In the past few days Colby has figured out a surefire way to get mommy's attention and sympathy. Ahhhh...the power of the lower lip!
We're still on a quest to capture his smile on film! I can't wait until he gets camera trained!
You've got to love the rolls in his thighs! Sleeping is the only time I can keep his socks on!
It's official, I have spoiled him rotten. He likes to be held all the time. I was folding laundry when I realized he fell asleep in my arms so I layed him down in the crib. It was his first sleep in his big boy crib! (Right now he sleeps next to our bed in a smaller crib). It only lasted about 10 minutes but it was nice to have two arms to do things with even if it was just for a moment. Look at how he's busting out of that onsie (and check out those Spinder legs too!) I can't believe how fast he's growing!
After a very stressful day of interviewing and being circumcised Colby passed out with daddy (who had just worked 24 hours straight). I love how Colby is resting his little hand on Jason's forearm!
September 14th was a big day for Colby and Ashley. I had two interveiws and unfortunately Jason had to work so Colby went with me. Thankfully they were very understanding, eventhough I had to nurse him in the middle of one of them! After that we went on our first mommy-son date to Panera and than we headed to the pediatrician for his circumcision. That part was terrible! He cried and cried. I am so happy it is overwith! This picture was taken after he cried himself to sleep at the pediatricians office as we were getting ready to check out. He is wearing these super cute doggie booties. They are way to big but are the only things that will stay on his feet! He looked so handsome!
Kiwi has really adapted well to Colby. Sometimes he will accidentaly pet her, as soon as he touches her she leans into him. It is really cute!
It is hard to believe that it was just a little over a year ago that we exchanged these rings. Isn't it amazing what love can create?
Sometimes I get so caught up in the fact that Colby is a big baby I forget how tiny he really is.
Jason and I learned the hard way - never go anywhere without the diaper bag! We had to run out of the mall with a very stinky baby. It didn't seem to bother Colby one bit!
When I was pregnant I had this picture in my head of a cute birth announcement picture - my tiny newborn in a baseball glove. I had no idea I would give birth to an 8 pound baby!.JPG)
After having to wrestle with all of the cords when he was in the NICU it felt so good to just hold Colby without any wires.
It is hard to really get an idea of jst how big he is but here is our 19 pound cat. The pretty bow is from Bob, he thought he was such a handsome kitty with that on!.JPG)
After a long stressful 4 days we were all very hungry so on the way home from the hospital we stopped at one of our favorite restaurants, Olive Garden. Colby was a dream baby and slept the whole time. We even got extra breadsticks because, the waitress said, "he's such a cute baby!" We have to agree with her!
It was a long journey but 4 days after Colby was born we were finally able to take him home. It felt so good to get out of that hospital.

We took this when Colby was finally allowed to room in with us. It was the first time we actually got to see him in natural light. The NICU didn't have windows. We could not stop staring at him.
