2 week Check Up

Yesterday was my first outing by myself since Colton's arrival.  We got to go back to Dr. Beeber's office for our 2 week check up, I know doesn't sound like much fun but I was really excited about getting out, driving and doing it all by myself!  I took the girls to Nana and Steve's house while Colton and I went to the doctor.  The girls were also excited to get out for a little while, but I will say they have been really good sports about adjusting to having a newborn and not being able to go out in public for 4-6 weeks. Colton weighed 9lbs  6oz and he was 21in.  Dr. Beeber said that he is doing great and is a very healthy baby boy!  He had gained 10oz in one week and grown 1/2inch too!  I sure do love my baby boy...He and he loves his snuggling time with Mommy too.  In fact I think he may already be a little rotten but I don't care because he is my baby!  He is still such a good baby, he eats 3-4oz every 3 hours and let me just say it is like clock work, he means business about his food.  He also still sleeps a lot except from 3am-5am, for some reason he likes to stay wide awake and wants to play with Mommy instead of going back to sleep.  We are working on this problem, but since he is the 3rd child I know that this too will pass with time and to just; enjoy every part of the newborn stage while I can(sometimes in the middle of the night I have a different opinion).  He also got to take his first real bath the other night and just like the girls, he loved it.  I sure was glad because the sponge baths are hard and no matter how hard you try to keep them warm, they get cold.  The girls are still totally in love with him also, Hayden loves to hold him and Gracie still PETS him.  Even though we have tried to explain to her that she is loving him...she still insists on petting his head!  I guess it is cute to her and she has been great with him too, and no jealousy at all!!!  I know I say this all the time but I have 3 little angels and they are all so sweet!
