5 weeks already?!

Hello, friends! I had to post some pics of Colt for you! Time is flying by and my itty bitty 6lb baby is getting so big!

One month stats:
weight 8lbs 12oz (25%)
height 21 1/4in (50%)
head 14 1/2in (25%)

We had a sorta rough week or two and then I was introduced to Babywise and Baby Whisperer, and now life is grand. The trouble was I never ever put sweet Colt down and would stay up all night to hold him or even bring him to bed with me. Well I soon realized that I had to get things done during the day...like shower and get dressed and clean....and my method was not working! Anyway, I read both books in a day, took the best out of both books, and now I have a baby who sleeps in his crib and loves it! Meanwhile, I can shower and even do my exercise video. I admit that I do miss holding him 24/7. I miss him every second I am not holding him! He is such a good baby. I just can't get enough of him! I HIGHLY recommend those books to all moms, especially if you are expecting. Are there any other Babywise or Baby Whisperer fans out there?

One Month picture! I will be taking his pic each month with Daddy's guitar.

And I also copied you, Becky! One month in the rocking chair. I wasn't sure which one I'd like better...

3 weeks today!

I cannot believe my sweet angel is 3 weeks old today! It makes me sad, really, that he will never be this little again. I can tell he is growing! It's funny how much my days have changed...now my daily goals are things such as: take a shower today, load the dishwasher, try to put Colt down for more than 5 min...funny. Colt is a snuggler, and I am working so hard to get him to like his crib. He wants to be held 24/7 and sleep snuggled up to me. I know that is a bad habit, but it means I get an hour or so of sleep too if I just cuddle up with him, but momma has things to do around the house during the day, so this constant holding has to be tamed! Then again I think of what my mom said. "Hold him tight. He'll grow up fast." NOOOO! That makes me sad and makes me want to hold him even more.... We did, however, have a breakthrough. He slept in his bouncy seat for an hour and then later for an hour and a half. And RIGHT NOW he has been snoozing in his carseat for an hour (thanks for that tip, Julie!!!!). So we are making progress! I just love him to pieces! The reason there are no pictures on this post is because our computer is from 1910 and I can't insert my card into the computer, and we apparently lost the CD that goes with the camera to download pics to the computer. AGHHHH! So this is like an emergency for me to get this figured out because I must share Colt's cuteness with everyone!!! : ) Well love to all, my sweet baby is starting to wiggle over there...here comes momma to save the day!
