I'm beginning to think I'm going to survive this motherhood thing (up until this week it was debatable). Colin might be entering a growth spurt. He has a huge appetite and he is eating more often this week. My boobs can hardly keep up, but now I know why he's been so fussy lately. Yesterday I found a genius solution to quiet his cries! I loaded his screaming butt in the car, turned up David's rap music and rolled down the windows. Just like magic, he feel asleep before I reached Starbucks. What a great trick?!? In fact, my housekeeper told me yesterday that my house was "too quiet" and she proceeded to turn on the vacuum cleaner. That also did the trick!
In other news, Colin is peeling and popping baby acne. He was absolutely perfect when was born, but now he's going through his first awkward stage. Not to worry, the pediatrician said it would heal in a few weeks. He has his one month appointment later this week. I'm curious to see how much he weighs now. It's funny to think that one day this little guy is going to be bigger than me!!!
Of course you will survive motherhood! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new haircut... look ssuper cute!
Love all of your posts. If your house is too quiet, get a white noise machine and put it in his crib. It works WONDERS. I wish someone would have told me that with Harrison. :)
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the book , "Happiest Baby on the Block". The vacuum trick is in there and if that worked, I bet all of his other tricks will work too. We got the white noise machine from Brookstone on Rebecca's suggestion...it is awesome! The three week mark was the fussiest Olivia ever was. It gets better from here!
