One Month Old

I can't believe that Colton is already one month old.  Time is flying by!  Here are some things I've observed about Colton:
  • He loves music.  He falls asleep very quickly if he's listening to some tunes.  His favorite seem to be softer music from the '60s and '70s.
  • His eyes are a dark grey and brown color.  I know this is a typical color for babies, but I can't tell what the final color will be -- hazel like his dad's and Eden's, or brown like his mom's.  It could go either way.
  • His hair keeps getting lighter.  When we first came home from the hospital, his hair looked dark brown.  Now, it's a lighter golden brown color.
  • Colton likes to eat every two hours.  I keep trying to extend his eating time to 3 hours, but it's been difficult.  He typically eats for 5 minutes and then passes out.  I can't wake him!  In contrast, his sister used to eat for at least 15 minutes at his age.  No wonder she had all of those jelly rolls!
  • Colton gets up every 2-3 hours at night to eat, but falls asleep pretty quickly when he's done.  He already seems like a better sleeper than Eden.  Not hard to do, but thank God!
  • He follows noises by turning his head, likes to look at light, and has made a little bit of eye contact.  In a rare moment, he actually giggled at his Nana. 
All in all, Colton seems like a pretty mellow baby.  Let's hope that it stays this way!
