5 weeks

Colson was five weeks old on Tuesday April 14 ... he growing so fast and changing everyday!
He stays up more during the day now. Before he used to eat, then straight back to sleep. Now he's up for about 1-2 hours in the morning and for an hour or two at night -- not counting the witching hour -- usually begins somewhere around 6-7 pm -- he'll be fussy for an hour or two, then launches into cluster feeding mode, sleeping by 8:30 or 9:00 and up again somewhere between 11 and midnight. Then we start the whole cycle again ... he still wakes every 2-3 hours for feedings in the middle of the night, and right now I think we are entering the 6 week growth spurt, where he likes to eat more and more often - fun I know. I am ready for his schedule to become a little more predictable, which I hear is possible at around 2 months.

I'm a big boy now!!







Today is Colson's one month birthday! Yay for graduating from newborn to infant :) He is also literally a big boy now too! He was just shy of 11 pounds 4 days ago so it's probably safe to say he's at (or over) 11 pounds now!

4 week birthday!

Colson is 4 weeks old today! I can't believe how fast time has passed ... He had a weight check yesterday and he's now a whopping 10 pounds 13 ounces -- OH MY! He's a chunky monkey :) His last weight check was 2 weeks ago and he was 9 pounds 3.8 ounces -- he's growing fast!

Visit with the Gouges!

It's official - Colson had his first playdate yesterday with Ryan Wade :) Matt and Katrina came over with Ryan last night and we talked about all things parenthood and tried to have dinner like adults with two babies between us ...

Ryan was born just one day before Colson on March 9, so we have lots to talk about!

3 week birthday!

Yesterday was Colson's 3 week birthday! Sometimes one day can seem so long, but I can't believe that he's been with us for 3 weeks already :)


Also he is out of newborn size diapers and into size 1 - woohoo!
