Coler-Bear...

Cole had his four month check up today...yes I know he's five months old. :-) Anyway, he's 16lbs 8oz and 25.5 inches long and his head is 42.5cm. He's basically in the 50th percentile for everything. :-) Unfortunately, the poor baby has thrush, a yeast infection, teething and a cold. :-( He was SOOOO happy for the dr today! Dr. Bartlett just sat there and held him and played with him while he talked to us. He also got three shots today. He wasn't very happy about that, but once daddy picked him up, he was just fine. We talked to him about Cole's sleeping issues and he said that he doesn't think it's colic but that he's getting overwhelmed with all the changes in his little life and once things settle down, he thinks it will get better.
We asked him about Ryan's attitude that he's had lately and he thinks Ryan is overly tired and overwhelmed also. He told us to encourage Miss Carolyn to have Ryan take an after school nap and not just quiet time. He said to keep his bedtime at 7pm and if he comes into our bed at night during the week to take him back to his bed because he's probably not sleeping well if he's in bed with us. He said he thinks if Ryan is in bed with us and Cole is in the same room (not to mention Josh's snoring) then he probably isn't sleeping WELL, so he's still tired. So basically we've been prescribed sleep! :-) I'm okay with that!
Tomorrow they are having a free harvest festival (can't beat a free fun day!) and we have to meet with the bishop at the church at 10am. So I should probably get myself and Cole to sleep! :-) Ryan's already asleep and I don't think Josh is far behind him! LOL!
