It's official, as of today Colin is already two months old! He's smiling, starting to giggle, holding his head up (for the most part), kick and move his arms in crazy and random directions, yet out of all these things that are going on with our little man, we have both developed a strange and wonderful obsession. An obsession with what you may ask? No, not with anything that makes sense, instead our fascination lies with the show Yo Gabba Gabba! Yes, we realize that Colin has no clue what these strange psychedelic creatures are that dance on TV to the hypnotic trance of DJ Lance Rock, or for that fact if Colin even realizes what a TV is, but that's besides the point...this show rocks and we know that one day, when hand-eye coordination and a lengthened attention span develops, he will love this show too. Until then, let us dance and sing with the songs of these strange little creatures (the characters, not Colin...) and may the hypnotic hymns of Yo Gabba Gabba remind you all that there is a Party in Colin's tummy, and it's so yummy, so yummy!
Oh, and just in case you have not witnessed all that is Colin's poop grunts, watch in awe as such force exits from such a tiny little dude...
I am so thankful and incredibly lucky to have been blessed with such an amazing little boy. Here's a list of things that I love the most about Colin and being a Mom so far-
-Middle of the night feedings- he's so sweet and cuddly and its a special time where I can just love my little boy like crazy.
-I love the huge stretch that he does when he's trying to wake himself up. He squishes his legs up and stretches his neck and arms high into the air.
-He fights going to sleep even when he's really tired just like I do.
-He has my temper and he can going for super sweet to really angry is a matter of just seconds.
-He's starting to smile :)
-I love the noises that he makes, most of them make him sound like a little birdie.
-I love that he looks like his Daddy, when I look at Colin it reminds me of how much I love Bob.
-It has made me realize even more what amazing parents I have and that I hope to be as wonderful as they are someday.
-I love watching him snuggle with Bob when he gets home from work.
I can't believe that my little boy is already six weeks old!! We took Colin in two weeks ago to the Pediatrician for his one month check up and he was up to 11 pounds and he has grown another inch to 22.5 inches long. I have a feeling he is going to be tall like his Daddy!!
Last week was a busy week for us and we spent lots of time outside enjoying the Spring like weather. One day we took Sweetie for a walk with the stroller for the very first time. I know she really enjoyed it and she did pretty good overall considering she has been kept inside most of the winter. At first it felt a little like a husky pulling a dog sled, but once we got moving she calmed down and we enjoyed our walk together. We also went to the zoo twice this past week, once with Kris & Courtney and then again with Kim & Tyler to enjoy the nice weather and get in some much needed exercise.
We also purchased a new used psedo mini-van for me this week, my lease on my Mazda CX7 is up in May so we started looking at our options a little early and of course we found a great deal on a 2009 Ford Flex that we just couldn't pass up. It has everything I wanted (heated seats for our cold MI winters) and with it being so roomy inside its going to be a great family car for us! Bob took the day off on Friday so we could spend some extra time together and we could run errands in our new family car.
Here are a few new pictures of my man :)
Mommy loves this new sea horse that sings me to sleep!
