Baby Cohen

Well baby Cohen is now two weeks old. He is such a good baby! He has beautiful dimples and I love to comb and style his hair. All he does is sleep, and will barley whimper when he wants to eat or have his diaper changed. I guess I better keep my fingers crossed because he may wake up with vengeance soon. We are so blessed to have him in our family. Halle kindof likes him too...

Our Little Witch...

Well Halloween came upon us quickly this year. Little did I know that I would have a little pumpkin to hold as well as a jealous, naughty witch. Halle had tons of fun trick or treating with her dad, she was pretty shy about the whole thing, but eventually would whisper the words "twick or tweat" and slowly hold out her pumpkin pail. She is still enjoying her candy today (of course we have had to hide it and monitor her intake because she has such a sweat tooth).

Happy Halloween!!!!

Well I didn't quite make it out to get our little suprize baby a halloween costume, but he sure does make a cute pumpkin! (his jaundice adds to the effect). Hally is a scary witch and she can do some crazy things with her broom stick. Baby Cohen is doing great and is such a blessing.

Our baby boy is here! Born October 27th at 101 am. A lttle early, but still weighs 7 pounds 6 oz! We are all doing great....Halle could use a little more attention although she is a very good helper. Smile.

3 weeks left and counting!

Well as you can see I am really pregnant. Working in the NBICU makes you really apprecitate how far along 37 weeks really is!

This weekend Halle and I had pictures taken together to capture the great moment. Halle knows the baby is coming after Halloween and her favorite thing to do is to talk about how she is going to feed the new baby bottles. She is practicing hard with her dolls. She is also into pottty training all of her stuffed animals...i will have to keep a close eye on her once this baby

comes, or he may end up on her little potty!

Newport Beach

Well I have to post some pictures and these are the most recent. We spent a week in newport this summer and had a blast. Halle loved the sand...but didn't take to the water too much (probably because her over-protective father only allowed her to put her big toe in the water). It is amazing how fast kids can get completely covered in sand from head to toe. We had a great beach house and a lot of family.





The hightlight of the trip was taking Halle to Sea World. I wasn't sure how much she liked it until we returned home. She continues to ask to go see Shamoo every other day. Seaworld also brought out the child in me and I was reminded of my life long dream to "swim with the dolphins" For those of you who know me well this dream was poorly satisfied. Well I guess I am glad summer is over because I have a nice furnace inside of me and I am ready for the cold. Bye Bye
