Introducing Colby William!!!

Colby William McMullin arrived!
February, 25 2011

7 lbs 12 oz/ 21 inches

Speechless...

Somebody's proud.

He's pretty talented already, look at those pinky toes.

Colby was successful at making some huge cheeks in my tummy.

All dressed up and ready to meet his three best friends that were anxiously waiting at home.

Our coming home tradition was a bit tampered with this time around.
Tanner, Brooklyn and Kaden were all sick. Not part of Mommy's plan at all. The pediatrician at the hospital released Colby with the promise that I'd keep him confined to my master bedroom till sister and brothers were healthy again.

Biggest brother is thrilled to be responsible for another little one.

Kadster was scared to touch Little Bear so Daddy helped.

And he refused to talk when he wore the mask.

Mother hen had been waiting for this moment for over 8 months. Her little heart was broken wearing the mask and only getting one turn but she made the best of it.

Colby's innocence permeates my heart.

He re-opens my eyes to the world of simple survival.

He soaks up the world with each new breath.

His heart no longer beating so near to mine but close to me he will stay forever.
