6 month stats

Cohen is 28.25 inches long and 17 pounds and 13 ounces. He gained exactly 2 pounds! And, he had gained exactly 2 pounds between his two and four month visits! Neat!
The visit was okay. Just slight issues this time. At least I was given a bit of credit this go round.


Umm, where did september go? It passed in the blink of an eye!!! And now it's crunch time for picking out a costume for Cohen. Not that he gets to eat any candy himself... I guess I will just have to eat it for him! =P

One more random thing, while highly caffeinated so my intake is limited, this is delicious and my new favorite drink.


Yum yum!! That is all. Have a good night everyone!

Busy day

I've got a busy day ahead of me. Lots of cleaning to do. I've already done the litterboxes and started laundry. I want to sweep and mop too. And the quest to declutter is still ongoing. I really want Scott's truck to finally be sold so we can feel better financially. It'll be nice to have my vehicle paid off along with some other bills.

My mind is a'whirling right now. I really hope to be able to have a booth at Southdown in the spring. But I can't really start making things to sell just yet. Again, maybe when Scott sells his truck. I need to work on my logo some more and really get it ready. I'm not sure what all that entails so maybe I can get some help from some of my designer friends.

My baby is getting so so big! He's now fitting into clothes that I can remember thinking were huge when I got them. He's in 12 month stuff already!!

And, in turn, I'm getting so small! Haha, well not small but smaller. I'm down to 165-167. I'm finally starting to level out though so if I wanna lose more weight I'll have to start trying. I haven't decided about that yet. It would be nice to be in the 150s. Especially before the holidays so I don't have to feel so guilty if I put some back on. =P

Okay, I could ramble on forever right now but I won't. Have a lovely FALL day!!

Tuesday TMI

So I was quite amused earlier with the pets. Tipsy accidentally got a little poo on the floor and proceeded to try to bury it for many minutes. Ace even joined in. And then, RoRo came to their rescue by eating it. (hey, I warned you in the title!! :P)

And Cohen pooped two big nasty poops today. My baby's innocent breastmilk poops have fleed the scene.

And while on the subject of breastmilk, wouldn't it be cool if I could control it with my mind and make it shoot out at will? I think so. (like I said, you were previously warned!) I mean, it already sprays when I let down, so I should just be able to consciously make that happen. Haha! I know, I'm weird.

Okay, I think that is enough gross things for one post.

Have a nice afternoon!

=D

It's odd how moods work sometimes. I am so happy today that I just might explode. And for no particular reason either. I have a headache, about a million loads of laundry to do, a dirty house, and yet, I am happy. =) Life is good. I truly cherish these days.

That is all. =)

Sweet baby!

October 6th makes 3 years!

Quickly approaching is our third anniversary. While that is VERY exciting, it also makes me nervous. Scott asked me if we could go to dinner alone. And leave Cohen with grandparents. I don't think he (Cohen) is ready for this. When he gets sleepy/fussy, he wants me ONLY and gets more frantic the longer he isn't with me. I know grandparents are more than capable of caring for him even if he would get like this with them, but how the heck am I going to enjoy dinner with my husband when I'm worried sick about my babe? I know I'm the exception and most moms my age wouldn't think twice about doing this, but I'm different. I enjoy my babe and providing for his needs so much. And, I truly believe that putting in so much effort now will pay off in the long run.

And it's not that I won't ever leave him, but I just feel he's still so young and that somehow would feel betrayed and abandoned if he got hysterical and I wasn't there. I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy.

And I also don't want to neglect my husband either. He needs and wants me too and has in many ways been put more on the backburner lately.

And... I know it's OUR anniversary, but I feel like it is the start of our family that we are celebrating, and Cohen is a part of that.

I just don't know what to do. I suggested maybe I just cook and we could bring Cohen to his parents for a bit for us to eat just the two of us.

Arghh. Why do I feel like such a freak for not wanting to leave my baby for even just an hour??

Boo.

Happy Half Birthday my Little Love!!

Oh the Drool...

Someone turned on a major drool faucet.  Even during naps, the drool just pours out.  Cohen is/was napping on my chest and I could feel the drool just dripping down me.  Gross!  Poor babe, those stinkin teeth are bugging him. 

Solids are going well.  We started a couple weeks ago, and he's liked everything he's tried.  And, of course, he still loves nursing.

I want to have a booth at Southdown Marketplace this spring, but I need monies to make things to make monies!  Ahh!  Maybe when Scott sells his truck.
