Collin Loves His Hands


Collin has found his hands in the last week. He loves to hold them in front of him, put them in his mouth and suck on them. The picture above is him getting caught with his hands in the act. I actually have had to master the art of pulling his hands away from his mouth while I am holding the bottle or other "feeding source" so he can eat. haha
Speaking of eating, he is doing just that. He is 12 lbs and 4 oz today. Usually, he eats about 3 oz at a time, or even less, and he is satisfied for at least 2 - 3 hours. Last night, after nursing, he ate an additional 4 oz from a bottle. The next time, he nursed and then drank 5 oz from a bottle. I would have thought he would have been full and sleep through the night after all of that eating. Nope....he was starving at 3:30am so I fed him...again. I checked today how much he is eating while nursing and he is getting at least 3 oz so he is just a hungry boy lately. Maybe he is going through his 3 month growth spurt early. Overachiever......
