Update on our Kitty

(this is an old picture)

Well, we picked up our kitty from the vet and she is doing good now that she is home. The vet thinks she was hit by a car because she has a broken jaw. She is still pretty groggy from the anesthesia (she had to have x-rays), but she has started to eat which is good. The vet said he thinks she really needs surgery, but that is definitely not in our budget so we are going to see if she can get better on her own. She is on a strict diet of soft food only and has to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks. We hope our kitty gets better soon, we don't want to have to put her to sleep.

Cohen is 2 Months Old

This is Cohen Wednesday when he turned 8 weeks old. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. He is quite big for his age (his grandma Janice says he is bigger than his 5 month old cousin Bron), but we think he's perfect of coarse.

Kiegen is such a great big brother! The other day I came out and Kiegen had moved Cohen from the swing to his bouncy chair. When I asked Kiegen why he had moved Cohen, he made the common "cuhh" sound then said "because he was bored of swinging mom". I thought it was cute and funny even though we did have a talk about picking up little brother.

Here is Cohen yesterday when he actually hit the 2 month mark. He is starting to smile and talk all the time and I love it! He is so fun and just like his brother, he loves being outside. Whenever he is fussy I just have to take him outside and he calms right down.

Our Poor Kitty

This is our Cat the day before yesterday enjoying Cohen's vibrating chair.

This is our Cat last night when she came home obviously injured by who knows what. The left side of her mouth, which you can't really see was torn away from her jawline and her eye was draining some bloody fluid. Her face is very swollen and I hope she will not have any permanent damage. We took her to the vet this morning so we'll see how it goes.

Kiegen is very upset about our Kitty's injuries and keeps telling me that which ever animal did this is "going to pay". How sweet to defend his cat, but I don't know where he learned that phrase or the concept of revenge.

Cohen's First Smile

Today we were hanging out and Cohen started cooing. As we cooed back at him he started smiling. It took us a couple tries, but we finally got it on camera. Granted he has smiled before, but never in response to us. Isn't he so cute?!!

Our First Post

We have decided to give blogging a try. I will admit it is a little difficult to get everything set up, but thanks to Tyra, I think I am ready to go.

Just a quick summary of our family....We Nieffenegger's live in Rigby, Idaho and we've been here a little over 2 years.

Spencer is building log homes in Island Park and has started his own log home supplies business which he is really great at. Tamia is currently staying home with her boys and loves it!

Kiegen is 4 1/2 and is so smart and active, he keeps both mom and dad on their toes. He is a great big brother and can't wait until Cohen can play with him.

Cohen is just 7 weeks old and is such a sweet little baby. He hardly ever cries and is almost sleeping through the night already.



We couldn't feel more blessed to have these 2 sweet spirits in our home.

Well, we are hoping that we will be able to better keep in touch with family and friends, find old friends, and make new ones.
