Slept through the night

I just realized it has been over a week since the last post - here is a little update for the past week:

Last weekend we all (Chuck, myself, Colin and Sevi) took our first road trip in the new CR-V. We went up north to visit my parents. We all agreed it went very well. Sevi likes her new space in the way back, Colin can look out lots of windows (although he pretty much slept the whole way) and Chuck and I have lots of room in the front. Changing of the diaper wasn’t quite as easy since it was about 20 degrees out and we didn’t want to have the doors open. I was crouched on the floor of the passengers side and Colin was on the seat - thankfully there was no pee fountain. While up north, Chuck and I got to go cross-country skiing on the frozen lake - it was a beautiful day and it was nice to get out of the house and get some exercise.

Colin’s sleeping has been getting better and better. The other night he slept from 8:30 PM until 5:30 AM and probably would have slept longer if I hadn’t woken him up to see if he was OK. I know, I know…worried mom…I want him to sleep through the night and when he does I wake him up. I won’t do it again - it is just the the first time they do it you aren’t ready for it
His new thing of the week is banging things. He trys to hit everything: my computer, the phone, my cereal bowl, etc. Right now he is sitting in his exersaucer (sorry for sounding like a modern mom with all the ridiculous gadgets - but he likes it) and he has this plastic key. He is banging the key over and over, but the funniest part is that he knows it is going to be loud so he keeps closing his eyes right before he bangs it:
