crazy sleeper

I had to share these pictures because the other night Taylor put Cohen to bed ( in his big boy bed, no longer the bassinet). This is how he looked

Then after about an hour or so I was going to do something and I heard these little noises so I decided to take a peek and this is what I found 

    

                                                                             

Doctor Visit

We went to the doctor today.....drum roll please....Cohen now weighs 15 lbs 5 oz and is 24.5 inches. The doctor said if he keeps growing like this he might be taller than us...I know thats not saying much, I guess his chances of being a basketball player are still pretty slim. But anyways I thought that was pretty good news. He is getting to be such a big boy. Last night this kid was rolling over like no ones business. I am going to post the video below, but he did start on his back, but by the time I got the camera on he was already half way there and the other video I did the file is too big. Dang it. I am hoping I can upload another video, our child has taken on the love of music that Taylor and I share. We were watching a Keith Urban DVD and he was bouncing away, smiling, and it could be singing.  Everything else is going good with us.  I know it cant always be about the baby. Here are some pics and a video...until next time...I have to go change a dirty diaper.

Wow! Its been forever since I've been on here to write anything. There has been so much going on. We are all doing great. Taylor and I celebrated 4 years of marriage in December. Yay! Cohen had his first Christmas ( which was great, but he doesn't really understand yet b/c he was only 2 months)I can't wait till he gets a little older and understands the true meaning of Christmas. I am so far behind to be talking about Christmas. Cohen is growing like crazy and it amazes me that everyday is something new. One day he can't hardly get up during tummy time and the next couple days he is pulling up really well. And when he's on his play mat I lay him down going one direction and I take my eyes off him for a couple seconds and he is in a completely different direction I am sitting there thinking how and the heck did he do that. I never catch him in action. He is starting to turn to his side like he wants to start turning over. He's been talking like crazy and I love it b/c his little nostrils flare and its so stinkin cute, I love his few little giggles that I occasionally get. Can I just say that sleep training is the hardest thing ever....I've been really working on it for two days now. Yesterday didn't go very well, but today I stuck with it and after an hour of crying and checking on him every now and then he finally fell asleep on his own. I am soo proud of him, but its so hard b/c I want to pick him up. I feel like such a bad mommy, I am sure everyone has gone through this. On days like this when Taylors working and cant break away I really wish that my mom was here. I miss her like crazy and I know that she's in heaven looking down and I know that she would be so proud. I guess for a while now I have just pushed it out of my mind trying to avoid the thoughts of missing her...I guess for so long I have tried to be strong and I just feel like I can't anymore. I have to realize its ok to cry b/c I miss and want her with me. I never really went through the stages of being angry or sad and I guess its kinda catching up with me. I know God has purpose in it all, but sometimes its hard to be reminded of that. I hope now that Cohen is taking naps I'll be able to keep up better.
