Since we moved to Italy, Colton is trying really hard to fit in. One way in which he seeks to be like Italian babies is by eating like them. He has begun eating homemade veggies (by dad) - which all the Italian babies do, Italian dishes such as ribollita and bruschetta, and he has expanded his menu when it comes to meat. His favorites are lamb and ostrich (pictured below)!
Colton is also trying to blend in fashion-wise. While we were out on the town the other evening we caught Colton wearing his Euro shades! ;o)
Also, he has begun trying to get on an Italian baby sleeping schedule. He is starting to really enjoy going to bed late (around 10pm) and sleeping late (around 10am). Mommy is not such a big fan of this new schedule. However, whenever I try to change it by making Colton skip his 2nd nap of the day and go to bed earlier (around 8pm) he still sleeps until 10am! What am I to do???
Besides all of that, Colton is finding some favorite things to play with. His favorite "toys" are empty water bottles and ropes/strings/leashes. They keep him entertained far longer than any real toy he has, and are the perfect go-to's when he's fussy in his stroller.
This video shows how quickly a fussy baby can be made into a happy baby, just by giving him a water bottle.
