Month-one Activities

Grant wants me to go to a movie with him this afternoon because our nanny, Sarah, is here, JR is with DD, Cadie is at school and Grant has a light workload today. I told him I have too much to do!! He asked me what I have to do and everything I told him did fall a little flat - start packing for our trip to Georgia, mail a package to my sister, update my blog, etc. He said, "Updating your blog should take just a minute. Colton, eats, sleeps, poops and is getting chubby. Done." Hmmm - I was hoping to add a bit more detail, but since I will most likely be persuaded to go to the movies, here is a quick update about Colton's month-one activities.

Dates of note:
- Aug. 18: Born!
- Aug. 20: Home from hospital
- Sept 1: First spend the night with DD and Big John
- Sept. 2: Umbilical cord fell off
- Sept. 3: First shower with Dad
- Sept. 6: 2 week doctor appointment. Weight = 9 lbs. 13 oz.; Length = 22.5 inches
- Aug. 24 - Sept. 11: Nina is here

Brother love!

Jack Ranger does not enjoy the sound of Colton crying. Really, none of us do.

Cadie is SO sweet and nurturing with Colton. The other day I told her how much I appreciated her helpfulness and she clarified for me, "Mom, I love helping with Colton, but when it comes to his poo, you are in charge." No diaper changing yet for her.

Snuggling with Big John.

Like his siblings before him, Colton enjoys his swing.

First bath

First shower - he loved it.

2-week doctor appointment. He grew a whole pound and was 9 lbs. 13 oz.

Colton and Nina are in love. She stayed with us for over two weeks and just left last Wednesday. We miss her!!
