Time Flies When Your Raising Babies




It is hard to believe but Colbie is now 4 months old, she seems to grow over night. She is healthy and happy, we could not have asked for a better baby we are very blessed. She went to the Doctor for her 4 month check up, she now weighs 14 lbs. 14 oz. and is 25 inches long, she eats well (obviously) and sleeps well too. She will sleep at least 10 hours a night sometimes longer depending on her nap schedule that day. We are excited for Colbie's first Christmas, we will be leaving for Utah on Saturday to spend the holidays with family, some of which have not had a chance to meet Colbie yet. We are loving every minute of having Colbie in our family and are very grateful for this blessing in our lives.

Jessica took Fall semester off of College to come to Texas and help me with Colbie, she has been here for the past 4 months and will be leaving for Utah tomorrow, Spring semester begins in January so it is time for her to get back to her life. We loved having her home with us and appreciate more than words can say her volunteering without being asked to be here during this special time. My expectations were high and I know that it was sometimes frustrating for her but I really do appreciate all that she did. She took such good care of Colbie when I went back to work and developed a wonderful bond with her that they will both treasure. While I hope she waits a long time to have a family of her own I know through this experience that she will be a wonderful Mom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and for not only taking care of Colbie but for loving her the way you do.
