went from panic/meltdown mode on Sunday about having to be induced to shock mode on Monday when my labor only lasted 4 1/2 hours with only about 45 minutes of that being really intense.  We were able to come home today and it’s been so nice to be back in the comforts of our own house.

Keegan is such a good baby.  He only cries if he’s dirty or hungry and is already going about 3-4 hours between feedings.  He’s so tiny and it seems like Cohen grew like a weed while I was in the hospital.  He’s doing pretty well adjusting to having Keegan around.  One of the first things he commented on is that he can now sit in my lap and lean on me without my belly being in the way.

We have lots of help here at home and I’m so thankful for it.  It’s nice to have some extra hands to help keep Cohen occupied, Keegan held, dinners made and errands run.  I’m planning to soak up all the extra nap time I can!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past few days…  I’m sure there will be many more to come from our new family of 4!

A Little of This and a Little of That

Just wanted to put up some cute pics of Cohen that I’ve taken recently.  We’re still in waiting mode as far as baby goes and just praying that he comes before Monday morning!

I wish I could say Audrey put Cohen up to wearing this pink headband, but he wore it all on his own…

Cohen has just discovered the fun of playing in the kitchen cabinets…

Here he is sporting his pajamas on “P” day at preschool…

Helping me clean up the crayons he dumped all over the floor…

Fun with blocks…

Fun covering daddy in blocks…

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the crazy snow we’ve had this week.  It’s been lots of fun to play in…

Well, hopefully next time I post it’ll be with pictures of our newest addition!
