Colston is getting so big and so alert! He's been particularly alert ever since he was born, but he notices new things each day. He is almost 12 lbs. and 23 1/2 inches long. He is loving life and how could he not?! He has his mommy and daddy completely bending over backward for his every need... the way we should! We are loving life with our sweet little boy. He loves the book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do You See? He laughs, kicks and swings his arms back and forth when I read it to him. He loves the colorful pictures of the animals on each page. He is enjoying bath time more and more each time. He used to scream when we took him out of the warm water, but now he knows we bundle him up right away so he doesn't get chilly. He loves when you hold him straight up so he can bend his strong legs up and down. He will walk up your body putting one leg in front of the other. He has the concept already! He is eating ALL the time and definitely lets us know when he's hungry or tired. He is now on a schedule and takes a nap in his crib around 1:00 every day. I try to be home so we don't skip this valuable time. He sleeps so much better at night when he's not over tired. Last night he slept almost 8 hours straight and then 4 hours after that! Great sleep for us too!
He had his first cold this past week. He still has remnants of it and hates the 'snot stick.' (It's the aspirator used to unclog his nose.) Poor thing.
Kyle is the best daddy! He really has been a natural since day one. He knows what Colston needs and wants and is so patient with him. It's wonderful to watch.
He's a complete blessing to us! We couldn't be happier with our bundle of joy!

Time Flies!
I can't believe Colston is 6 1.2 weeks already! Time really does fly! We have been enjoying him so much and watching him meet all of his milestones is wonderful. He is smiling and cooing. He makes the sweetest ahhhs in his sleep. It's breathtaking. He is now sleeping in his nursery and is doing pretty well. It's an adjustment. I'm sleeping across the hall from him because he wakes up so frequently. During the work week Kyle sleeps downstairs so that's hard being away from him. He's been a big help though and loves his boy!
