Trying to roll over

He loves when you push on his butt or shake his legs when he's lying down.

He is getting really good at holding his head up while lying down.

Everytime she lifted his hands up he opened his mouth. It was soo cute.

Colin up to 3 months

Colin at 3 months

These next pictures are of Colin between coming home and now at 3 months. He is now 12 lbs 9 oz and 23 inches long. Now he smiles both when you smile at him and whenever he sees something that makes him smile. He also started laughing a few days ago when he sees us laugh. It's awesome now to see him do those things on purpose instead of just when he happens to do it but isn't sure what it is. He wants to sit up soo bad and loves for us to keep him proped up almost all the time. He found his feet a lil while back and loves to hold them all the time. We have gotten him to start holding onto stuff like his rattles to shake it about a month or so ago. Every day he suprises us and makes us laugh. Colin had an ear infection and a cold about a week ago, but his meds have seemed to help him alot and he is back to his normal playful happy self.

Colin's Room

Colin's Room

Me and Phillip painted the room in stars and clouds to match the bedding we got for him. Jason and Ashleigh helped us with the fan and the letters. They got us the letters and the gift card we used for the paint for our babyshower in Kings Mountain. It took a lil while to paint the stars and Phillip did the clouds by himself because I was affraid to mess them up. Overall I think it turned out pretty good since neither of us is really artistic.

Baby showers for Colin

We had three baby showers. One in Kings Mountain, then one in Blacksburg, and then we had one in Florida after Colin got here near the 4th of July. Thanks to everyone for everything, it was all great and thanks to all our friends and family we had pretty much everything we needed to get him through for a while.

Colin in the Hospital

Kind of out of order

Ok the next post is going to be a little out of order but I just now got the pictures loaded up. These next pictures are going to be from Colin's first week. They are going to be him in the hospital with all the family and then at home when me, Phillip, and Nana the first week and a half. All of the pictures I post on here can be clicked on and they will take you to my photobucket account where you can see them better if you would like.

Florida part 2

We went to Florida for the fourth of July. While we were there Colin got to meet almost all of the family. We took him to Silver Springs, which is sort of like a zoo and a park in one. It was really great. We also took him down to the beach near Ponce Inlet on the way to the lighthouse. He got to go all the way to the top of the lighthouse with his dad, Nana and Grandpa Shawn. Michele and Jim went with us to the lighthouse too. He really liked Michele. Nana carried him all the way to the top while I stayed at the bottom because once I started walking up I didnt feel good and decided it would be better to stay at the bottom. He did really good and seemed to be happy the whole time.

Intro to Colin

So this is for those who want to keep up with Colin but don't have myspace. So far I have been keeping pictures up to date on there but some people don't have accounts there and its easier just posting them here too instead of having to send emails out with pictures to everyone whenever they want new ones. So I will try to keep this as up to date as possible.

Colin James King was born May 28, 2008 at 12:05 AM in Charlotte, NC. He was 7 pounds 15 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. And had brown hair. We went to the hospital at 3:00 PM on the 27th and did a little bit of just waiting around for a few hours before he was ready. Then after pushing for 3 hours we had to do a c-section and when he was born he had a very bad headache for the first day or so from the pushing. He was born a day before his due date.
