1 week old...

So, I still need to sit down and write all the

details of Cole's birth and the crazy

labor/delivery story--that's my goal this weekend.

But, until then, I thought I'd post some more

pics of the little guy's first week of life.

I can't believe he's already a week old!

I'm trying to enjoy every minute, 'cause

I can already tell the time is flying by.

I laid out on the couch early this morning

looking at him & thinking, "Last week at this

time we were driving to the hospital not

realizing that he was minutes from being born."
And that at 5:58 he'd officially made his appearance!

It hit me once again what a miracle

little babies truly are.

Since most of our family & friends haven't

been able to meet the little guy yet, I'm

overloading on posting pictures!
Here are some I took today of

the 1-week-old little man...

{the lighting in our apt is awful no matter what I do!}
{I LOVE holding him in this snuggly little sleeper!}

{he has HUGE feet! He's already outgrown
some of the newborn socks we have for him...
we're guessing he's going to be really tall
based on both his parents' heights. ha ha NOT!}

He did have his 7-day checkup today &
they said everything looks great.
He's in the 25th percentile for length &
weight, and the 50th for head size
(a bit disproportionate! haha)
He has re-gained his birthweight + 1 oz.
So he's at 7 lbs. 5 oz. now & a good little eater!

Here are some pics from the past week that
I just uploaded from our camera...

{The hospital does a little candelight dinner for

the new moms & dads. It was fun & the food

was actually pretty good}

{Grandma Carol made it...not quite in

time for the delivery, but just a few

hours later. She's still up here helping

us adjust to the parenthood stuff &

we appreciate it SO much!!}

{Aunt Amy...and Aunt Ann came to visit

too, but the pictures with her must be

on our other camera. It was SO fun &

so nice of them to come visit!!}

{ya...pretty stylin' nightgowns in the hospital!}

{G&G Todd made the 10 hour drive to come

meet their new grandson. He just sat and

stared at his grandpa for a long time.

I know they'll be great buddies!
Thanks again for coming up!}

{helping Dad study for his mid-term}

{Getting all dried off after his first bath at home...
he's still not sure he likes baths very much!}
