Santa! I know him!
Since I came home from the hospital, Christmas music has been playing on the radio in my room. My momma and daddy sing to me all the time - especially when I am crying during my diaper change! I've heard about Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; but I've heard a lot about this Santa guy, and my momma and daddy took me to meet him this week! He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him that I spit up a lot and so I wanted some burp cloths!

Happy One Month Birthday to Me!
I turned one month old on Friday. Momma and Daddy took me to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate... they may have enjoyed the trip and the meal more than I did!

How Time Flies!
So, I've been busy and haven't been able to post until now.... Cole eats all the time, so trying to squeeze a little house work and doctor visits between feedings doesn't leave much time for updating my social outlets!
We cannot believe that it has been four weeks since Cole was born! ...four weeks! Time flies when you are having fun, right?! ...and when you are sleep deprived! We are all doing well - Cole is gaining weight, Jeremy has went back to work, and, even after being left alone night and day with the little one (seeing how Jer is back at work - and when he works, that's all he has time for), I still have all of my hair! Cole and I have been doing well by ourselves; the first day Jer was back at work, both Cole and I had had baths and dinner was ready when he got home from work. >>I was very proud of myself for this! Nothing else had been done, but at least we all were clean and fed!
So, we've been getting Cole out just a bit - We've taken him to the grocery store, Lollipops (so I could collect my money from bows), and to church. He has done very well with outings and I'd love to get him out just a bit more, but it is just too cold out! ...not to mention that it is flu season....
He sleeps very well during the day. He sleeps very well most nights, too. But the nights he doesn't sleep well are horrible! I think he had a tummy ache earlier this week - for three hours, if he wasn't eating, he was screaming! I felt like such a horrible mom! Eventually, though, he went to sleep and stayed asleep. Last night I was able to sleep next to Jeremy for a little over two hours while Cole slept in his crib down the hall! We are working on getting him to sleep in his crib so that we don't have a four year old in our bed in a few years! I'm the one who won't put him in his crib for every nap because I'm afraid he will puke and we won't hear him! (When Jeremy works, I sleep in the extra bed in Cole's room so that we don't wake him - seeing how he runs a nuke plant and all, he needs his sleep...!)

| Cole's four week pic. Check out that double chin! We call it his 'chin-chin'! He's not a lazy eater! |
So, Cole is almost ready to eat again, so I need to wrap it up! I hope you've enjoyed reading about our boring last two weeks.... There will be more boring stories to follow later!
