Thank You!!!

I wanted to put a quick post just to mention how grateful I am for EVERYTHING that our friends and family have done for us and Collin these past few months.

We have been showered with love and concern from so many. There have been gifts given which where made with care and a great deal of time. Calls, emails, texts and visits have been made to check in on us. Advise and a helping hand have been offered.

Every day I use burp clothes, baby clothes, baby lotion, diapers, blankets, etc. that were given to us by you and I think how blessed we are. With most of them I can remember who gave them and I actually think of that person as I use the item(s). I want you to know how much your contribution, love and support are appreciated.

WE LOVE YOU!

More Photos!

We LOVE having lots of pictures!!! These are ones our friend Luaren Vining came to the house and took of Collin when he was 6 days old. Great job Luaren, you did a wonderful job!

(Our Valentines baby)

I love how modest he is in this one covering up his private.

This one is so adorable! I think I should frame it for Mark's office. He looks like he is dreaming about money.

The One Month Report

A month ago our little guy was so swollen. That didn't last long but he still has cheeks u just want to pinch or kiss like crazy!

This is Collin at exactly one month old. Unfortunately he was a little cranky.

More pictures from the past few weeks

Collin hates bath time.

He likes to listen to the classical channel on t.v.

Look at all this hair!

Collin Update

Thank you grandma!

Can't thank my mom enough for staying with us the first week. She was there to help with meals and cleaning the house (she knows how I am), and took Collin whenever I needed time to shower or relax. She always made sure I had taken my vitamins or stayed hydrated. Thanks mom, you were amazing!

Our little guy at exactly one week old.

This is when we went to have Collin circumcised. The procedure was one of the most difficult the doctor had ever done and it was torture to watch. Yes, Mark and I stayed for the whole thing (which took three times as long of a normal procedure). We held his hand and talked to him the entire time. He has healed nicely and we are so glad to have that behind us.

Mark has his finger in his mouth. Collin likes to suck on it since he hasn't taken to a pacifier yet.

He loves these monkeys.

We have two friends that offered to take pictures of Collin for us. We were so excited to get them done and see the results and they turned out great! Mark and Kelley took pictures where Mark and I got to be in the pictures with Collin and our friend Lauren took naked pics of Collin on his own (adorable). We will get those posted soon but here are the family shots. Thanks Mark and Kelley, you did such an awesome job!!!

He sleeps just like his momma...mouth wide open

Tonight our little angel is three weeks old. It has been a fun past couple weeks. We love our home so much more filled with baby noises!
