Collin has finally gotten on a pretty routine schedule. He eats every 2 1/2 hours, and believe us, he lets you know when it is time to eat. We are convinced he has an internal alarm clock. After he eats he gets very excited to play. Collin spends his play time sitting in his Boppy and making faces with us, staring at his toys while mom and dad make them talk, having tummy time and mat time, and playing with his Infant Gym that plays nursery rhymes for him and gives him a light show to look it. This is by far his favorite toy! He has started averaging about 5 hours of sleep a night. We are hoping this will increase soon!
One of the sweetest things Collin did this month was start smiling. Whenever Patrick or I look at him and give him an exaggerated smile, he gives us a toothless grin . Oddly enough the first smile we got from Collin was during a early morning feeding when Patrick and I were exhausted. After drinking his bottle for thirty minutes, he looked up at us with a toothless smile. That melted both of our hearts! Ever since then he has been smiling nonstop. He smiles when he sees Patrick and I and when he sees toys he likes. Recently he has starting adding cooing noises to his smiles which makes them even cuter! It looks like he might be a talker just like his Daddy.
Collin has also learned many new things during his tummy time this month. He has now found his hands and loves to put his whole fist in his mouth and suck it during tummy time. He also learned to push himself up and look straight ahead for several seconds. Several times this month Collin accidentally flipped himself over while lying on his tummy. We do not think it was intentional, but we will brag on him regardless.
It is amazing how much Collin has grown in one month. He is literally doing something new everyday! Patrick and I love him more than words could ever describe. He is truly a gift from above!
