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.

Shower #1
The amazing and delicious food and beautiful display thanks to Kelly
The yummy cupcakes thanks to Jennie
The guest of honor Colbie, she slept through the entire shower
I am behind on posting, life with a newborn does not allow much time for blogging or even checking e-mail, going to the restroom, eating, sleeping or anything else for that matter but I wouldn't trade a minute of it. I have a lot to catch up on but decided I needed to go back several weeks to some very special events. My dear friend Kelly asked to give me a baby shower when she first found out I was pregnant, she had been planning the big event and then surprise Colbie made her arrival 10 days early. We decided to go ahead with the shower and I would bring 5 day old Colbie with me to the shower. Everyone was very kind and understanding when I requested that no one hold her, I really appreciated there understanding. The shower was of course amazing, the food was delicious, the decor was beautiful, the sweets were sweet, the guests were very kind and generous and helped us welcome Colbie to the world. I really appreciate Kelly, Holly, Jennie, Paige, Heather and Elizabeth K. and any others that helped make this such a special event for our family. We feel blessed every day when we look at our beautiful girl and we are so happy to share our joy with wonderful friends.
