Dear Cohen,

Wow, I can't believe that you were 3 weeks old yesterday. Time really does fly by, just as everyone said it would. I am making sure I enjoy every minute with you though, and I know that every minute is so incredibly precious.

Yesterday was a rough day, wasn't it? I've been so stressed out that you haven't been eating enough (because you prefer sleeping to anything else) and then I went and ate too many bran/flax seed muffins the night before and gave you FAR too much gas. I'm so sorry. It's hard knowing what I can eat and what I can't. So far beans of any sort are out of the question (too bad because I do love the beans) and broccoli is a no no too. Now bran muffins. Oh, and I think pizza doesn't agree with you, which is really too bad because it tastes so good.

But today is a new day and it seems you're more back to your normal sleepy, content self.

You know, I still can't get over how much I love you. From the moment I found out you existed, I have cried just thinking about you. And then when I heard your first cry, I was smitten. And now that I have all these crazy hormones surging through me, I cry even more. Just the other day I sobbed as I told you how much I loved you. You just stared at me with your big blue eyes and smiled, which made me cry even more. I'm just so in love with you and I can't imagine my life without you. (I can't even see the computer screen through all the tears that are POURING out of my eyes right now).

I love the way you make this little sound when you yawn. I try to imagine if that's the way your voice will sound when you start to "ooh" and "aah" or say "Mama" or "Dadda" (Please say Mama first!!). I need to get it on video so I never forget it, but I don't think I will. It's already burned into my brain.

I also love the way when you stretch after waking up, you throw your head back, ball your fists up next to your cheeks, and move your head back and forth with a grunting sound. At 4:00 a.m. it's my favourite thing in the world.

You are the best thing that has happened to me since meeting and marrying your dad, and I just had to get it down in writing for you to one day read.

Love,
Mom xoxo

Here's a photo I took of you your first week home. Miss. Stacey and her family gave this to you and you look so freaking cute in it. This photo makes me laugh HARD because you kept tipping over, which is what you did right after I snapped this one.

You after one of your bath times. You have such fun hair!

In another outfit from Miss. Stacey. You are so cute I want to squeeze you really hard...but I won't. Instead I'll just kiss you over and over and over.
