The O'Neill Life: 12 Weeks

It is hard to believe my little man is already 12 weeks! This is the point I feel you make the transition from saying their age in weeks to months. Really outgrowing the newborn phase. Though he did that on his own by growing like a weed! At his 2 month appointment he was 24 inches (75%) and 14 lbs 8 oz (off the charts)! He is just about busting out of his 6 month clothes. Part of me is sad that he is growing so fast but the other part of me loves all the new things he is doing.

As you saw in the previous post, he has started to laugh. When I go in to get him in the morning he flashes a big smile at me. He is getting much better about sitting up in his Bumbo seat. When on his play mat he looks like he is marching and gets the most adorable determined look on his face.

Colin is such a calm and easy baby. He never complains about a dirty diaper and loves to get his diaper changed. As soon as I start wiping him he smiles and gives me a few coos like he is saying thank you. He loves to watch Whitney play and loves to sit on my lap while we play a game. And let me say he is a fabulous sleeper! Great with his naps. I know I am crazy to even admit this out loud for fear it will come back and get me, but he is sleeping through the night! Right around 2 months he stopped waking up to eat. He goes to sleep by 8pm, get his Dream Feed at 10:30pm (Tim gives him a bottle in his sleep) and wakes around 7am. We continue to be so thankful for the amazing things the Baby Whisperer book has taught us!

First trip to Kiawah. Just chillin' at the pool!
