Cochran's: Its been a while...

Wow I havent updated in a long time! Things have been kinda crazy and I honestly never even get the chance to sit down at the computer anymore, unless we are skyping with James. Connor will be 6 weeks on Tuesday, my oh my where did the time go?! He was 5 pounds 11 ounces when he was born and as of yesterday he weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces!! He has really been growing! My family left about a week and a half ago and its just been me and Connor since then. Sometimes it gets really hard being alone. I am thankful for good friends here for me to lean on, but its just not like family. I miss having the help with Connor. I have been blessed with a very good baby, but it is still a little crazy at times. I am just having to get used to how much he can be content on his own and how much he wants to be held...and it differs from day to day. Today he was loving on some mommy!! He just wanted me to hold him ALL day! He would fall asleep in my arms and I would go to lay him down and he would wake up crying. So finally me and him snuggled up on the couch and took a good 45 min nap. It was really sweet :). I really miss James, but the time has seemed to go by fairly fast. We are already about 2 months into this deployment...only about 10 to go! Being a mommy is one of the most wonderful things I have experienced in life. It seems like no matter how my day is going, one smile from him makes everything better. He is just so sweet!!
