Family & Firsts

Colton is almost two weeks old! Since being home from the hospital, he has had more visitors- he's now met a lot of his family on both the Wake and Nicklaus sides. He's also experienced a few "firsts". 

We are still settling into life with a newborn. As expected, this includes a lot of feeding times and very little sleep! When we left the hospital, Colton had a little bit of jaundice. However, he's been eating a lot and he seems much better and healthier. He also seems to be gaining some weight back, so we are hoping that he is healed of his jaundice. 

Below are a ton of pictures from his first weeks at home, including meeting all of his aunts and uncles, as well as experiencing some (very random) "firsts"! 

One of Colton's first days home from the hospital. He already looks so different!

Aunts and Uncles

Colton got to spend a lot of time with Aunt Emily (my sister) as she visited for a night.

 

He also got to meet Uncle Dyson (my brother) and soon-to-be Aunt Hannah (Dyson's fiance):

The Nicklaus siblings also visited. Colton got to meet Aunt Laura and Uncle Ken (Brian's sister and brother-in-law): 

Colton and Aunt Megan (Brian's sister): 

Colton also gets to spend time with his Grandma and Grandma Nicklaus this week! I don't have any pictures of that yet, so more to come. :) 

Firsts

First stroller ride

 First time attempting to play with a ball. ...He hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. :) 

First time trying out his crib. He isn't actually sleeping in his crib, but we wanted him to experience it a little bit! 

First time being a teeny tiny bed hog. Again, he doesn't actually sleep there, but just look how cute he is:

First time watching the Colts. (Despite my family being from Indiana and being fans of the Colts, there is no affiliation between the football team and his name. Just for the record. :) Since Brian is from St. Louis, he is a Rams fan. And although I like the Colts out of loyalty to my family, I am a Packers fan.)
