Colton at 1 week old!


At ONE week old Colton is....

wearing newborn diapers, newborn clothes (even though they are a little too big), newborn shoes (thank you grandma darlene)

feeding every 2-3 hours during the day. but eating very well!
mommy is pleased!

sleeping for 4 hours at a time at night. feeding around 11, btwn 3-4 and btwn 8-9!!! maybe that is why mommy feels so great!

sleeping a lot! opens his eyes a few times a day for about 15-20 minutes at a time...not long enough for us to decide who's eyes he has yet...

already having tummy time. they suggest it earlier now...different already from when ashlyn was born.

enjoying all his visitors. thank you everyone for celebrating his life with us. we appreciate all the yummy food and love the adorable gender specific clothes!!! haha!

loves to be swaddled! another difference between
colton and big sister...

loves being cuddled and held close! we love it...
we call him our cuddle bug!

here are a few pictures from his first week of life! what love, joy and fulfillment he has already brought to our life. we are so lucky!!!

hearing test at the hospital...colton passed!

getting dressed ready to go home!

our family!

leaving the hospital!

meeting the wolves...they would not leave his side...eric had to sleep in ashlyn's room the first night because yukon and lakota would not get off the bed. they were so protective of their new brother wolf cub!
ps: yukon was excited by colton arriving it evens up the numbers in the house 3 girls : 3 boys

big sister is adjusting well. she loves her brother...
a bit more whining to be expected but already getting better!
