Colin Bennett: 6 weeks!

Our stud is six weeks old today. Time is flying by... I can't believe I am half way through my maternity leave. :-/ I can't even think about how much I am going to miss my little guy once he goes off to daycare.

Aww Mom, do we have to take a six week picture? I just want to snooze. 

Weight:  No official weight check until his 2 month appointment on the 30th. We can tell he is chubbing up!

Health: Colin is doing GREAT! Mommy has a mild cold that we are trying to keep from the little guy-fingers crossed!

I certainly am a hunk!

Social: This week Colin got to visit with Daddy's side of the family at his cousin Rylee's 8th birthday party on the fourth of July! On Friday, Colin's godmommy, Aunt Julie, visited for the day and on Saturday Colin's Great Uncle Alex and Aunt Malia visited with cousin Cadence. Sunday Colin took his first trip over the bay bridge to visit his Great Aunt Barbara and Great Uncle Ralph. It was a fun filled fourth of July weekend!

Sleep: Colin is a good little sleeper once he is down for the night. He has "fussy time" for a few hours in the evening where he wants to be held and cluster feed. Once he goes down he only wakes up once until the morning. :)

Diet: All Mommy's milk!  

Milk coma- smiling up a storm!

Clothes: No more newborn clothes. Baby Colin is in 0-3 month clothes/jammies and size one diapers. 

Baby Gear Love: We are in love with the muslin swaddle blankets by Aden and Anis as well as his swing, bouncy seat and our stroller. Baby boy LOVES to go for rides in his stroller (Britax B-Agile). If he's fussy, we can go for a walk (or a ride in the car) and he calms right down. :)

Crying:  When he's hungry, tired, working on a poop, has the hiccups or has a dirty diaper. All fixable things!

Likes: Snuggling, car rides/stroller rides, his swing, being sang to

Dislikes: Being alone, hiccups. Colin unfortunately gets the hiccups a lot after scarfing down a meal. Poor guy hates them! (Can't blame him, I hate them too!)

Postpartum: Feeling great! We have my postpartum check up today. 

On the fourth of July at Cousin Rylee's party.

Milestones: First time sitting up in the bumbo seat- 7/9

First trip over the bay bridge- 7/7
First holiday (Fourth of July) 

Sweet little boy,

This week was certainly a fun one for us! We celebrated the Fourth of July and had a fun filled weekend. We even got to go on two day trips! We are looking forward to another fun filled week of watching you grow. We love you sweet boy- to the moon and back.

Love,
Mama and Daddy
