Colter’s first photo shoot at home – 6 days old. I can’t believe how much he has changed and how much bigger he seems already – I’m sure I’ll be saying that on repeat for the next 18 years. :) He was 3 weeks old on Saturday and we are adjusting to our new schedule and life together. It is pretty incredible to have a little person that needs you 24 hrs a day / 7 days a week. And by incredible I mean life-altering, tiring exhausting, at times frustrating, and yet so rewarding. My daily routine has slowed to a halt – it takes hours to get ready to go anywhere, breakfast doesn’t necessarily happen anytime before noon, the best time to shower and dry my hair is around midnight… and it takes about 3 weeks to finish a blog post. ;) Oh and we do laundry every single day so that we don’t smell like sour milk. Or poop.
Colt, I can’t believe you’ll be a month old next weekend. Everyone told us that time starts flying by even faster when you have kids and they sure are right. You and me – we’ve had our ups and downs the last three weeks battling pain, sickness, infection and exhaustion. But this morning I planted a few kisses on your face while I was changing your diaper – and you smiled, and sort of giggled. I can’t wait to see more of those smiles and watch you grow and explore the world around you. I love you more and more every day, sweet boy.
