LIFE WITH MY BOYS!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks! Cole is smiling, growing like a weed and starting to sleep for longer stretches at night... Last night he even slept from 1-6:30!!!    Crossing my fingers that this becomes a pattern.  Either way 5 hours of sleep IN A ROW is wonderful!

And his umbilical cord FINALLY came off and we took a bath.  Cole hardly cried at all!

Grady held Cole for 15 minutes last night while I finished up dinner. This was a HUGE help and anyone who knows Grady knows that he never sits still for that long, unless he's eating! Ha! I am so thankful for his help. In the car yesterday Cole was a little fussy and G made up his own lullaby to calm him down... So cute! It was a twisted version of Rock-A-By-Baby... Anyway, life is good! 7 days til tax season is over and we have daddy back -- wahoo!!!  He looks half asleep here... bless him! 

(I LOVE this picture, doesn't Cole look terrified - ha! )

I have to say life with two (by myself) has been great so far.  I was very nervous about this...  G does go to the sitter during the day.  (I am aware that -- this is ridiculous because I am a teacher and take care of 22 each and every day!)  I am tempted to keep Grady home but he is 4, loves his friends and needs the routine and structure.  Not to mention, he got us all to himself for 4 years, now it's Cole's turn for a few months at least!  HA!  Things will get crazy, I know.  Cole is an infant and sleeps 18 hours a day... but, I am figuring it out and am proud of myself so far. 

I also have managed to have dinner on the table each night since mom left, thanks to mom who froze a bunch of casserole type dishes while she was here... thanks mom!  I did make homemade meatloaf tonight and seasoned potatoes.  Anyway, baby steps.  Either way we'll figure it out as it comes!

Have a blessed week everyone!
