The Cox Family: January 2011

I cannot believe our son is one month old ALREADY! Seems like only yesterday he was born! He is growing like a weed! I call him a hoss because he's so big! At his 2 week appointment, he already weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces, so I think he's definitely on his way to 9 pounds by now! He is definitely a good eater. Can't say much about being a good sleeper quite yet, but we're working on it! So some updates...

As I mentioned earlier, Jaden's 2 week appointment went well. He's grown to 20 inches and already had gained a whole pound! I can't believe how big he's getting. At one month, he's almost outgrown the newborn outfits. I'm thankful he still swims in the 0-3 month outfits :)

Jaden enjoyed his first Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Martin and Grandma and Grandpa Fanous. Let's just say he stole everyone's hearts this Christmas. He's such a stud! :) We got to go to Iowa for a week and a half and it was positively amazing to be with family for that long. Chris and I were so grateful for the help of family :) Jaden got several ridiculously cute outfits from family but I have to say our most memorable gift was from Uncle Ty-pee pee teepees. Seriously-no joke! They are these cone shaped clothes that you put over baby's wee wee while you change them so they won't pee on you! We love them! Thanks Uncle Ty! :)

Jaden helped Daddy celebrate my birthday on the 7th. They took me to Red Lobster-love their cheddar biscuits (I think I ate 5 or 6 of them!) and then to the mall. They bought me my annual pair of fat pants and a comfy shirt and sweatshirt as well. It was a great birthday with the family and very good to get out of the house!

I'm recovering well-thankfully. I feel as though I'm almost 100%...I still have to be careful not to overdo it when we do go out, but so much better than right after birth of course :) Jaden is sleeping between 3 and 4 hours at a time at night so mommy and daddy are thankful for that! We are definitely looking forward to the day when he pulls his first 6 hour stretch! :)

Other than that, not much else to report! Enjoy some pictures of Jaden in his first month of life! :) The last 2 pictures are some of my favorite! Aunt Kara and Uncle Adam got Jaden some Winnie-the-Pooh bath attire and towels-he looked so ridiculously cute in his robe and slipper/booties! I LOVED IT!!!
