Grandparents, a Jumperoo and an Ear Infection

We had a great time with Nana and Pop this past weekend! The weather was beautiful and Hank and Grady really enjoyed having Bill around! We are looking forward to seeing GG this weekend. Today is GG's birthday...happy birthday! And happy late birthday to Nana.

Cohen with Nana (Debbie) and Pop (Bill)

Cohen is getting bigger and smarter by the day, so we bought him this fun Laugh & Learn Jumperoo. He loves it! He is a little short in it, but we solved that problem by stacking some books underneath his feet.


Cohen and the Three Little Pigs

Mom took Cohen to the doctor yesterday because he was kind of fussy, and she knew something had to be wrong with her sweet boy. Sure enough, Cohen has a little ear infection. He started antibiotics and seems to be his happy old self again! The doctor weighed him, and he's now 14 pounds 7 ounces. Our little man is getting so big!

Spring Baby

Courtney is at it again!  We celebrated Cohen's three month birthday in the warm weather as sweet Courtney snapped pictures to capture the special day.  She did an amazing job because Cohen is a total wiggle worm these days, and he was not all about posing like the last time she took pictures.  Thank you Courtney!  You really are the best.

Night Out

We had our first night out away from Cohen, and it went great! We celebrated Laura's birthday at Strike City last night. Katie had a hard time leaving Cohen behind, but he was happy and sound asleep at home with Nana and Pop. Unfortunately, FSU lost to Wisconsin, but at least Katie dominated David on the lanes!

"I'm not so sure about this guys..." - Thanks Nana and Pop for watching me!

Shorty Got Low

Hey ladies, check out my moves.

Happy Birthday Auntie Laura

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone...and happy birthday LL! We can't wait to celebrate on Friday!

Been sippin' on grandpa's cough medicine? You'd shut your mouth if you knew what was good for ya.

Three Months Old

Our little three month old is all grown up! He has the sweetest personality and a smile that melts our hearts. We are reaching many milestones with Cohen! He talks up a storm, laughs all the time, takes a bottle, holds his head up on his own, rolls over during tummy time, loves walks in his stroller, has a pretty set daily routine, etc. We have fun during music time every day, and his favorite show is Word World. Mommy is so thankful that she gets to spend every day at home with Cohen. He lights up as soon as Daddy walks in the door every evening.

We are trying to transition Cohen to the crib in his room. He is not loving it, and he usually ends up passing out in his chair for naps during the day. We bought a mobile for his crib, and he fell asleep on his own twice yesterday! Hopefully he'll learn to love his crib soon. Also, Cohen has really taken to his two blankies - Chuck the Giraffe (see above) and Stanley the Monkey (not pictured).


We have a thumb sucker! Cohen's hands are constantly in his mouth. He isn't partial to just his fingers...he loves to grab our hands and put them in his mouth too.

You don't say!

Cohen went bananas when the weather warmed up this week!

Happy Birthday Grady

It was seven years ago today that the most beautiful dog was born. On March 10, 2002, Grady Gainer came into this world. Thank you Grady for making the past seven years so much fun. You are definitely one of a kind. Happy birthday Biggie! We love you so much.

Snow Day!

We had our annual March snow last night! The dogs are loving it - Grady is eating as much snow as possible. It's beautiful outside, but the snow is melting quickly, and we will soon be living in slush for a few days. Oh well! Spring will be here before we know it.

Sir Talks-a-Lot

Cohen is talking up a storm these days. Here's a conversation he had with Dad this morning.

Results Are In...

Most people think Cohen looks JUST like his daddy.  Well, news flash everyone.  According to the Look-alike Meter, our little boy has some of mama's good qualities too!

Thanks Aunt Courtney!






For crying out loud!  Are we done already?

Our sweet friend, Courtney, took some great pictures of Cohen a couple of weeks ago!  It was a photo shoot to remember...especially the pictures we took without a diaper.  :)  Our sweet son was 8 weeks in these photos, and we will cherish the memories forever!  Courtney, thank you so much!

He is so cute...when he is sleeping!


Pam used to always say this to David when he was a little boy. It's true! Cohen is so cute when he is sleeping...I just stare at him, waiting for him to wake up and play with me. Cohen has always taken after his mommy - he loves his sleep! We are now enjoying 6 plus hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. Cohen usually wakes up once to eat and immediately falls back to sleep until late morning. What an angel!

Play Date


Cohen had his first play date on Wednesday! My friend, Deborah, brought her adorable daughter, Julia, over to hang out. She is 11 days younger than Cohen. Deborah and I caught up on mommy stuff while the babies were mesmerized by the Baby Einstein video. Hopefully it is the first of many fun play dates!

Chance made us Sisters, hearts made us friends.


I love my little sister, Laura.  She's the best friend a girl could have!
I saw this quote, and it made me laugh...
"If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and can't catch your eye, she's wearing your best sweater." - Pam Brown
I guess this is the grown-up version of your letter to me, written in crayon, about wearing your favorite sweater to school.  :)

Oh Good Lawd!


LG's 26th was one to remember.  All I've got to say is Go Rattlers and can I get a Milano cookie?  Can't wait for the big 2-7!

Bath Time!

From this...

To this.

Cohen LOVES bath time!  He enjoys a "hot bath" every night just like GG.  :)


He's here!


Cohen David Hathaway made his debut at 7:44 p.m. on December 6, 2008.  He weighed 6 lbs, 13 oz and he is the most beautiful baby in the world!  We are such proud parents...many bragging posts coming soon...
