Daddy of the Year!

I've been back to work for two days now and I think it was the worst decision ever! Monday I woke Colby at 6:30 so I could love on him before I left for work and Chris said I messed up his routine but it was worth it. When I got home at 3:00 he was napping and I couldn't wait for him to wake up. I rushed in there and picked him up when he made the first little sound, he really wasn't completley awake but I helped him out! I think about him every second of the day and, I watch the clock constantly! When I get home and pick him up it's the best feeling in the world to give him 100 kisses and squeeze him close! I have to say that Chris is the best husband in the world! He was off the past two days and stayed home with Colby, I was so jealous! He kept Colby on his routine, read to him, washed the clothes and cleaned the house when Colby was napping, and tolerated me calling every hour on the hour. He did everything perfect, but the sweetest thing about it was that he enjoyed every minute of it! I couldn't ask for a better husband and an amazing daddy!

Colby's Big Weekend- 1st Party

Colby had a playdate this weekend with Wyatt and Conner. Colby didn't know what to think when I laid him the middle of these big boys. Conner is very active and was trying to grab his face. He quit grabbing his face and decided to be sweet and hold his hand, too cute!





Colby also went to his first birthday party today, but he just couldn't stay awake to enjoy the fun!









Well tomorrow is the big day, I'm returning to work. I only cried once but it was a down pour. I was asking Chris if he thought Colby would wonder tomorrow where I went. Chris said probably and it made me break down and want to quit my job. He meant well but I wish he wouldn't have said yes. He gave me a big hug and tried to console me and even told me not to go back
( He is so wonderful). My favorite part of each day is when Colby wakes up from his nap because when I look over in his bed to pick him up he gives me the biggest smile and it melts my heart. I told Chris that I would be missing two of his wake time smiles. It kills me to think that he might be wondering why is mommy not here this time. Chris doesn't go into work until 1:00 tomorrow so he will be able to keep Colby and mom won't come until 1:00, then I will be racing home at 3:00! Well if your reading this, please stop and say a prayer for me and Colby. I will let you know how it goes!

Learning to Laugh

Colby learned to laugh and now he laughs like it's going out of style!




This week is my last week to be at home with my little man, and I'm soaking up every minute of it. Chris I and went to see a movie yesterday for our Valentine date and I had the worst seperation anxiety. I don't really know how I will make it going from 7:00-3:00 everyday and not seeing his precious face and kissing his chubby cheeks. I've been with him for 11 weeks now, and it's definetly not long enough. I tried to return to my job next August but it didn't work out. The school district was going to have to hire a certified teacher, and if she wanted to keep the job then she could but if there was an opening then I could have my job back. It was a hard decision because I love my job and the openings at my school are rare. I decided to go back since I'm blessed enough to have my mother keep Colby. If my mother was not able to keep Colby then I would have definetly given up my job! She is going to come to my house each morning and keep him until I return at 3:00. I normally stay at school until 5:00 and get a lot of extra things done, but that won't be in my future anymore.

This is when I broke the news to Colby that I was going back to work :(!





Colby is doing great and still getting chunkier and chunkier! He still has a little bit of gas problems. He woke up at 5:30 crying, pulling his legs up, and passing gas like a grown man. Chris held an ice bag of warm water over his belly and I exercised his legs in the bicycle motion. This is a wonderful method to get trapped gas out of your baby. It works so well and it's funny too, the harder we bicyle the louder he poots. We were cracking up this morning because he was actually laughing, I guess because it felt good!


Well thats the scoop in our life! I hear colby waking up on the monitor, he can feel meal time coming on!

Colby's 1st Big Boy Bath

Colby had his first big boy bath! His legs were hanging over the newborn net so we took it out so his body could be in the water more. As you can see he loved it, he just laid back and enjoyed the bubble bath! Bath time wore him and daddy out!
