The first week

Cohen is such a good little boy. Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything by saying this, but it really hasn't been difficult at all. He only cries when he's hungry or if he lost his pacifier. He sleeps up to 4 hours a night. He's just a pleasant, lovable, cuddly little guy. I realize that his temperament can change in a flash, but we're definitely enjoying the first week of life with a perfect little baby.

Here are a few milestons of his first week:

Monday: home from the hospital
Tuesday: Neighbors Kelli, Kevin and Mitch come to visit. They bring pot roast, brownies, etc.
Wednesday: Daddy went back to work. Mommy was a little worried, but it went just fine for reasons described above.
Wednesday: first outing (walk to Crestbruck park in sling. Neither Mommy or Cohen liked the sling very much and it may be going back to Target.)
Thursday: second outing (walk to the park in stroller. Mommy and Cohen liked it much better than the sling!)
Friday: 1-week appointment at the doctor. Cohen gained 3 oz since being discharged.
Friday: Mommy felt like crap and was diagnosed with mastitis and given antibiotics.
Friday: Cohen has mysterious rash on his chest, neck and face. Possible culprits: 1) baby acne 2) reaction to Mommy's antibiotics 3) another common baby skin issue that Mommy read about online. Can't think of the name right now.
Friday: Cohen loses his belly button stub.
Friday: Cohen's first bath sitting in water (the others have been sponge baths). He hated it.
Friday: Deb's friends Kelly and Elliott visit, bringing lasagna, cookies, and other goodies.
Friday: Cohen meets grandma Alice
Friday: Cohen, Mommy and Daddy go to Acorn Valley to join the Langel family at their annual camping trip. Cohen was a huge hit among his aunts, uncles and cousins.
Saturday: Cohen's aunts Vicki and Elaine and Vicki's family come to visit.
Saturday: another evening at Acorn Valley with the Langel clan.
