Gotta Love Being a Mom (and a Dad!!!)

I will find the time to post part 2 of C's coming home, but I just wanted to post about the fun stuff that has been going on. C is so sweet! Those of you who have met him and held him see how cute and snuggly he is. The evenings are what we deem the "witching" hour, when his Colic seems to rear it's ugly head. We have tried Mylicon, swaddling, etc, and just purchased some Gripe water and it seems to be working. Every night seems to bring a bit more sleep, and although we are tired, we just love to hold sweet C and share our love with him. C loves to be held, and loves to just watch and stare at the faces of those holding him. He will even sneak a little smile if you are lucky!!! He is spoiled and sleeps in a swing, but it is our only salvation and way that we can ensure a few hours of sleep. Mike and I LOVE being a Mom and Dad, and are all too happy to hold our sweet guy. He loves to eat, and he weighed in at 10 pounds last Friday, when I took him to our pediatrician for the first time. He is being fed "the good-stuff" and it REALLY cuts down on the symptoms of his Colic. I wish you all could see him and hold him, because everyone who does just falls in love with C. He has adoring aunts, uncles, Grandparents, cousins, and of course, parents and siblings. He loves to stare at a picture of the Savior on the wall, and just melts your heart with his smiles!!! His little cry is darling. We love to dress our little guy (okay, I love to dress our little guy) even though he hates it at the time. C has monkey-hair, and it does whatever it wants, no matter what you do with it. He has long eyelashes and big baby-blue beautiful eyes. We could not love him more and can not wait till he is an official part of our family, for good. We are grateful to so many that we are blessed to be able to have his sweet spirit in our home.
