It has been a busy month...

Colin is now 15 weeks and wow has he changed. He has been holding his head up now for a couple weeks. Although he isn't loving being on his tummy, he is getting more comfortable with it everyday. This morning we went to get him out of his crib and he had rolled over onto his one side. He tried very hard (as evidenced by his grunting) to complete the roll over to his tummy, however he couldn't figure out what to do with that darn arm. My guess is he may roll over from his back to front before he rolls over from his tummy to back. So we will see...

Well I have been officially back to work now for 3 weeks. We have been able to get in a pretty good routine and that has been great for all of us. As a result (or at least this is my theory) of the routine, Colin has been sleeping like a champ. He goes down around 8p and sleeps until 6:30a. We know we are extremely lucky and each night cross our fingers that he does it again. I am sure it will change soon but we will take it and be appreciative for now.

The past month has been an active one. Both sets of Grandparents visited. Colin celebrated his first St. Patrick's Day. He met our friends Jennifer Anderson and Chad. He participated in his first Easter Egg Hunt. Really he just watched the big kids look for eggs. But he really enjoyed watching them. Plus he has been back to the zoo multiple times since his first visit with his Aunt Dixie.

Currently his Aunt Becky is visiting and enjoying all of the smiles and cuddles that Colin gives. Yesterday we went to a nice Easter Brunch and then spent the rest of the day at the Zoo and the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Today was the Cubs home opener and we braved the rainy, cold weather and headed up to Wrigley. Trust me, Colin was the warmest and driest out of the three of us. But hey, a boy only has one first Cubs home opener. And yes, the Cubs won! Although we ended up watching it at home, in front of a fire under a blanket:)
