First Two Weeks

The first two weeks of Colston's life have been very fun and tiring for mommy! But, we do love having him here. Zoey absolutely adores him and wants to help with everything. She is a little rough and doesn't quite understand that she needs to be very gentle with him. It really doesn't seem to bother him much, he really only cries to let us know he is ready to eat.

We went to his two week appointment and he weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounces. The doctor was surprised because he said they are usually excited when babies just make it back up to their birth weight. He has almost gained a whole pound since we brought him home. He really doesn't seem like a two week old, well now he is almost 3 weeks, but he is just growing so much. He is very alert and already very smart.

Zoey loves to sit by Colston and get their picture taken together.


Here is Colston's first bath given by mommy and his sister Zoey. Zoey helped by rinsing him off after we washed him with soap. She loves, loves, loves to help.
He seems so huge to me!

Here they are watching Dalmations in our bed. Colston was just crying because he wanted out of the picture. BUT, Zoey insisted that they get their picture taken on mommy and daddy's bed.
Here she is trying to calm him down. It is so cute, she will say, "It's okay baby, it's alright."
Big yawns.
Here is Zoey chillin on the couch listening to daddy's Ipod.
YES, we are very tired at our house. Colston first fell asleep on me, then Zoey came over and layed her head on me and fell asleep too! It was pretty funny. Now if I could just get some sleep!

He is Finally Here

Well, he is finally here. Yay!! Since we didn't get in on the 28th to get induced, we were bumped to September 1st. It was a really great day to have a baby. My room had big windows that looked out at the mountains and I loved laying there watching the rain outside. It was a really good day. BUT....since I had an extra weekend before the baby was coming, I decided I should take advantage and go have a mommy daughter day with Zoey. I am so glad I did this.

I took Zoey to Discovery Gateway and I am so glad I did. She had a blast. It was fun to just cater the whole day to her.
Here she is on the 3rd floor building something out of these sticks. I love Discovery Gateway because it helps kids learn how to use their imagination.
For lunch she wanted a corn dog so we went to the fountains with my sister and she ate her corn dog there.
Then finally the day had come. I was induced around 8:30 or so, I can't really remember the time. Colston Cory Dunn was born at 4:52pm and as cute as can be at 7 pounds 12 ounces. He is already so much fun and a really good baby.

Here we are as a family right after I had Colston. I don't like posting pictures of me because I look awful. I hate how having a baby makes you look and feel so puffy!
Zoey is so excited to have a brother. She loved him the minute she saw him. I love this picture because it shows her excitement.
Kissing little Colston. Zoey loves, loves, loves to give him kisses. It is cute.
Here she is at the hospital with my dad holding Colston.
Sound asleep.

Sleeping on Daddy.
First time in carseat...asleep.
Asleep in the swing.
Asleep on the couch.
Asleep, asleep, asleep. Yes, as for now, he is probably only awake for about 2 hours a day. All he does is sleep. Which I guess is nice for Zoey so she gets more time with Mommy.

I am doing really good, the delivery went very well. I am just really tired all the time.
