Crying babies can wait for another occasion, because Edward and I would like to take a few moments to congratulate our brood on their due date: they are full-term (ie. 40 weeks old) today!
Colin on Friday night, tipping the scales at approximately seven pounds, three ounces
Colin minutes after birth on September 25, weighing in at two pounds, twelve ounces---------
Our Amazing Baby A! Although he was The Instigator who broke his water that Saturday morning we have forgiven him, for he is a very content and mild-mannered Monkey. He spends a lot of time quietly lying in his crib, with his face a reflection of perpetual wonder - and worry! Colin is prone to a furrowed brow and seems to be a sensitive soul. He may be the first to cry, but he will often put himself back to sleep while waiting to be fed. When Colin REALLY cries, he attracts quite a crowd because it is such an unusual occurrence. The metamorphosis of his soft little snorting/bleating/mewling cry to a shriek means that something is seriously amiss in his universe, and it's often his tummy - it's either too full, or too empty! Our strawberry-blonde cuddlebug loves his bedtime stories, and will often settle with a smile on Daddy's shoulder for a snooze in the rocking chair. He is very alert, and will reach for his pink pig, monkey and giraffe to engage in a contemplative study. He has an amazing range of facial expressions!
We love you, Colin!
