The Prayers Worked!
Well the prayers worked and Colby is back to normal again. It was a rough week though! I'm not sure if it was teething, a fever virus, or him getting used to not being swaddle, or all of the above. Not being swaddle was an adjustment for Colby and he didn't like it one bit. I had to constantly get up and roll him back over or he would continue to cry. I put his positioner back in the bed so it makes it more difficult to roll over, it helped alot! Monday through Wednesday looked something like this:
7:00 went to bed (by himself)
7:20 wanted to be rocked to sleep
9:00 Rolled over and had a panic attack
10:30 Woke up starving
12:00 Wanted to be rocked again
1:30 Rolled over and hit his head on the headboard (acted like someone was beating him)
2:00 Wanted to eat again
4:00 Had a massive blowout and had to have a diaper change ( you would have thought that i threw cold water on him)
5:00 Woke up to eat again
5:30 had to get in the shower and get ready for work
Sooooo I was a walking Zombie at work!
After a few nights of this I was praying that whatever was wrong with little man would hurry up and go away!
Thursday I decided that I would put him to bed at 7 and I would go to bed at 7:30 so I would be prepared for the long night. He didn't make a sound until 4:00, he ate and went right back to sleep until 6:00. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
I don't know what those couple of days were all about but ever since Thursday night he has gone to bed all on his on and slept great, thank goodness!
I thank God several times a day for blessing me with a wonderful son that I am so in love with, but I have come to find out that it's not always smooth sailing but you just gotta roll with the punches!

Colby's 4 Month Checkup
Well today was a big day for Colby! Chris and I took him to the doctor for his 4 month check up (I can't believe he is already 4 months)! He wieghed 15.7 and was 26 inches long. I guess he is starting to slow down because now he is in the 50% not the 75%. Dr. Meadors said that he was very active and said since he was already rolling from his back to his belly that he will probally crawl and walk early especially since I started walking at 9 months. I guess I will be running like crazy chasing Colby everywhere, it's going to be soooo much fun!
He also had his shots today and he screamed like I have never heard before, it broke Chris's heart. As soon as the nurse was through he said, "Hurry up, pick him up" and he was kissing him on the head. It was the sweetest thing ever. He didn't cry long though, I guess he was trying to be tough in front of daddy!
Next we went to the Catholic church to talk to the priest. It's very important to Chris to have Colby baptized in the Catholic church. We were married in the baptist church and the priest was not there to bless the marriage so we have decided to renew our vows and have Colby baptized all on the same day. It's going to be on our 5 year anniversary and we are really excited to share this with our close friends and family!

Colby's First Easter
We have been so busy that it's hard to find just a few extra minutes to sit down and tell everyone how we are doing. When I get home from work, it's time for Colby to eat, we take a walk, we have tummy time, bath time, we read, it's time to eat again, and then its bedtime. After Colby is finally asleep at 7:00, I get everything ready fot the next day, cuddle with Chris on the couch, and then I'm off to bed by 8:30 or 9:00. I used to laugh when I heard people say they went to bed that early, but now I completly understand. I have to get some good sleep before 2:00 because for some reason thats what time Colby wants to eat every night!
I love bath time! Bath time is daddy time but I get him undressed and bring him to Chris and every night I look in the mirror and tell Colby he has the cutest booty in the world.
When Chris is done he passes him over and I give him the ultimate baby massage. It relaxes him and he giggles and coos the entire time. It's our special time right before he goes to sleep!
Colby had a great first Easter and the Easter bunny was really good to him. He was surrounded by grandmothers and great grandmothers that kissed his chubby cheeks all day long! He went to church for the first time and did pretty well. I thought we had it made when he fell asleep on the way but that didn't last long. As soon as the music started, his eyes popped open and he was ready to go! He made it until the very end and decided he had enough.....we were on our way.
On the way to church
"Nursing Beads"
Someone told me about nursing beads and how much their baby loved them. You are suppose to wear them while you nurse and it helps to entertain the baby. I think he is fascinated by the bright colors and he tries to see how many times he can get it wrapped around his wrist. My point of sharing this story is that nursing beads are like 25 or 30 dollars so I went to walmart and bought a bead kit for 9 dollars and it works just as good! So if you want nursing beads walmart is the way to go! That gave me more money for diapers and toys!
Which brings me to Colby's new toy! We got him a jumper and he loves it! He will jump and laugh like it's going out of style! He can't stay in long because he gets too tired and he starts leaning to the side which makes him mad. The stonger he gets I'm sure he will be out of control with the jumper!
Today Colby finally rolled over from his tummy to his back. I missed it beacuse I was at stinking work. When mom told me I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it. I was really happy that he did it but I felt so sad that I wasn't there to see it and to clapp and say yeah!!!!! At that moment I knew that I made the right decision to stay home because I knew that I didn't want to feel that way ever again. Chris is out of town on a church retreat so he wasn't here to make me feel better. He left Thursday and I'm missing him like crazy. This is the first time he has left since Colby was born and it's not the same without him because he is such a wonderful dad and he helps me so much, I'm so thankful to have him!
