Sept 2011

Things have seemed to move pretty quickly this month.  Jenny is back at work.  Brad is doing the stay-at-home dad thing.  Hobie is about the same and the rabbit (remember that we have that???) is doing pretty good having run of his room downstairs.  Colin will smile and coo.  He's building up his little muscles.  Eating and pooping oddly coincide making both difficult to do.  Riding in the car and taking a shower with mommy or daddy seem to be relaxing activities.  Colin has been able to go 5-6 hours between feedings at night, but also need to eat every two some nights.  Overall we are tired but very happy.  Here is the link for the Sept photos:

Happy baby

He takes some coaxing, but he'll and. coo. Ignore all that background noise.  (Sorry I don't know how to flip the video so it's straight.  Just lay down and watch it)

1 month check up

Colin went to the doctor for his 1 month checkup even though he is 5 weeks.  He's just a smidge under 10 pounds (45th percentile) and he's grown a few inches to 22.5 inches (75th percentile).  Doctor said everything is looking good.  He apparently hates shots, as he vocalized at this past visit.  Jenny will be going back to work next Friday so we'll be doing some trial runs on hopeful feeding and sleeping routines.  We'll be able to let you know how it goes at the end of the month with all the Sept pictures.

Happy 1 month birthday!!!

So Colin is one month old today.  We think he's grown a couple of inches and gained a couple of pounds.  We done some measuring but not quite as accurate as the doctor's office. 


So far Colin has:

• traveled to Ipswich, MA for some clams
• walked around Portsmouth, NH
• gone apple picking at Brooksby Farms in Peabody, MA
• cried, pooped, peed, slept
• developed a fascination with the row of cook books above the couch
• been able to pick up and swivel his head around while on his tummy
• stare and focus a bit on things
• stand, with some help (especially when he's Mr Furious)

We've been collecting pictures of things that have been happening in Sept. and will post those at the end of the month.  I guess that is all for now.
