A Perfect Day for a First Walk

I'm a little late in posting these pics, but two weeks ago the weather was really beautiful here in Blackfoot. Shane and I decided that it would be a perfect time for a "First Walk". Colson loved it!

Baby Blessing

Here's my side of the family eating dinner out at Texas Roadhouse. It was a blast!

We were so excited that my family got to come out for Colson's baby blessing. My mom, dad and brother Brain drove out from Denver, and then my brother Casey drove down from Rexburg. If that wasn't awesome enough, my sister and I came up with a plan to surprise my entire family and have her fly out from California to see everyone. She bought her ticket flew into Salt Lake and her best friend form high school picked her up and brought her to Idaho for us. It was a great surprise and it was fun to be able to be with my siblings. We were just sorry that Will, Hudson and Annie weren't able to come. We miss you guys! And love you!

It was so windy and cold on the day Colson got blessed. It was nuts. As soon as we got home, we all got into comfy clothes, so alas we have no dressy family pictures with Colson. We did snap a few of him before we got him out of his little outfit. I'm not one to bless boys in all white I think they look funny. Shane and I went for the little tweed pants and argyle sweater vest instead!

Since Colson is now over two months old, all the nieces and nephews were allowed to hold him for the first time. They were all very excited.

This is me, my sister Jessica and her best friend from high school Sandi. We're in the main part of the funeral home where we live. We all came to the conclusion that we couldn't paint a mural on the ceiling of a building, unless we were on scaffolding laying on our back. But even then we thought that we would most likely breath in a lot of paint that would fall into our noses. We're just glad that it wasn't us who had to paint the angels on the ceiling.

The Amazing Balding Baby

Colson had so much hair when h was born. Infact, one of our nicknames we have for him is monkey. Recently he has aquired male pattern baldness due to cradle cap. It's so sad but funny at the same time. We can only hope that it won't last too much longer and the hair on the top of his head will grow back!

The Amazing Growing Baby

Just ignore the crazy mom holding the baby.

Well, Colson is now 7 weeks old. He's weighing in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 19.5 inches long. He's such a great eater and sleeper. We keep catching him smiling and cooing more and more. We have so much fun watching him get bigger, and can't wait until we get to see more of his personality.

Lullabye and Goodnight...

Our wonderful sister in law Jocylyn gave us a "life saving" baby toy after Colson was born. It's a sound and light maker. It plays music and lights up but at the same time it projects pictures on the ceiling. The past few nights randomly we here the music start playing because he smacked it with his little fist. When I would go in to check on him, he would just be staring at the lights and moving parts. We love it, the only down side is that we end up hearing it in our room too through the baby monitor.

Hanging Out With Dad

Shane has been so good staying home with Colson while I finish up my student teaching. You can definently tell they're going to be great pals for life! Colson loves hanging out with Shane even if they're just sitting together eating rice!

Life With a New Baby

It's hard to believe that Colson is already a month old. He's been so much fun to have in our home. He's such a good baby. Here are a few recent pictures we've taken.

He loves his swing.

Colson loves taking baths. He hates it when we take him out!

Tummy Time is always fun! He's getting really strong.
