I hate Dial Up

So it's taken me almost a week to even update cause everytime I try to upload pictures the phone rings and I have to answer it, so it kicks me off. Plus with our lovely dial up it takes like 10 min to upload one picture and if I try to upload more than one it takes forever and then times out and nothing gets uploaded. Such a wonderful thing that dial up. But no phone company can seem to be able to get dsl or cable out here in the stix. Maybe one day the can advance to what they claim they are capable of.

Ok, off my soapbox. We took Cole to his first doctors appt this past tuesday. He had gained a pound and grew 3/4 of an inch. Doctor said everything looks good and he's healthy. So YEAH!

Cadence enjoyed Mimi and Pop's visit so much last weekend. She loves her little potato head and buddies, so far we still have all the parts. Wonder how long that will last?

This weekend we are taking our first road trip. Even though it will only be 2 hours one way it's still the first. We are heading to Atlanta, Tx to visit Nick's grandmother. So far Cole is her third great grandbaby and she is just excited for us to be coming.

I wish I had a picture of Nick to post but I don't just yet, after this weekend I will. He had traveled back in time with a look from the 70's. The Fire dept. updated their facial hair rule where the guys can grow their moustache and inch below their lip and also be able to have a soul patch. Well Nick has taken advantage of that, plus his sideburns have gotten long and I'm sure it wouldn't take much to connect them to his moustache. Anyways, he looks goofy, and not to mention it makes him look older(dated). But he likes it and it makes me laugh so I'm not gonna make him shave it. But I will definately get a picture.

Have a great weekend!

Trying again

He's so laid back, can't you tell!


So, I had a whole page written earlier this afternoon and I was waiting on these pictures to upload and somehow Cadence figured out how to turn the computer off and it shut down and I lost the whole page. But I was mainly just wanting to put these pictures up cause they are just the cutest.
Yesterday Cadence was just really wanting to hold Cole, so she laid down and I laid him next to her and then ran to get the camera. They are so sweet together. She's such a loving and helpful big sis. Anyways, she is anxiously waiting on Mimi and Pops visit tomorrow, I will definately have pictures of that. Have a great day!

Just the three of us

Ok, so yesterday Nick had to work and it was just me, Cadence, and Cole. Mom, I salute you! Two kids is tiring, I don't know if I could handle two more. I'm worn out after trying to keep Cadence from bothering Cole when he's sleeping, and trying to nurse him and watch her. Thank goodness for my travel swing, that comes in mighty handy at bath time. And wow I forgot how much infants sleep, I just wish Cadence would take more than one nap. But even getting her down for that one is a struggle. She does however go to bed so much easier with the twin bed, after bath she gets in her jammies, brushes her teeth, and climbs into bed. It's sorta a routine now, but it's great cause she's in bed by 9 and soon asleep. Cole on the other hand decides that after his 10 o'clock feeding he wants to stay up till his next one at 12, then he'll sleep and wake up every two hours on the dot for nursing. Much better than his up all night long the first night we got home. He's adjusted very well, and noises won't bother him. I ran the vacuum last night and he didn't even budge, that boy can sleep through anything, of course that's good considering how loud his sister can be during the day. Today Nick is back, so I get to rest some. Although he gets Cadence riled up. But he gets to deal with her. We are still waiting to see if she is going to turn into a daddy's girl, so far not so much. Anyways, nap time is over and it's feeding time. TTFN

BowmanFam is on the blog

Ok, So I finally decided to do what everyone else does and blog. Since I have the next 11 weeks to be at home with my 2 kids I'll need something to do when they are napping or in bed.

We made it home from the hospital finally on Thurs night. They let us leave about 9:30pm. Cole is doing wonderful, he's a strong, healthy baby boy. No jaundice thank goodness, no glowworm again. His coloring however is very red. Nick is 1/16 indian and it came out in him. When he gets mad his skin doesn't get any redder, it can't. But he has the sweetest cry, when he does cry, which isn't often at all. He has a big appetite also his feedings usually last about 30-40 min. Longer sometimes when he takes naps during them. He is sleeping a lot, but still manages to keep us up most of the night. Cadence is a loving big sister, always wanting to hold him when he starts to cry. She'll raise her hands and say 'mere, 'mere. She constantly wants to be around him and giving him kisses. However, she shows small signs of jealousy, she's started sucking on his passy and she'll sit in his swing when he's not in it. I try to get her involved in the diaper changes, I've let her wipe his bottom and she'll even throw the diaper in the trash. She loves it. It's so neat seeing how he reacts to the world and remembering when Cadence was that little and how she reacted. He is so much more laid back and content which I thought would have been impossible cause of how laid back and content Cadence was at that age. She also has much more of a temper than he does. I think he takes after me! Well it's bedtime for mommy, I'll post more later with more pictures.
