Colton is 1 Week Old!

We took baby Colton to Dr Jones today for his first appointment there as a 6 day old baby boy!
Dr Jones was able to make it to Colton's delivery which was amazing because it was in the middle of his day and Dr Jones doesn't do that for just anyone so we felt very special!
Colton weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces which is in the 50th percentile. Colton was 7, 13 when he was born and then when we left the hospital he was 7, 3 so to be at 7, 9 is great! Dr Jones said he would consider anything over 7 pounds 6 ounces to be healthy! Yay! So I guess Colton is getting enough breast milk! Colton is 20 inches tall which is in the 20th percentile and his head circumference is 14 2/4 inches! He is doing great! Dr Jones said Colton is a little jaundice so we need to take him outside a little bit everyday for the next week. Dr Jones cut off his umbilical cord and cleaned out the rest so it would heal faster. He also thinks his eyes will turn green from the blue/gray they are now!
Here is Dr Jones and our handsome boy! Colton was in a super cute outfit for this appointment but I didn't get a picture of that! :(

I decided to try out the measuring bear with Colton! I saw a few people do it and I think it is very cute! I'm also going to keep the chalkboard! A least for a while and see how it goes!

The next day we had to take Colton back to get circumcised which was not a pleasant experience for everyone involved! I was holding poor Colton's hand and rubbing his head which unfortunately made me witness the whole sad experience! Agh! Here is Nonna, Mallory and Colton waiting for Dr Jones to do Colton's circumcision. :( I'm just glad it is over!

Here is a few pictures from this first week! It is amazing how much love Dustin and I feel for a tiny baby boy!

Mals 2 Year Physical

Mallory had her 2 year old physical today. I know she is 2 years & 2 months old but we have been busy and its not like she doesn't see Dr Jones like every week!
Mallory weighs 22 pounds which is in the 25 percentile and she is 33 inches tall which is in the 50 percentile! The nurse didn't measure her head circumference this time. Oh well. Dr Jones said she looked great and that her throat has healed very nicely! (Super glad we did that tonsillectomy!)
She is getting so big and talking in such long sentences! Example: Momma, I brush Dada teeth. Some of her other favorite things to say are: Huh, go away daddy(she wants me to do it instead), I'm too fat(have no idea where that came from but she says it when she doesn't fit into a hiding spot), Do it, Hello, I'm scared(the dogs bark next door), No No, I'm full(even tho shes not/she just doesn't want to eat), please, I go/I go(when she sees something she wants to do on TV), not now mom, I go to work, knock knock and there is many more but I'm having a hard time thinking of them!
She loves to sing, dance and play on her bed! Mallory is mostly a happy girl! Her favorite movie right now is Tinkerbell! She can literally watch it 5 times in one day if I let her. (Like when she had her tonsils done)
Mallory is doing great with her baby brother! She loves to throw away his diapers, hold his head when he squirms and she loves to tell me that he is crying and she proceeds to try and give him a pacifier. Ha! Love our tiny angel! Here is Mallory swinging next to baby Colt. We have 2 swings and the one she is sitting in is for up to 30 pounds and since she is only 22 pounds, I allowed it! ha!
