Baby Check In: Five Weeks!

WEEK: 5 (I know I'm late on this weeks!)

WEIGHT: ~10 lb 

LENGTH: ~22"

HEAD: 14 1/2"

MILESTONES: This week C-Man has started to make more direct eye contact. He's also starting to really settle into a routine which makes it easier to read his cues as far as him being tired or hungry. 

WHAT YOU'RE UP TO: I'm trying to get our house more organized, participating in the 21DTGO challenge at A Bowl Full of Lemons (which I've been posting about). It's been hard to keep up with the challenges on time, but I can catch up eventually!

EATING: Little Monster finally is taking a bottle from Daddy! It was such a neat milestone to reach, Greg loved feeding him too.  

SLEEPING: Two nights this week, Collin slept more than 6 hours at night... it was amazing! He sure does love his sleep.

DIAPERING: We finally got rid of his butt rash, I made some fleece liners to go inside his CDs and just used Bag Balm. It's seriously the only thing that works on his lil booty.

VISITS/OUTINGS: Aunt Lo came over to visit this week, Collin loves seeing her (as do I!). We also went to the mall with Daddy to get him some new shoes.

MOMMY: I had two photo shoots this last weekend. It was great to get out of the house sans baby (even though I missed him and had a hard time!) to do what I love. It made me feel like ME again. Which was really really great.

WEEKLY PHOTO: 

Playing with his jungle friends in the bassinet. He sure does love interacting with the mobile!
