Updates!

Wow, I can hardly believe that Collin Wyatt is already 5 months old! The time has gone by so quickly but it's really hard to remember what life was like without him. He is growing a changing so everyday. He is now eating rice cereal once a day and is always eager to open his mouth for it. He kind of picks and chooses the days that he wants to roll over. Some days he never will and other days you can't keep him in one spot. He is so smiley all the time and is really starting to giggle a lot. He laughs at Carson when he plays peek-a-boo and he also finds Brett's silly faces quite funny. He's still sleeping farely good at night. He goes to bed at about 7pm and usually wakes at 5am to nurse and have his diaper changed, then goes back to sleep until 6:30am when he hears everyone else waking up. I'm anxious to see the many things he will be doing over the next month!

As for Carson....he is still in the "horrible" three's as I have come to call them. He most recently became a picky eater. I think it has something to do with the Halloween candy but it's very irritating to listen to him whine about foods that he has always eaten before. I was talking with Jill (our daycare provider) about it today and I could barely come up with one meal that he really enjoys eating right now. He is also refusing to stay in his bed at bedtime. I am finding that the Supernanny approach works well...taking him back to his bed without speaking to him but we still have to do that several times before he will fall asleep. I won't go into detail about all the "horrible" behaviors he has right now (hitting, back talking, ect.) but I will share a really cute moment with you.....

He's been talking alot about the new toys he wants for Christmas so I explained to him that he needed to pick out some old toys that he rarely plays with to donate to some little boys who don't have any to play with. He was surprisingly excited about doing this! As he was looking through is playroom he very casually said to me, "Mommy, you should donate your exercise thing because you rarely use it." What a smarty pants...and yes...he is very right about the "rarely" part!
