3 Months Old

Mr Collin turned 3 months old yesterday and boy is he growing up fast. Lots of things to tell, might be a long blog this time.

So to start December was a month of a lot of firsts.

Dec 1st - started sleeping in his own crib at night and started sleeping 6 hours at a time.
 (the baby monitor we bought works like a charm, at first I was nervous to use it, but it works) there was no turning back either, it has been 29 nights of sleeping on his own in his room, and we have gone from 5 to 6 hours of sleep to 8 to 9 hours of sleep. He goes to bed somewhere from 7:30 to 8:00 then has a bottle around 2:30am then does not get up till 7:00am.. WHOO HOO!

Dec 12th - got his first round of shots

Dec 16th - While my cousin Britney was holding him, she felt his gums and said he has two little bumps, his teeth are coming it... WOW I couldn't believe it, I thought it was two early but sure enough he has his two bottom teeth coming in.. He drools up a storm. We constantly have to change the bib he is wearing.

Dec 23 - When he woke up for his 2:30 midnight snack, I went in his room to get him to find that he was on his back on the opposite side of the crib.... and I put him down on his tummy facing the other side of the bed. humm how did he do that....was this our first time to roll over?

Dec 25th our first Christmas  - it was perfect.

Dec 28th he found his hands and arms, its like it just happen over night, he never raised his arms up before.. and on the 28th he just never put them down, it like his made little fists and punched the sky for almost 4 hours, and thought it was just the coolest thing ever. Now his does it all the time. And he can hold things in his hands too.

Dec 29th Again when I went to go and get him for his 2:30 feeding, he was on his back again, on the opposite side of the crib that I put him down on.. Crazy.. he can really move in his sleep and now he can roll over. Just wish he would do it so I could see.

Also a new thing that happen this month was Collin HATES the car seat and does not like to ride in the car, I think he just hates being alone in the back seat. So Walmart had a portable DVD player on sale for 39 dollars before Christmas and we got one. IT WORKS!! 95% of the time, he watches Fox and the Hound 2 and loves it. This mommy loves it too, I always felt so bad because he would scream the entire time he was in the car when we were going somewhere. 

He also loves his bath time, it is hard to imagine when he was born how much he hated being naked, now he loves to have no clothes on.. Too funny how much they change.

We switched formula to simalac sensitive, spit up. He also has 4oz bottles every three hours during the day, and just this past week I started making 6oz bottles a couple of times a day, Especially when he wakes up in the morning.

There are so many more things to tell, but it time to wrap it up... I can't wait for 2012 to see what the new year will bring us. We are already starting with a couple of new changes. Josh got a new job, he is starting at a new Bank here in Victoria, and I am loving being a stay at home mommy with Collin. He keeps me busy.

Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope the 2012 year brings you lots of happiness.  (lots of pictures below.)
