Today, Collin is 3 months old! He changes so fast, I have a hard time keeping up. At his 2 month check up with his pediatrician, we found out that he had only gained 2 ounces in his second month. Ugh.... I felt horrible. It was evident that breastfeeding alone wasn't giving him what he needs. I don't know why I was so hell-bent on nursing, except I knew it would save us a bunch of money. Geeze, formula is expensive! I guess I thought of it as my way of helping out with the bills. But, I have to say... things are working out for the best. I still nurse Collin but not 24/7. I do feel a bit unleashed, now. And Collin is getting the best of both worlds while gaining so much weight!
Collin is over 13 lbs and about 24 inches. He's learned that his hands have a purpose! He's getting so good and holding his toys. He also likes to touch our faces and hands. It's so cool to watch him take everything in. Just recently, he's started 'talking' a whole bunch... many coo's and ahh's. Tommy and I tried to film him talking one night, but the moment he saw the camera he froze! Would not take his eyes off the camera.. he loves that camera.We've started 'sleep training' this week. It's too soon to tell how things are going, but we should know in a week or so, so cross your fingers.
No doubt about it, Tommy and I are diggin' parenthood. Don't get me wrong... it has it's challenges. We are absolutely exhausted and when we do get some time to ourselves, it is usually spent sleeping! One things for certain, this is quite an experience. One we wouldn't trade for anything.... not even sleep. ;-)
