...with an 8 week-old baby boy.
I know I may be a little biased about this, but I really do think that Collin may just be the most adorable baby in the whole world.
It sounds funny, but my favorite times of the day are when I go to change his diaper. I don't know what it is about that changing table, but just about every time I plop him down, he looks up at me and smiles this big, gummy, toothless, tounge-y smile. It completely melts my heart. Then we proceed to chat for a few minutes... yes, I can tell he's talking to me. And yesterday, he made a new squeeky/gurgle-ly sound that was just for me. So precious....
Oh, and he is sooo good. He has fallen into a great 3 hour routine of feeding, playing, sleeping. He gets very excited playing under his gym. His face gets all serious, and he swings and kicks with great intensity. It's so fun to watch. And his nap times have become so predictable. When he starts getting fussy, I swaddle him up in his crib, give him his binky, and he usually falls asleep all on his own within a few minutes.
He's doing pretty good at night. He's usually fussy during the evening hours, but once he falls asleep, he sleeps for 4-5 hours. Last night, he slept until 4:30am!! What a guy!
Oh, I just love him.
P.S. The top 2 pictures were actually taken when Collin was 3 1/2 weeks old by a friend of mine who is starting up a photography business. The last photo is when he was 6 1/2 weeks old.

You are supposed to be in love with them, otherwise what would be the point right?!? I do think it's amazing though the capacity of the human heart to love so all encompassing and to love so many children! I guess when we have such a wonderful example of God's love to follow, how can we do anything but love so much...especially our beautiful children! :)
Just precious!!!!!
I got another glimpse of Baby Adam's face today at the specialist's office--ahhhh, the wonders of technology these days. Albeit there was usually a fist in the way or some unexplained blob, but what I could see made my heart skip a beat...he has the same squooshed nose and plump cheeks as his big sister!
I'm already eating him up... :o)
Now I just have to wait since it looks like we're just letting nature take it's course--no early induction plan at this point.
He IS the cutest baby boy in the world and Summer Grace is the cutest baby girl. Oh how I want to hug him!!!! xxx's Mom
