2 week update

A little update on my picture obsession with Colin. I am simply amazed at how alert he is for being just 2 weeks old. I swear my doctors had my dd wrong all along! Colin is just the happiest baby and likes ALL of his toys. We are so lucky he is entertained so easily.

The one downfall I must say is changing time. This little man loves to "spray" and he catches me off guard everytime. I am still working on a speedy diaper change! But it is true what they say about boys- diaper changing is a bit of a challenge- especially late at night!

Colin in his other nursery @ Nana and grandpa's house. I just love how Colin pushes his tush into the air when he is trying to "relieve" himself. He also grunts like an old man. It's just hilarious and sweet at the same time. Who knew relieving yourself could be sweet?

I didnt know where to stop with the pictures- i take too many! Colin is ready to watch the draft with dad!! Thanks for my adorable socks Carrie and Ashley!

the beloved mirror.

Colin is just like his daddy staring at himself in the mirror. He loves looking at his reflection in his swing and I thought this floor mirror would be a good try. I was amazed how alert he was touching the mirror while looking at himself. What a smart boy! :)

Happy birthday to our little stud :) Poor Colin was such a great sport while I took these photos. It really is amazing how he changes day by day. Justin and I are sleep deprived but so in love. It's amazing the conversations you have in the middle of the night when you are running on little sleep.

I love watching Justin with Colin. Justin has big plans for this guy when he is able to run around. I hope he is ready!

Tucker is doing A-MAZING with Colin. He rests his head right near him when he is sitting on couch/bed.

I am doing good. Recovery is tough and we are still in shock I carried a 9 lb 6 oz baby- but a very healthy one at that!

Hope to be able to keep up with these posts!! Love to you all :)

Colin Patrick Smith entered the world on April 12, 2010 at 1:12 pm weighing 9 lb 6 oz. We arrived back from the hospital on Thursday and are adjusting to life with our precious son. We are so in love with him and feel so lucky to have him in our lives. Parenthood really is an amazing feeling :)

We arrived home to a huge stork in front of our home. Thanks Meg for making our "homecoming" so nice. Lots more posts to come for our little man!

Thanks to all our family and friends who have helped us out, sent their well wishes and visited us. We truly are a very blessed family!

39 weeks.

While I have been hiding behind the camera the last month I decided to let Justin take one last picture of me just so that I have something to look back on. The last few weeks of pregnancy is not glamorous. I have felt like a penguin walking around but know it is all very very worth it. We can't wait to introduce our newest family member to the world. Please pray healthy happy thoughts!
