Coy - 2 months old

At 2 months old, Coy...

Weighs 12 in 2 oz :)

Is 22 1/2 inches long

Nurses/eats every 3 hours and 15 minutes. When he does take a bottle it is 3 ounces of pumped breast milk. I have been giving him one bottle every day since he was about 3 weeks old. He uses Dr. Brown bottles. 

Wears size newborn diapers (but is moving up to size 1 RIGHT NOW!) and is in 0-3 and 3 month size clothes. He is definitely a chunk! 

His favorite toy is between the swing and the baby mat. He loves laying in the swing and talking to the little elephants that hang over it but... Our swing has died. :( We got the swing used and Levi barely used it but Coy has loved it since day one at home. We definitely got the $20 out of it with Coy! :) The baby mat is also a favorite for Coy. He does tummy time and naps on it and sometimes he just hangs out looking around on it. He is *starting* to like the bouncer but the swing is still his favorite.

He loves his big brother, bath time, and being tickled on his nose! Yes, Coy is ticklish on his nose!!!!! He has the SWEETEST little smile and his little eyes just light up when you talk to him or he is laughing. And bath time is his absolute favorite time of the day! As soon as I put him in the water he just starts looking around with great big, round eyes, laughing and splashing! Melts my heart!! :) I have taken to calling him a koi fish,so he is "Coy the koi fish".... LOL!

Still sleeps a good bit during the day. He goes through longer wake periods in the morning and afternoon but the middle of the day (between 10-3:30/4:00) he sleeps most days. 

Wakes up once during the night *on most nights*. If he does wake up more than once I nurse him the first time and then try to give him a paci after that. I do this because I learned with his big brother that unless I want to nurse multiple times every night for the next six months, I needed to start "sleep training" early! Not that I consider what I do sleep training... It is just my version of what I think is best for me and my baby! :)

Gives the absolute best snuggles! He loves to be held close and sleeps best on my chest. When people hold him I just tell them to "hold him close" and he just snuggles right in! If he is awake and someone is holding him, he wants to be UP on your shoulder or sitting facing out, no cradle hold for this big boy! ;)

Holds his head about 80% of the time. As mentioned before, he likes to be up if he is awake while you hold him so I have just let him hold his own head and he does a great job! I actually tried to put him in the big jumper that we have but he is still too small for the seat! 

Has rolled over a few times! He doesn't seem to like tummy time all that much but have just let him fuss for a little while when lo and behold the next thing I know he has rolled over! The first time he did it I didn't get to see how he rolled, the next day I watched him close during tummy time and there he went! :) I was super excited for him! Yay Coy!!!!

Look at this!! Aren't they the sweetest?!?!?!

Poor Coy.... LOL!

This picture was taken at roughly 5:00am... He was so happy!!!

Happy 2 months Coy!! We love you to infinity and beyond!!

Wiggle Worm

I don't know about y'all but when I was young (my entire childhood) I was told two things: 

1. "Be still! You are such a wiggle worm!" - And all I could think was that I couldn't help it! It was just something I did....

2. "One day you will pay for your raising." -

Yes well, it seems my sweet and prefect Levi has inherited a gene called "You are such a wiggle worm gene" and I am paying for being a wiggle worm back then... Seriously, he is such a wiggle worm!! 

I lay down with him for him to take a nap and go to sleep at night then I sneak off while he sleeps peacefully. But to get him to go to sleep is crazy! He wiggles and turns and tosses and wiggles some more for a good little while before FINALLY giving up and going to sleep.... And while he wiggles, all I can think is "He is such a wiggle worm!" I guess he just has too much energy to just be still long enough to drift off to sleep. Either way, it is so funny to me and the irony of it all is not lost on me!! ;)

After his wiggle worm session he sleeps so very peacefully! <3

My hands...

Are ful!!! 

But heart... If only you could see it!! These two boys have completely stolen my heart and ran away with it!! They are absolutely wonderful!! Yes, there are multiple times a day when I think "What was The Good Lord thinking giving me TWO people to take care of!??!" But mostly I think "Wow!! How wonderful are these little boys?!?!?"

This is after nap time on a Sunday afternoon (the only nap time that I indulge in too!) Levi woke up a came straight to me so he could finish waking up all the way in my arms.... I was already holding Coy because he just sleeps soooo good that way! 😉 Please also notice that Levi is holding Coy's hand. Absolutely the most precious thing ever!

Levi holding my hand while he watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.... He just held out his hand and grabbed mine...

The stack of books I read to Levi while nursing Coy before Levi could take a nap. Most days Coy has to eat around 12:30 which is around the same time I used to put Levi down for his nap... That has changed to sometimes I read at least 15 books while I nurse Coy and sometimes Levi is so tired he lies down on the couch and goes to sleep ever so peacefully...

Just look at these two! They are seriously the best!! :)

Melt. My. Heart. 😍😍😍😍

Welcome Aizen!

On Tuesday September 1 at 12:31pm we got to welcome the newest little addition to our family, Aizen Kemp Winslow!! He weighed 8.1 lb and was 21 inches long!!

When he was first born he took in some fluid and had to be put in the NICU for the time being. Kara and Robby asked for prayers and just a short while later, sweet Aizen started improving!! How amazing is our God?!?!!!! Now his lungs are completely cleared up (after only 3 days) and he and Kara were able to successfully breastfeed! :) He did develop jaundice (which is normal for a baby in NICU) and had to put under the light. Now all they are waiting on his his billy ribbon levels to go down. I'm confident in saying that they appreciated and still appreciate all prayers for Aizen to get those levels down and for him to continue to stay healthy after they get home. :)

Isn't he just the cutest nephew ever?!?!?!?

He was also born with a head full of blond hair and a dimple in his cute little chin! ;)
