Our Growing Family

 


 Cohen is definitely our little butter ball. At three weeks he is tipping the scale at 10 pounds. He continues to be a wonderful baby, although he is not sleeping quite as well as he was for the first two weeks. I am not complaining though, I am just great full that when I was recovering from a c-section he allowed me to get some good rest. I mean you expect not to get much sleep when you have kids, right. I think that every time our children have starting sleeping all night long is when I get the itch to have another one. So lucky for Cody....Cohen is not sleeping the 6-7 hours that he was originally!!!!

So far I would have to say that the transition from two to three has not been that difficult. I think that adding a third just seems like what is suppose to happen. Chandler and Creed have naturally both matured a little and have made the transition pretty smooth.     
One thing is for sure, adding a third has made me get just a little more organized with my day. And for the people that know what a scheduler and "live by the calendar" kind of person I am, I bet you thought getting more scheduled was not possible, but it is.

 Creed has become a big boy now, and is not babied quite as much. I have held onto his "baby" stage for so long because of how sick he was when he was born. Our toddler have really started to depend on each other a little bit more. They play so well with each other and Creed really looks up to Chandler as his big sister. She helps him to get things that he needs, reads to him, puts his shoes on, makes sure that he is not playing in the potty, praises him, loves him, and is all around the perfect sister to him. Creed is very lucky to have a sister who loves him so much. 

All in all I would have to just say that adding a new baby to our house has just made Love grow in the Fuller house. Not only has my heart gotten bigger with love for a new baby, but with love for Chandler and Creed as well. It is amazing to watch your children love a baby and to accept their new roles as big brother and big sister x2. Cohen has definitely added smiles and lots of kisses to our family. Children truly are Gods biggest blessing. I love to see what he has in store for our little growing family. I am blessed to be the mommy of three of Gods most perfect creations.

Cohen David Fuller

Welcoming our newest little bundle. Cohen David was born on February 22, 2011 at 8:34 AM. He weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and 19.5 inches long. He was born by csection due to his breech presentation. As many of you know Creed was also breech and I was planning on doing a VBAC, but God and this little man had other plans. He has just been a bundle of JOY. He has by far been my easiest baby and the other two were pretty darn good themselves. He usually goes to sleep around 10:00 and does not wake up until 4:00 AM, he will then sleep until about 7:30. He is constantly held and loved on by at least one member of the family. Chandler at age 3 1/2 is already babysitting. She is my little mommy! She is really enjoying having a live baby doll in the house. After about 5 changes of clothes in one day, I finally had to limit her to changing his clothes only once a day....after he takes a bath. Creed has done remarkably well, I expected since he is still a baby himself that he would have a hard time adjusting but he is just loving having a baby brother as well. Every morning when he wakes up the first thing that he does is run to the bassinet and look to give his brother a kiss. He is constantly trying to lay on top of him to give him hugs and slobbering on his face to give him a kiss. Besides the fact that his definition of soft and mine are a little different.....everything is going well. We are all very blessed by this little man, and without further ado....
