Colin Bennett: 21 Weeks

On October 23rd our little pumpkin turned 21 weeks old. This was such a busy week for our little family which prompted many big changes for us in the coming weeks! More on that in another post. For now, can we talk about how cute our little soon to be five month old is? I mean seriously... look at that face!


Weight:  I turn my back and his legs get longer. This guy is going to be tall like his Daddy. I'm going to try and weigh him this week to see for sure but I'd say he is >15 lbs 

Health: Happy and healthy. If I had to predict now, I'd say we won't be needing the head shaping helmet! I think C's head is looking less and less "flat" in the back. We've been on that tummy.

Social: C attended his first birthday party for a "friend" last Saturday at a local farm here in Maryland. It was so cute seeing all his daycare buddies and their parents. C also had a night in with Gram and Granddad while Mommy and Daddy went to a wedding. 

Sleep: Sleep was MUCH better this week- C slept through the night the majority of the week and even took a nap in his crib. When he did wake up, he went right back down with a binkie. 

Diet: All Mommies milk- one more month to go until we meet our goal! I'm not anywhere near ready to stop. I love our bonding time and I love knowing that I've been solely responsible for creating those chubby little thighs!

Clothes: It's official, six month pants are too short. I've been stretching it out and trying to get the most out of some of his pants but his legs are too darn long. 9 month outfits are too long in the arms and too big in the body but the pants fit so I've been mixing six month onesies with 9 month sweats/jeans for the time being. My little string bean. 

Baby Gear Love: His light up snail, tummy time mat, bumbo seat and high chair. Anything that keeps him off his head and his attention while on his tummy. He also really likes the wooden toy we bought to help with tummy time. He loves to spin the gears. 

Crying: Still only cries with a purpose! Poopy, tired, wet, hungry, lonely
Likes: Snuggling and being held (especially first thing in the morning), baths, talking to Mommy and Daddy, being outside, nursing, singing songs, reading books and Sprout (we don't encourage TV, but once in a while we'll put it on to relax)

Dislikes: Getting jammies on, waking up alone in his crib (especially when he rolls over and doesn't know how that happened!)
Postpartum: It was a crazy week for me so I didn't work out at all. Feeling like a lazy bones. I need to get serious this week to make up for it. I've also noticed that "shedding" has started. :-/ I thought I might have gotten away with missing that lovely postpartum milestone but no such luck!
Milestones:  10/19- first birthday party for his friend Kevin (KJ) from Kindercare. Also
losing almost all of his beautiful head of baby hair. :(
