Oh how the time flies! Colton is already 3 weeks old! Im not sure how much he weighs, but he is definitely packing on the pounds! (probably more like ounces)
Claire FINALLY decided Colton was ok to hold on her own! She kept saying that after she was 5 she would hold him. But I finally talked her into doing it NOW! He wasnt so happy about it, but Claire looks pretty happy if you ask me!
Colton LOVES napping on my bed in the mornings. This is usually after our 6 am feeding. He loves having his hands up by his face.
Colton also started taking a binkie. Well, kind of. This one works the best for him though. We tried 4 different kinds, and this is the only one he wont spit out right away or gag on. He still doesn't love it though. He will suck on it for a few minutes, then once he's asleep or 'pacified' he spits it out.
Colton spends more time awake, and we love it!
He hasnt given us a REAL smile yet, but im sure he will in the next few weeks. We've been putting him on his tummy a bit more, because he is always lifting his head up while he's on my shoulder. He can lift it up, and turn it so he's looking the other way.
A few other random bits:
His umbilical cord fell off on Saturday.
He still nurses really well.
He still sleeps really well at night. Usually about 3-4 hours at a time.
I think he has a favorite blanket to be swaddled in. He doesn't HAVE to be swaddled, but if he is, he prefers a certain blanket I think! It will probably end up being his 'blanky'.
