Cole's first bath

We gave our baby his first bath today! We were both pretty nervous about it, but he needed it. Wipe downs really only work for so long. It was definitely a two "man" job though... he is so slippery! The child never cried once... he actually only got upset when we put him in his towel.

He has been sleeping for 5-6 hour sessions at night. He is finally enjoying his cradle, but still tends to sleep in his swing for an hour towards morning.

We tried bottle feeding him tonight, and he took to it like a champ. My little man takes about 7-8 ounces at a time, and that was only within 15-20 minutes. Considering I typically feed him for about 45 minutes, no wonder he is so strong!

My babies (both fur and biological) are getting along so well. Hercules sniffs Cole all the time, and will go into a bit of a panic when I am feeding him with my cover on. (I use a cover while breastfeeding when anyone is here.) When he is in his pack 'n' play, Herc tends to stay close by. I am so excited that it is working to date, but I have found it is extremely hard to give Hercules the attention he needs. We are working on getting a balance. It's a big adjustment for us all.

We took Cole on his first public outing today. Sharon, Steve, Troy and I went to lunch at a local BBQ joint, and brought little man along. He slept the whole time.

Troy enjoys photographing Cole's feet, and has begun baby calisthenics...
