Colin Bennett: 11 weeks

Happy 11 weeks to our sweet baby boy! 

Weight:  I'd say he is close to 12 pounds!

Health: Colin is very happy and healthy. No issues that we are aware of. He does have a serious case of cuteness...

Social: This week Colin spent Thursday evening with Gram and Granddad while Mommy and Daddy went to see Justin Timberlake and Jay Z! According to his adoring grandparents- he was a perfect angel. :) Friday night Colin's Great Aunt Barbara and Great Uncle Ralph came to visit and Sunday Uncle Chip came to visit. 

Sleep: Colin slept through the night Thursday, Friday, Saturday then woke up once Sunday and Monday. It's hit or miss with sleeping through the night but if he does wake up, it's only once. I think part of the problem is that Colin is getting to long for his sleep n' play. We love that thing- its so snuggly and it keeps him on an angle which I love for safety  but Colin likes to stretch out, which he can't do in the sleep n' play anymore. We will probably make the transition to the crib sooner rather than later.

Diet: All Mommy's milk!

Clothes: 3 month onesies and six month pants for length! Still in size one diapers.

Baby Gear Love: While Gram and Granddad were here last week we picked up a jumpero. He is still so little but he loves to be upright so we thought we'd give it a try and he loves it!
Crying:  Hiccups, tired, fussy time (6-7 at night)
Likes: going for walks, sitting up like a big boy, baths, his toy rings and his toy ball. He also likes reading stories and singing songs. 
Dislikes: Getting out of the bath, tummy time

Postpartum: Feeling good. I'm not seeing as much weight fall off as I'd like, especially since I'm exercising most days. I may need to measure inches because I do feel like I "look better" each week. I'm going to pick up the amount of cardio and decrease the amount of carbs I'm eating to see if that helps!

Milestones: Colin can turn his head from side to side while doing tummy time!- 8/12 
He also rolled from back to front while snuggling in Mommy's bed with her (but it could have been a combo of the way we were laying and his effort)- 8/13

Miscellaneous: 

Now that Colin is on a schedule, I thought I would document what a typical day has been like for the two of us:
Between 6-7am Colin wakes up. It's time to eat! Mommy breastfeeds's him lying down and then we snuggle for an hour or so in bed/play/talk/snooze.
Around 8am- We get up, get dressed for the day and head downstairs. Mommy makes breakfast and pumps a bottle for his bed time feeding
9am- time to eat again!
9:30-10- play time. We do tummy time, play with the rings or ball, talk, read, giggle
10-11/11:30- Morning nap
12-time to eat!
12:30-3- Colin typically takes a 2 hour nap while we go for a run in the jogger, run errands, do chores, etc.
3- time to eat!
4- Go for a walk and wait for Daddy to get home
5- play with Daddy
5:30- time to eat!
6-7- Go for a walk, pass back and forth between Mommy and Daddy for fussy time
7:30- bath time!!
8- Daddy feeds Colin a Bottle while Mommy reads everyone a story, we say the magic words (goodnight, sweet dreams, We love you, see you in the morning)
