Colin is 10 Weeks Old

Last week Colin was able to meet and spend time with his Great Aunt Dixie. Thankfully she brought the warm weather with her from Florida. We were able to go out on a long walk on Thursday and then on Friday Colin had his first trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Overall we had a really great weekend with Dixie and can't wait for her to visit again.

Today Colin and I went to a place called My Gym where there was a social outing for the Moms and kids in our zip code who are members of the northside parents network. Although Colin was the youngest and obviously couldn't do a lot of playing with the other kids, he really enjoyed watching them play and seeing all of the brightly colored toys. We also sang songs together and danced. Thank goodness we had an indoor activity as it hasn't really stopped raining since Saturday.

Our little smiley guy! Isn't he cute!

9 Weeks

Colin had his 2 month doctor visit last Friday, 2/27. He is officially weighing in at 12lbs. 10 oz and is 23 inches long. Our little boy is definitely a healthy, happy boy! He also received his 2 month vaccinations and it was definitely more traumatic for me than it was for him.

After his doctor's visit, Colin's Grandparents Mills visited. Colin instantly broke into smiles and coos when he saw his Grandparents. We all enjoyed their visit including Rob and I who were able to go out for a bit Saturday night. Thank you! For whatever reason, Colin loves his changing table and seems to be the most active and happy when he is on it. I guess getting a clean diaper would make anyone happy :)

We received some lake effect snow on Sunday, but that didn't stop us from going to a yummy brunch. Our little Chicago Baby just bundled up and slept through the whole walk and breakfast.

Today Colin was able to meet yet another friend, Sarah Dingeldein. Sarah is 3 weeks old and the daughter of one of my lifelong friends, Leslie. We have known each other a long time and it is so fun that we now have children who are so close in age. Colin and I had such a nice, relaxing afternoon with Sarah and Leslie. She is adorable! I can't believe Colin was ever that small.
