4 weeks

Colin is 4 weeks today!  This first month has flown by.  I have to say it has gone so well.  Definitely easier the second time around.  You know what to expect and I am happy to say we have him in a great routine (thanks to my tried and true Baby Whisperer book).  He is eating and sleeping great!  As we hit this 4 week mark his alertness has definitely increased and we have enjoyed getting to see his eyes exploring us and his surroundings.  We have even seen a few "real" smiles and can't wait for many more.

He is so good at holding up his head and actually enjoys some tummy time.  One of my favorite times is after his bath and I do some skin to skin time with him to get him warm and he just stares into my eyes.  It is just perfect!

Just like Whitney he is an extremely loud sleeper, so he moved into his room at 2 weeks.  I know, it seems so young to make the move but I am sleeping so much better!

Today at his check up he weighed 11 lbs 12 oz (90%) and 22 1/2 inches (70%).  He is growing so fast!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the last couple of weeks. 

Love from his Big Sis and wearing another fingerprint onesie from Whitney.

 Sporting the "Gender Reveal" shoes.

Looking up to his Big Sis

 An early morning

 Lounging after a massage

 Priceless...whenever we are in the car she always holds his hand.

The next few pictures are from today.

He has bad diaper rash, so I was airing him out...hence all the towels.

Love

I try to take in this time while Whitney is napping.
