Colin Bennett: 18 weeks

Happy 18 weeks to our little bambino!

Weight:  We had C's official weigh in on Tuesday- he's 14.5lbs and 25 inches long! Such a string bean. 
Health:C is overall a very healthy and happy boy! He's growing and developing right on track! The pediatrician did want to send us to a cranial specialist due to the flat shape of Colin's head. She said it is not alarming but she wants to have his measurements taken to ensure he doesn't need a helmet to help his head shape. In the meantime, increased tummy time and keeping the pressure off the back of his head will help. 
Social: We had a great week in the social department! We visited Gram and GrandDad on Friday night, went to Linvilla Orchards to pick apples and veggies on Saturday and Colin had his first at home experience with a babysitter on Sunday. 
Sleep: C Slept through the night almost every night this week in his cribby! There were 2 nights where he woke up and needed a snack,but otherwise he did great!
Diet: Still exclusively breastfed
Clothes: 6 month outfits and some 9 month pants for length. I think we will be in this size for a few months (we have some room to grow)
Baby Gear Love: His ball! He can grasp it and pass it back and forth between his hands! 
Crying: Still only cries with a purpose! Poopy, tired, wet, hungry, lonely
Likes: Snuggling and being held, baths, talking to Mommy and Daddy, "bouncing" with Daddy

Dislikes: Getting his nose aspirated or being put down for a second when he's in the mood to snuggle. The boy loves to be loved!!! (Of course, we don't mind)

Postpartum: Feeling determined- these lbs have to GO. 

Milestones:  10/1 at the doctors office C rolled over on the table front to back!
9/29- first at home babysitting experience with a teacher from his school. Mommy and Daddy went to a special "viewing party" at Ravens stadium for the game. We only stayed a few hours, but it was nice to get out as hubby and wife.
