Colby - three months old

We don't have a three month check up, but I'm guessing C2 is around 17-18 lbs. we will see in a couple of weeks!

For my mommy records:
We 'aim' for this schedule right now.

7-8 C1 wakes up depending on day
7:30 C2 wakes up to nurse
9 ish C2 morning nap; eats when he wakes up about 5 oz bottle
C1 is in full swing playing or going to school
11:30/12 lunch time
1 C2 eats about 5 oz
1:30 nap time for all (this doesn't always work!)
4 C2 eats
5 ish C2 catnap
6:30 Dinner time
7:30 C2 eats and has a bath
8 C1 has a bath and story time before bed (usually all with daddy!)

Colby bear,
You're such an easy baby. You are definitely a "second child" that just goes with the flow! You're very patient in every way, except when it comes time to eat. When you're hungry you let is know! You love watching you're big brother run around like a mad man. You smile and giggle and copy facial expressions and mouth movements. You're starting to try grab toys and you love music. You're not caring too much about your paci right now. You have discovered your thumb and seem to prefer sucking on it.
You're an international traveler at 3 month 1 week old. You've been on five airplanes so far!
You've been to visit all your cousins in SA and meet your Gigi. She adores you.
You HATE tummy time, which is a small issue, but we will figure it out!
You often remind us of your Papa Mac in Heaven. There are times when you look just like him. Boy he would adore you ad your big bro! He's your guardian angel now and watches over you.

Keep growing sweet, happy boy! I just can't get enough of you.

Colby - two months old

June 1, 2013

Colbs weighed 13 lbs 14 oz at his 2 month appointment. WOW. This boy is growing and healthy!

I'm happy to say he outgrew his grumpy / fussiness that we enduring during month one.

For my mommy records:
He nurses every 3 hours with a 'dream feed' at 11 pm. He wakes between 5 and 6 a.m. but goes right back to sleep after nursing. I'm pretty sure this counts as sleeping through the night?! This started around 6 weeks.

What he loves: still lovin his wubanub Paci's. We have now the collection, including the elephant and frog.

He loves watching his big brother, who's quite the busy bee these days.

He got a passport and at 2 months and 1 week old went on his first International flight!

Colby bear,
You're giving us the BEST smiles and gurgling sounds right now. You smile with your whole face. It lights up the room and melts my heart! We are much more in sync and getting in a routine with eating and sleeping. (Just in time to leave for overseas!) You love watching your big brother and smile every time he talks. He loves giving you random kisses and rocks you if you start to cry.
We love you little man!
