The family, 3 weeks later




How's it going out there? Haven't seen to many comments, so I figured you're just as lazy as I am when writing. Haha.

Well, we're still here, sleepy eyed and all. Actually, it hasn't been to bad. Cole only seems to cry when he's hungry. He doesn't cry about anything else, which is the total opposite of Brenden. Don't know if this is the case known as, good kid-bad kid (or was that good cop-bad cop), who knows. I guess we'll really see in due time.


Cole is progressing very well. He actually gave the Dr. a shock this past week when he had his weekly checkup. The Dr. told us that Cole will gain approx. half a pound a week. Last week to this one he gained 1 full pound. What a little porker. At this rate, he'll catch right up to Brenden in no time. So Cole is now listed at about 7 pounds, up from 5lbs 4oz when he left the hospital. He has just surpassed Brenden's birth weight of 6lbs 13oz.
Other than that there's not much to say about Cole. Eat, sleep and poop is pretty much his standard routine.

Brenden is handling Cole really well. Actually he doesn't really pay much attention to Cole. He's more about his books, toys and Dora & Diego than his baby brother Cole. Next week is Brendens' last week in daycare, so he'll have to get used to him being around all the time. Right now, Brenden really only sees him at night time and on the weekends. Soon it will be 24/7. Michelle will really have her hands full then, since I'll be at work 5 days a week.

As far as Brenden, that kid is everywhere. Climbs on the couch, up and down stairs, chases the cats around, etc. Unfortunately for us, Brenden has hit the 'terrible twos' early. He thinks by saying "no" that he can get what he wants, all the time. Not the case. I'm not going to let him bully me around. Haha.

I'll make sure I put up a post the first week after Brenden is out of daycare to let you know how it went. Michelle may need to write that post up since I'll be at work and will miss it.

Anyway, have to go get Brenden ready for his swimming lessons soon. He is almost finished level 2. He loves swimming on Saturdays. Have a good one. Over and out.
