Colton dressed up in his tie onesie to celebrate a day home with mommy and daddy.

Even when he cries he's cute!

Friday

He had a strong heart.

My answered prayer from Friday was this:

Colton's pediatrician heard a slight heart murmur the day after he was born and asked a children's cardiologist to check him out. After the ultrasound the cardiologist did hear the murmur, but said it wasn't anything to worry too much about and that he wanted to see Colton in a month for follow-up. During the next few check-ups with the pediatrician she heard the heart murmur still which of course caused us a bit of worry. She did tell us that if the cardiologist was worried he would have scheduled Colton's visit for sooner than a month, as in the next week.
So, we should take comfort in the fact that it was merely a check-up that we'd be seeing the cardiologist for.

Colton's ultrasound was on Friday with the cardiologist and after the ekg and ultrasound he said that our baby is very healthy and that the murmur would be considered an innocent heart murmur. One that doesn't heed for worry or concern but that is very normal. Both Wes and I let out a huge sigh of relief at this news. I didn't realize how worried we both were until we were given this great news. We both walked away giving praise to God for our healthy little man. :)

* As we received our good news on Friday, I couldn't help but think of the Neer family. Their news wasn't as uplifting as ours. I think of you and your family often, Jenn. You are in my prayers more than you could ever know.*

He rolled from his belly to his back today!! The milestone was caught on video (the 2nd time) so I need to figure out how to post it for your enjoyment!


Saturday

Colton and I had munched athen's fries & a gyro salad with the ladies at Paymon's. It was dee-lish!

Steph and Debbie came to visit Colton...oh, and me. :)

Debbie meeting Colton for the first time.
She brought him the cutest Easter outfits...look for those to appear next month!

Mr. Colton is all dressed up for lunch with the ladies...and all conked out after a day of fun.
He looks like a little boy in this outfit.
Melts my heart.

Sunday

We made it to church!! We went to the new campus of Hope Baptist in Boulder City (the new campus was awesome, by the way!) . Being with our church family after missing 6 weeks of worship and teaching was like coming home. Colton did amazing--he slept the entire service in his car seat and in my arms.

We grilled out with Gloria and Victor then enjoyed playing our new fave game: Ticket to Ride.


Wes pulled the swing back out and as you can see, it is perfect. (also helps that the seat tips back--just figured that out!--so he shouldn't plunge forward)
Colton loves to swing and look around. He also likes to fall asleep here, too. We don't complain because that means less walking him for us!

Monday

Sunbathing baby.

He is so Mommy's best friend. (after Daddy, of course!)
Sound asleep.
First nap he put himself to sleep w/o being rocked or held.

Dinner with Dad.

My family.
I love nothing more than to see Wes and Colton together.
and yay for pumping...this freed me up to have a road trip to pick up ice cream. :)
