Short Update

Cole will be three weeks old onTuesday and all of our help has gone... Ben, Luke, Cole and I are officially on our own!  Fortunately, Cole is a great baby and Luke is a good big brother!  I've been sick with a terrible cold for the past 6 days and am just now starting to feel better.  Thank goodness my mom and Edgy were here to take care of Luke and Cole, I don't know what I would have done.

Cole had his check up last week and grew half an inch and gained almost a pound since he left the hospital.  He eats quite a bit, and gets up about every 2.5 hours to eat.  He is staying awake during the day more and more, and we all love watching him look around.  Luke likes to mimick Cole's sounds, and his hand motions and is constantly asking "what is he doing?"

Luke had a great time with all of his grandparents and was completely spoiled by all.  It is going to take a couple days for us to get back on "our" schedule, and for Luke to get used to the fact that he doesn't have someone's attention 100% of the time.  We all miss our family already and are looking forward to their return visits... Nanny and Pop are due back in less than two weeks for Christmas :0)
