10 Weeks Old

Colton is now 10 weeks old...that means I'm going back to work in 2 short weeks! :-(

He now weighs 14 pounds 1 ounce! Crazy how fast they grow up! Tomorrow he will be walking and Lauren will be teaching him to ride a bike, etc...He is cooing, smiling, laughing and loves to take baths! The colic is still here but it's not as bad as it was 5 or 6 weeks ago. Not sure if it's the Gripe Water, his age, the fact that I'm not drinking milk or a combination of the three that is making it better...but whatever it is we are keeping it up because it makes our days easier! He just started liking his bouncy seat which is nice...you even laugh at the three animals on it which makes us smile! He is starting to wear 3-6 month clothes because his 0-3 month clothes are starting to get tight so I figured I'd go ahead and move him up so he is comfortable. :-) He is still eating every 2-3 hours (except at night he does awesome and sleeps for 4 hours and then 3 hours!) but I'm hoping to move it to every 3 hours 100% of the time before I go back to work.

It's so true that until you have a child you don't know what that love is like! You think you know...but honestly until you have your own you just can't fully understand the amount of love God gives each of us to share! He truly is the one and only Almighty! Thank you God for giving me such a wonderful loving family! I'm truly blessed!
