Colin is One Month!

Tomorrow is Colin's one month check up with our pediatrician. She will weigh him again and give us his new percentages. Last appointment, he weighed 7.5 lbs and was in the 10-25% for height and weight but his head circumference was 85% percentile.

He's definitely growing - I know this bc he now has more wardrobe choices! His 0-3 month clothes are finally starting to fit, and I've had fun playing dress up. I love the footed pjs and anything blue brings out the blue in his eyes. Wonder if those baby blues will change color? Fingers crossed they don't chance bc as a "brown eyed girl" I have always wanted blue.

Colin's new schedule is sleep for three 3-hour shifts and wake up around 7 am. Unfortunately, mornings are his happy time (my not-so-happy time) so we "play" on the activity mat and take a walk in the BOB most every day. Then, if he won't take a nap around lunch, I give him a bath and hope that brings sleep. Yesterday, he only took one 2-hour nap all day long. He's definitely more alert now, and it's fun to watch him explore his new environment. David thinks he's obsessed with lights and ceiling fans, but I think that's what you tend to look at when you lie on your back all day.
