Kolton continues to be a sweet little guy. He is very strong and very stiff. He is not the most cuddly baby I have ever met, but when he's sleeping he will dig pretty deep into your shoulder. Despite all the
gidgets and gadgets we think we need these days for babies, he
prefers to lay on a blanket on the floor above all other things. He likes his swing too. Mostly he likes to eat. When he nurses he holds his little legs straight out. He rolled over once already too, though I'm sure it was a fluke. His daddy walked at 7 months and I think he might be interested in
following his footsteps. He is more and more alert and spends more time awake daily. He smiles now too though he is somewhat stingy with his grins. It's funny because he doesn't make eye contact or smile very regularly so it's not uncommon for tears to spring from my eyes when he does. He makes me feel so special... like he just does it to appease me!
Xiana loves to kiss her brother in the morning. Beyond that I think she is
really looking forward to him being a little bit older and more able to play. Still, it excites her with the rest of us when he coos, caws, and smiles at her.
Xiana will tolerate baths with
Kolton... but she is terrified of a repeat
offender of the crime of peeing in the tub.
I bought him these tiny little socks and they are knee highs!
Oh so sweet.
We are starting to see eyes in pictures now which is a lot of fun. We think they might stay blue though feel it is still too soon to be sure. He still sleeps most nights for at least one 6 hour stretch. Rarely does he wake hourly. He is very serious and looks like he is taking it all in. He loves to look at lights and listen to music. He likes to take naps on daddy's chest when he's home, but he's also content to sleep in his little bassinet (thankfully). For a long time he was power feeding from about 6-9 every night which was exhausting, but he seems to have developed more of a routine with feeding and sleeping. All in all, he is a wonderful baby. I feel so blessed to have such a good one. He is very calm and chills a lot. He rarely cries and when he does, he doesn't get all that worked up. He has a very quiet cry that is actually hard to hear. He grunts a lot. Brian teases him and says we should have named him
grunter. Even when he wakes in the night and morning, he doesn't
really cry, he mostly just grunts (often I think to try to escape his swaddle).
Everyone around here adores him.
And he's finally starting to fill out some of his clothes. He looks handsome doing it!!!!
