First Swim


Colin, Daddy, and I went to Aunt Lynn's condo for a swim! She's got an indoor pool and it had rained earlier so we thought indoor was the way to go! However, that water was still chilly!! Colin did not mind the water.  He was very unsure at first! We plan to take him back to the pool soon! He enjoys bath time so much now and so I am curious to see if he'll enjoy the pool the same!  The next day, he did go to the ocean and I did dip his fit into the rushing water. That scared him and needless to say, we were done with the ocean. This is Colin in his bumbo, under an umbrella (although it was so cloudy, he didn't need one). He even had a bottle on the beach. Thanks Donna Kay!  :) She also took those amazing pictures above!

One sad mommy

So the time has arrived. August. The time when children go back to school which means this new mommy must go back to work too. I honestly thought at first, it would be so easy to go back.  As much as I love Colin, I do miss adults and I can go a bit stir crazy sitting in the house all day, every day.  However, as soon as August hit, I realized this was going to be no easy thing to do! I cried before I was even due back. Just the thought broke my heart! They say it gets easier and I pray and hope "they" are right. Whoever "they" are did not have Colin Michael as their son that's for sure. Leaving this kiddo is insanely tough and there has not been a morning so far that I have not cried on the way to his sitters and then again on the way to work. Our mornings are so sweet together and he is such a happy boy!  It is astounding to me how much I am in love! He did not have a great day today as he cried and cried and Mrs. Leslie had a difficult time soothing him so please pray that we'll both get the hang of this. My heart can hardly take this! I try to think of the positives like how wonderful a life we will be able to give Colin with me working such as a paid for college education! haha In honesty, please say a quick prayer for me that I can cope with not being with my son all day and one for Colin that he will have a much better day with his sitter which by the way is such a sweet person and I am so pleased with her! I have a lot of pics to share but as of right now every spare moment is spent with my loves.  By the way, he's snoozing right now.  :)

Colin and Hannah

Told you my child was surrounded by girls.  We find out Friday if there will be another girl joining him as a
friend or a boy!  I've got my fingers crossed for boy but either way I'll be so happy for my friend!!


Hannah is Colin's cousin. She was born in December ( she wasn't due until February) so she's a little thing! She's got strawberry blonde hair and skin like her mom but other than that, Hannah is all daddy!

Amazement

WARNING:  This may be incredibly sappy.

 

I  woke up this morning in  pure awe and amazement. Colin enjoys sleeping in my arms and when he  gets up early for a feeding, I sometimes let him sleep in my arms and we snooze together.  Well, I always wake up first. I woke up this morning and looked over on  my right arm and just watched him. He moves around, makes spit bubbles, and sometimes even snores while sleeping. While watching him, I just  thought how amazing and beautiful what love has created.  How did my heart beat without this child??  How did the world even exist??  My heart is so full.  Can I even have more children another with my heart already so full?  Then I stopped again and thought about how much my parents love me and again, I’m amazed.  Then an even bigger thought occurred. God’s love for me.  My love for Colin is gigantic, can’t begin to imagine God’s love.  I can’t tell  you how blessed I am everyday to have such amazement in my life.

I hated to post these pictures because of how PALE, almost translucent I am but it’s great of everyone else so I took one for the team and posted them. Winking smile

Notice little man and what he has in his hand. Ceanne just smiles through it. Colin loves to grab onto things.  When he’s in my arms, he either has my shirt in this hand or my hair.  Luckily, he doesn’t pull too hard ! Thanks Ceanne for entertaining Colin! Smile
