Colin 1 Month

I realize I am little overdue, technically Colin is 5 1/2 weeks today. However we have definitely been keeping busy over the past couple weeks. We had some more visitors, Ann, Gretchen and Patsy came to visit Colin. Plus his Grandparents Mills came to visit as well since the last time they saw him was in the hospital. Wow has he changed since then. We also had my Director, Jenni visit us with her daughter Maddie. They were so cute together!

Colin is now more alert during the day. He definitely notices colors and noises when you put toys in front of him. We are starting to see hints of a smile every now and then. He is just getting stronger and bigger every day. He now takes a bottle once a day. He took to the bottle very easily and we have not had any problems. Rob is now enjoying bonding with Colin when he gives him a bottle for one of his feedings each night. Plus, I can get some additional sleep!

Our days when Rob is at work are full of diaper changes, sleeping, playing, tummy time, singing, dancing and eating. Sometimes it can be a little challenging on the sleeping. We definitely try and get out for some fresh air when the temp. is over 25, but that has been rare the past couple weeks. In addition, I have started our search for a Nanny for once I go back to work. I can't believe my maternity leave is already 1/2 over. Wow, has time flown.

Our nights changed once he hit 5 weeks. He is not falling asleep quite as easily as he used to. Although he is still sleeping for a good 3-4 hrs once he falls asleep. It is a bit harder to get him back to sleep during the night once he is up. We have had a lot of late night floor walks. Although he slept for 7 hrs. straight the other night!

On the weekends, Rob and I have been just enjoying our time with Colin. Unfortunately both Colin and I were asleep before the Superbowl even started last weekend! Don't worry, I saw the commercials online the next day.
