Ho Ho Ho

Mr. Colin is 3 months old tomorrow (Christmas Eve). We will leave tomorrow night for Orlando to be with my side of the family. I am so excited for everyone to meet Colin. My parents and sister, Katie, are the only ones who have met him. Also the sun is a bonus..



Weight: 11 lbs 4 oz (10th percentile)

At 3 Months you are..

Smiling so big. You are so on the verge of giggles.
Rolling over from stomach to back.
You love to stand. You hold on to my fingers and stand till your little legs won't hold you
anymore.
You try and copy whatever sound we are saying to you, and you try and sing along with
everyone during church.
Grabbing for everything you can get your hands on.
Sleeping 10 plus hours during the night.
Want your bed when your sleepy and lets us know when its time. Only Grandpa can get you to
sleep without your bed.
You love your milk!



Colin is my buddy! I feel very grateful to be able to have a job that I get to take him with me. He is such a happy baby. I know he is spoiling us, that our next one will probably make us work ten times harder, so we are savoring every little moment.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

2 Months and Thanksgiving

I figured I better blog about his two month checkup, since he will be approaching his 3rd month here shortly. This is mainly for me, since I have not gotten is baby book bought.






2 months 2 weeks:
Weight 10 LBS even 15%
Height 21 1/2 inches 5-10% (we're hoping for a growth spurt any day now!)

He smiled/cooed at his doctor during his whole exam. This is major because usually he is screaming his head off.

Mom cried more during the shots.

Starting to loose that gorgeous hair of his! Maybe not really loosing, but its growing in lighter. One day looks like it might come in blonde, one day red. ( Elizabeth: We could have matching red heads.. I'm just sayin'..)

He is doing those big grins. The ones where you know any second he is going to bust out a huge belly laugh, but doesn't.. One day my little friend. He smiles at everything, which makes me feel great about myself!! I had the news on the other day and I caught him smiling so big at the news lady. I mean huge smiles over and over. I was kind of sad, cause it made me feel not as special.

He is sleeping mostly through the night, which makes for one happy mommy and daddy!

He loves his tummy time!!! I have never seen a baby so content on their tummy before. He has this little mat that he lays on and pushes up on his arms so he can look around. I wish it was safe for him to sleep on his tummy, because he loves it. Sometimes I have to put him on his tummy and rub his back so he'll fall asleep and then flip him over.









On to Thanksgiving..

This year we were with Kristopher's family. We all went down to St. George with my mother in laws family. We all stayed in condo's, but Kristopher's cousin has a GORGEOUS home there that we had the actually dinner at. We had so much fun visiting, shopping, making jewelery, and lots of other things. I had so many babysitters I felt like, I was childless. I love that this little boy has so many people who love him!

I have so much fun with his family. We always have such a good time! I feel really blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. Not only immediate family, but all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It makes being so far away from my side of our family so much easier.

This year I am especially thankful for family. It's comforting to know that they are there for me and my little family 100%. They bend over back words to help us with so much, give it big or small. I couldn't think of a better family to belong to than mine and Kristophers.
