6 Weeks Old and some FUN.

We have been busy lately. Josh had his 30th birthday this past weekend. We went to Houston for the night. My first night away from Collin. I did okay, I cried twice on the way to Houston, I missed him so much. But once we got there things got better. We went to St Arnold's Brewery, 300 Bowling Alley, The Galleria, Chili's, Rajin Cajun, and then we ended at Little Woodrow's. It was a blast and Josh had a great time. We stayed the night at the Doubletree Hotel at the Galleria.  Overall great weekend.

Collin did really good with my mom for Saturday night. She said that he had one rough hour, from 8 to 9pm but otherwise a good baby. A big thanks to my mom for keeping him over night.

Some new things about Collin. Still GROWING UP TOO FAST for this mommy.. :-)

He had his 6 week check up last Thursday.
He weighs 10lbs 13oz and is 22 inches long.
He is still eating 3 to 4 oz every 2 1/2 hours.
Enfamil Newborn Formula. (he likes it)
As of yesterday, I have stopped breastfeeding. It took about a week, but I just slowly stopped. Reducing each day the amount of times I fed him. He seems happy though. I think it was a good transition.
Collin has also found his tongue. It is so cute, he will sit there for a good 30 mins sticking his tongue in and out and plays. He will also suck on his pacifier for longer periods of time. Before it would last about 5 mins max, now he can suck on the pacifier until he is ready to spit it out. 
He is still only sleeping 2 to 3 hours at a time. Some nights it is just 2 hours each time, but every once in a while we get 3 hours. AND last night we got 3 and half hours twice. So he only woke up twice through the night. YAY.
We are also getting more and more smiles when he is sleeping. I really hope he smiles soon when he is awake. I can't wait.

Going to post some of the pictures from the past week.
