Collyn- 7 Months

Over half a year old! What!? Collyn is becoming such a fun and active little boy, I can't believe how fast time flies. Here are some updates on my precious baby boy.

GROWTH: Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz Height: ??? I haven't measured him for a while. But, my sister has a baby scale, so I go to her house to weigh Collyn occasionally. I weighed him Sunday.

SLEEP: Collyn still isn't sleeping completely through the night. This last week it has been a little better, but not amazing. He goes to bed at 9:30 PM and sleeps until about 3:30 AM. I nurse him and he sleeps until about 7:30 AM. It is way better than last month. He takes two big naps a day a morning nap from 10-12 and an afternoon nap from 2:30-4:30. He will sleep if we go in the car or if we are somewhere and someone holds him and he is comfy. He is still in a bassinet next to our bed. He is so little he still fits. Last night was the last night for this. I woke up and he had rolled to his belly and there isn't much room in the bassinet so it made me nervous. He isn't too interested in co-sleeping, like Alden was, so we are going to put him in his crib tonight.

EATING: I am still nursing. No formula at all. A couple weeks ago, I attempted to give him breastmilk from a bottle and he completely refused. He still wants Momma for feedings. I nurse 4-5 times a day for 10-15 minutes at a time. He eats 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner. He has tried some new foods this month. Berries and Pineapple. He has also been able to chew on some bread, green beans, and Gerber Puffs. He still isn't quite sure about real food. He likes his puree's and breastmilk. He's a good little eater.

CLOTHING: 6-9 Month

DIAPERS: Size 3

DEVELOPMENT: He rolls EVERYWHERE! He has learned this is the easiest way to get around. He has attempted to army crawl, but he just spins in circles. He blows raspberries. He sits for long periods of time and plays with toys with his brother. He is learning to self-feed easy to eat foods. If you hold him on your lap he will stand and jump up and down.

He is a pretty special kid! We love him to pieces. Our boys are inseperable. They do everything together. It is so precious to see how much they love eachother.
