Family Visit

Hey all

This past weekend, we had a nice visit with Granny, Grandad and Aunt Darlene, the world travelers (ok, maybe just southwest TX travelers) stopped to see Kyla first, then on to Jim and Lavern, us, then to Adam and finally made it back home safe and sound. While they were here, we revived our love for Canasta.. man I love that game. Granny and Aunt D spoiled Colton rotten, well, Grandad helped on that matter too. Anyways, it was nice to have company and get to show off the baby :)

We are heading to Corpus to introduce Colton to the rest of the Walker bunch. I can't wait and I am sure to post some pictures when we get back.

As for the colic.. it is still here.. bummer. Colton is doing really well in his new bedroom AKA our bathroom. That vent is a lifesaver. I wonder how much it would cost to get one installed in his room.... hmm ha ha.

Well, that is all for now. Not much to report.. just loving my baby!!

Oh sleepless night

It's official.. Colton has Colic.. YUCK!! On Tuesday, he screamed all day. Even when I would pick him up, his face was red, his body was stretched out and he was just having none of my sweet talking to calm him down. I told myself, if he is still doing this tomorrow, I am calling the doctor. Well, Wed rolls around and he is still doing it, so I called and my doctor was out but we made an appt with the guy on call. What a jerk.

Of course, you feel like an idiot when the doctor looks at you and says "well, he is a baby, and that is what babies do, they cry. You have probably over stimulated him, you know, had the TV on too loud, had too many visitors.. you need to not do that". Lucky for him, Colton choose that time to start screaming again so I was worried about him instead of telling the doctor that (A) I don't even like TV so during the day, if it is on, it is on very low and probably on CMT or something like that.. not like I am watching Jerry Springer or anything ugg and (B) I really don't know too many people here, and the people I do know WORK during the day, so we have had NO visitors.. whatever.

When I got home, I googled colic and found some suggestions on how to deal with it, but Kelli's advice was the best.. the vent in the bathroom is our new best friend. He calms down immedieatly when I turn that vent on. So.... (this might get me bad parent points, I don't know" but last night we moved his bassinet into our bathroom and turned on the vent and HALLELUJIAH, we got some sleep. Of course, he still woke up for his feedings, but was in a MUCH better mood.

First Two Weeks

Dear Friends!

Well, we have survived Colton's first week and a half at home. Whew. It was an easy couple of weeks and then again, it was hard to adjust to having this sweet baby depend only on Jett and I (and Krista) to see to his every need.

He is such a happy and content baby. He must get that from his dad!! He is very content to just lay in his little papazon (Thanks Miranda!) and stare around the room. He did have a bit of a tummy ache last night, but after some Mylocone, all was right in his world again.

I will admit, I am not a big fan of getting peed on, that seems to be another favorite passtime of the sweet baby. Every single time I give him a bath, he pees. I have gotten diaper changing down where he does not have time to get me but at bath time, he never fails to "mark his territory". I just have to laugh at him though, when he does that, he is just so funny.

Jett, Krista and I love to just sit and watch his many facial expressions, he cracks us up.

I just can't believe he is HERE and he is OUR BABY!!! I love him so much!!!

Hope this finds you guys doing well!
Love
Shauna, Jett, Bebe Colton and Krista
