Halloween Party


This morning during the Birth, Baby and Beyond class, Collin and his classmates got dressed up for the annual Halloween costume party. Collin wore a sleeper that had pumpkins with witch hats on it. Although most of the newborns where either crying or sleeping during the group picture, he was wide awake, cooing and smiling. Matthew was there and Collin tried to even cheer him up (not really, he just put his hand on Matthew's arm while Matthew was crying). Once I receive the pictures, I will be sure to post some to this site.

Yesterday afternoon, we met a friend for coffee and sat outside since it was so beautiful. He was really good while we were out (two of the pictures of him in his car seat are from the outing). We did have to borrow some long pants from Addison because we don't have any in newborn size. He has PLENTY in the 3-6 and 6-9 month sizes. He is getting bigger (10 lbs and 4.8 oz today) but not big enough for the next size.

Collin continues to be fussy at night between 5pm and 9pm. The pediatrician suggested Gripe Water which I have used the last 2 nights. This seems to help but only temporarily. He does still sleep through the night (for at least 5 - 6 hours which is good for 9 weeks old from what I understand).
