Colton's Arrival

As many of you know, Colton arrived on April 1st @ 5:56PM weighing 8lbs 5oz and 22in long. If you know me & Brian, you know that this is very fitting for us. It's hard to believe that he has been an outside baby for a little over 6 weeks! Labor and delivery were awesome (as soon as I got my epidural), I wish I could have had an epi for the recovery phase. =) The last 6 weeks have been a learning curve for us, but a great one. Colton is a great baby and only cries when he is hungry, dirty, or wants a change of scenery (hmm... does he have his daddy's ADD already?). He hates baths. I think he wants to be the smelly kid on the block, we may have to battle that as he gets old, luckily he is at our mercy now. Colton is a very "portable" baby and enjoys getting out of the house. This past weekend we went to an air show at the local Air Force base and he seemed to enjoy himself, as much as a 6 week old can. He started giving real smiles last week, but is being very coy with the camera. I just can't seem to capture one! His half smile is particularly cute, makes me think he is already plotting against us. We are enjoying every minute of having him here and watching him change. Here are some pics from when he was first born:
