3 Week Update

Its hard to believe that Colin is already 3 weeks old! The time has really flown by and taking care of 2 kids has been a lot easier that I thought it would be. Michael has been a great big brother. He is very protective of Colin and loves to hold him. When Colin is crying or if I have to feed him, Michael is great at entertaining himself. He will quietly do a puzzle or play with his toys until I am available. Colin is still sleeping a lot but has two 3 hour periods where he is awake during the day. He is content for the first 2 hours, but you better plug your ears by the time the third hour rolls around:) His sleep patterns are still pretty unpredictable at night. Sometimes he will sleep for 3 hours strait and other times he is up every hour to eat. I find that I am much more relaxed taking care of a newborn this time around. I am tired, but I remind myself that there will always be a time in the future to sleep. I will never get this opportunity back again, so I am trying to savor being a mother to 2 little boys.

Doesn't Colin look thrilled?
