The Hughes: Colson- 1 month old

I cannot believe my baby boy is already 1 month old! This past month has flown by and we are so happy Colson is here. He fits into our family perfectly and is such a sweet baby! He has had lots of visitors over the past month. JoJo of course came down as soon as we knew I was in labor. She returned after Nanny left and stayed a week to help out. I couldn't have survived the first 3 weeks without both of them!

Nanny was on the flight to Austin when Colson was born and stayed for almost 2 weeks.

Bubba came down to meet the little guy.

Colson is growing super fast! The pediatrician said Colson holds the record for gaining the most weight by his 2 week checkup! He started out at 7lbs 13 oz and by his 2 week appointment he was at 9lbs 7oz! I know he's gained some since then as well since his newborn clothes don't fit anymore.

Colson has received lots of love from big sister Katelyn. She has started to baby talk to him which is really cute. She is my big helper and always wants to be involved.

Adelyn loves "baby brother" (she refuses to say his name), but usually just leaves him alone. She wants to "hold it" for about 10 seconds and then she is done. Adelyn is much more interested in what "KiKi" is doing!

Colson has already had his first experience of being dressed up by Katelyn. She had the minnie mouse ears and couldn't resist letting him have a turn wearing them :)

Colson is much more alert and is having several good awake times each day. He sleeps really well at night, but sometimes during the day he wants his naps to be in my arms. At night he goes about 3 hrs between feedings, last night was his first 4 hour stretch! During the day he eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs.

Byron and Meggie came down for Adelyn's birthday party and to meet Colson, I didn't get a picture of them holding him though...

Colson had his first trip to the park for a picnic lunch with his sisters and Mommy. He stayed awake the whole time and watched everything that was going on around him!

The suburban's backseat is full with a 3rd car seat! Katelyn is really good about telling me if Colson is awake or asleep. She will also find his pacifier and put it in him mouth if he gets fussy- I'm telling you, she is a great helper!
