Many Updates - Sleeping, Eating Baby Boy!

Lots of exciting happenings in the Hobson House as of late.  We are in full Holiday mode and Cole is loving it.  We put the tree up early this week and he enjoys looking at the lights and the decorations.  He opened one present early this week and as is typical with kids...the paper was fascinating!  

This weekend we were trying to get our Holiday Cards ready and needed to get a photo of Cole.  Let's just say the photo shoot was pretty funny and he wasn't really enjoying what mom and dad had as our artistic vision for the picture.  We were able to get a couple of great shots that will work for the card.  

Cole has recently started eating solids.  He has been a very good eater and for the most part has enjoyed the experience.  Water is not his favorite, but the food is great.  He loves his sweet potatoes and is not very fond of carrots.  The carrots have grown on him, but it was a tough start.  We have to be careful as he is like a goldfish...he will just keep eating and eating and eating.  As with any food change there comes changes with the output.  Wow.  

And the biggest news of all is Cole is sleeping in his own bed all evening long!!!  We finally hit the wall and all of us were ready for the move to his room.  The first night was really tough.  He maybe slept an hour and a half.  But the second night he was a champ!  Went to bed and basically didn't wake up until the morning.  We knew we shouldn't get too excited so we waited for the third night and again success!  Very little waking in the night, but he is doing one thing just to freak us out.  He has decided that he would rather sleep on his stomach learning how to roll from his back to his belly.  At first we thought it was a fluke and just flipped him over.  Nope.  Almost instantaneously he flips back over and goes to sleep.  Oh well.  He is strong enough to lift his head and to roll over from his belly.

Each week is packed with activity.  I hope everyone is finding some time to enjoy a little down time during this hectic period.
