Coleman got a GREAT report at the Dr.'s office this month. He is 25 inches long, 16.9 pounds, and in the 95th percentile for head circumference! He's going to be one smart boy! He had a blast at the Dr.'s office looking at himself in the mirror and was very brave for his shot (so was I...no tears!).
Coleman LOVES to put his hands behind his head and just relax. We call this "chillaxin'"...silly I know, but we're weird like that! He things its really funny and does it in his car seat, when he's sitting his his Bumbo watching Baby Einstein, when he's being held...he even did it in the bathtub last night. We couldn't stop laughing.
Coleman continues to LOVE his baths. He loves to take a washcloth and suck on it during his bath time. He likes having the warm water poured over him and when we wash underneath his chin, he gets a big smile and sometimes giggles. Last night he discovered how to splash and got a big kick out of it! Sometimes I let Coleman hold the rinsing cup with some water in it, he brings it up to his lips and takes a big drink...I think he's getting ready for his sippy cups!
Coleman is finally enjoying tummy time! Probably because he can push himself up a lot higher with his hands, rotate his head around and explore. Sometimes he will roll over to his back and then can get about half way over from his back to his tummy. We're still working on this...
Coleman is in LOVE with Harley! Just this past month he has taken a huge interest in Harley. He loves to watch her chase the ball down the hallway, sit next to her and just observe, he laughs and makes silly noises at her too. The other day he was sitting in the bumbo on the kitchen island and Harley was laying on the floor, he practically leaned all the way over the side of the bumbo just to take a peek at Harley so he could giggle and smile at her. I think they're going to be good friends and we also hope it will help encourage our little guy to crawl and walk soon!
"I'm gonna get your Harley!"
Coleman LOVES to be naked! He can be crying at the top of his lungs and as soon as we take off his clothes, he is happy as can be! He loves to grab his toes and have us blow on his belly!
Good news! The baby eczema has cleared up quite a bit with lotion 2x's a day and a different cream...thankfully I didn't have to give up dairy like I thought! Woo-hoo!
We are excited for the things ahead in the next month: trying solid foods, a family vacation to TN, Coleman's first Thanksgiving, Coleman's first time in the snow, and so many more things Coleman will learn that I'm sure we aren't prepared for!
