Colden is sleeping through the night!!!! I knew I would be happy about this before it happened, but I had no idea how ecstatic I would be. He eats at 7:30 and is in bed by 8. He doesn't fall asleep until he has recounted the days events with his musical seahorse, but after he is done... OUT. It's funny to listen to him "talk" over the baby monitor. The inflections in his coos and his little laughs let you know he just told his seahorse something pretty funny. I can just imagine that conversation.... "Well today you should of seen the dump I took. I don't know what Mom is putting in that bottle, but man it must be something fierce. And then, when they were giving me my bath, I made bubbles. Yes bubbles! I know it's pretty amazing. Mom and Dad thought it was pretty cool too, cause they laughed about it for a good while after... I wonder when I eat next... Those fish swimming circles above my bed are kind of mesmerizing... Yea I like that song too... I'm just gonna lay here and ZZZZZZ." Next time he is up is at 6:30. Awesome!
The test run on rice cereal wasn't a huge success, but it is progress. You would think that because he is 1/4 Filipino he would love rice in any form. Not so. He will let you put spoonful after spoonful in his mouth, but he will refuse to swallow. He will wait till his mouth is full then lets it all run out his mouth and down his shirt. He has a bib on, mind you, but he manages to find the small crack in its defenses and send the goo under his shirt and down to his belly. Right location, wrong side. Maybe that's why babies' skin is so soft, they have daily rice cereal spa treatments.
He has also experienced his first college football Saturday at the house. He didn't cry once during the A&M game and I think he even pooped when College Game Day mentioned Texas. He's a smart kid. Enjoy the pics.
