Bottles & Beautiful Weather

We've had a wonderfully warm winter in Charleston and have been able to spend lots of time outside.  Colin loves the outdoors and on a few occasions I've taken his bumbo seat outside so he can get some fresh air.  As you can see he's as happy as a clam when he's outside:

Another great part about this winter has been the fact that Daddy has been home every weekend!  We have gotten to spend a bunch of quality time together.  One weekend while out shopping we happened upon an interesting bottle which is supposed to help breastfed babies. We decided it would be the very last bottle we'd try. Turns out, it really works!!! Colin was finally able to take a bottle!  Daddy gave it to him while I hid out in our bedroom, however it didn't seem to matter.  He guzzled it down and Daddy had him come join me as he finished the very last bit.

He was pretty pleased with his ability to hold it all by himself and hasn't looked back since, literally.  The times I've given him a bottle since, he doesn't even look at me! 

The following weekend was absolutely gorgeous and after returning home from church we stripped off our sweaters and went out back to roll around in the grass.  Well no, actually, we don't have grass so we had to settle for our picnic blanket instead.

Daddy and Colin had so much fun being silly.

Love those giggles.

Colin was having some serious teething action going on so we spent some time cuddling together while he gnawed on his Sophie.

Ahhh, Sophie always does the trick!

We've been so blessed to have such amazing weather, time spent together, and now a baby who takes a bottle!  Life is good.
