One Month with Colter

Our little Colt is one month old today! I thought I’d do a little re-cap of our first weeks with him. When I look back at these early photos of his first days, I can’t believe how tiny he looks and much he has already changed. Yesterday we drove up to the local mountains and took him on a hike in the Ergo baby carrier – it was so fun and so nice to get some fresh air and exercise! I didn’t take a camera with me, but you can check out my Instagram-overload of Colt by following me @acresofhopephotography. :)

Our little guy is starting to smile (hopefully I’ll catch one on camera soon!), makes fists and loves holding on to dad’s fingers… falls asleep within minutes in the baby carrier, hates his car seat, loves Christmas parties (and being the center of attention), sleeps in his crib, only wakes mom up once at 3am, is wearing size 1 diapers and outgrowing his 0-3 month clothes all too quickly. He is a hungry little guy and clocks in at about 11.5 lbs now. Happy one-month birthday buddy!
