One Month

First of all I need to apologize for my lack of blogging lately but let's be honest being a new mama is much more fun than sitting at my computer.  So I am soaking up this time with Colin.  Please forgive me for my lack of posts but hopefully you understand my absence.  

Yesterday Colin turned one month old!  How did that happen?  How did the last month fly by?  Ryan and I have loved every moment of our new family of 3!  Colin is such a sweetheart and we feel ridiculously blessed to be his mom and dad!

Baby Stats:

Weight: At his two week appointment, he weight 9 lbs. 7.5 ounces.  We would guess he is closet to 11 lbs now.

Sleep: Bedtime is between 10-11.  He sleeps in about 2.5-3 hour increments all day and night.  Hoping to start stretching that longer!  He is pretty ready to get up by about 7:30.

Feeding: I am breastfeeding and that has been going really well.  I started pumping too and he had his first bottle last week.  That went really well so now Ryan can give him a bottle before bedtime.  Otherwise I nurse him about every 2-3 hours just sort of depends how fussy he is.  I am trying to stretch this too.

Diapers: size 1 (I was sort of sad when he grew out of the newborn size)

Clothing: size 0-3 months - again I was sadto put away his newborn sizes but they looked uncomfortable

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Daddy says brown, Mama says dark blue/grey/brown mix

Milestones: We have a ONE month old!

Nicknames: Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Eater (must be close to Thanksgiving)

Favorites: Activity gym, tummy time, and the Moby Wrap

Colin,

You have absolutely stolen my heart and I am totally in love with you.  You have been such a gift and my heart could explode with gratitude for you.  You have been a really good baby and we are thankful that you are healthy and doing so well.  You are a good eater and a pretty good sleeper- I would love if you started making longer stretches consistently but I will take 2.5-3 hours at a time.  You love your bath too!

I love seeing you with your daddy, it melts my heart.  He is crazy about you and has a hard time leaving in the morning and rushes home to come play with you.  You two will be two peas in a pod.  Daddy already says you are his best bud!

I am really excited for the upcoming holidays- Thanksgiving is in less than 3 weeks away!  I can't wait to start making our own family traditions too!  We love you so much and cannot wait to see you grow and hopefully find your voice in the coming month!

xoxo Mama
