One Month!

It's been a month... Thinking back I don't know how this is possible. Some events seem like they were months ago and others seem like yesterday. Actually giving birth feels like an eternity ago - Most of it I can't even remember... or I'm blocking it out, one of the two!

Cole is...

• Getting bigger by the day - and stronger! He can hold his head up most of the time
• Is eating about 5 oz. a sitting
• Looking more like his dad
• Not smiling yet... but close
• Figuring out how to drive mama crazy during the day (he is NOT a quiet crier)
• Figuring out how to melt mama (he's got the greatest expressions already - once he realizes how to control them I'm in BIG trouble)
• Is a pooper - I swear this kid sharts every hour
• Has figured out his nights and days - he usually does a 5-6 hour shift at night! Again, happy mama
• Loves TV already - I know he can't actually see it but he constantly tries to watch it when he's downstairs

I am...

• Getting better at figuring out Cole's cries - and realizing that sometimes he just needs to scream (though I hate it)
• Starting to settle down during the day
• Learning how to take extra quick showers
• Drinking a pot of coffee every morning... not a good habit but a necessary one!
• Anxious to start working out again... My body feels pretty foreign still so I've devised a workout schedule that will be starting as soon as my back gets better (yep - threw it out again)
• Very happy

Here are some pictures of Cole and his bear:

"Dude, I don't think she's anywhere near being done with that camera!"

Just chilling in the big bed as I attempted to shower and get (somewhat) ready this morning:

"Aren't I handsome? My shirt says I am..."

Tummy time on his jungle mat...

I'm trying to remember to take video since we got an AWESOME flip camera from Leah - here is a trial run - ignore my annoying voice....
