Fun with my babies...a trip to the Jetty!

 I am trying to get Lily Belle into all of her cute outfits before she grows out of them!  This is one of the ones that I had to make sure she wore one more time!  I was trying to get her to smile, but she wasn't having it!!  Someone's got a case of the Saturdays!!

 I think she is done with the picture taking!!

 Today was more of the same!  Lily Belle's Aunt Jan got her this dress and it is just so fun!  The old ladies at church always ask me where I find her clothes!  It's a good thing I have family members that have great taste!!

 Still no smiles from her!

 This kiddo had enough smiles for the both of them!

 Ummmm...not so much here...

 BAM!  Thanks Caleb for helping me out!!!

We decided to drive down to Surfside and take a walk out on the jetty!  Adam has been there a couple of times and said that there were dolphins...and yes, there were!

 There are also tons of fisherman out on the jetty and they don't love the dolphins...but we had so much fun spotting them!  There was a pod just right in front of us!  Caleb was going crazy!

I didn't get any pics of them jumping, but they were doing that too!  I seriously wish I would've brought  a camp chair to sit in...I could've sat and watched all day!  It was also a beautiful day here in Texas...you can't complain with these winters!  PERFECT!

Just a little pose before heading back!!

I'm going to try and do more videos!  This one is of our little bird!  She just squawks and squawks ALL of the time!  I have been meaning to try to tape her and finally got a good one!  She just loves to talk! (I think she learns it from her brother)!!  Enjoy!

Playing Ketchup!!

 WOW!!  Has blogger changed since the last time I have been on to blog or what?!?  They have just made things so much easier, I think it's time to get back to business!  I have been posting a lot of pics to Facebook over the last few months, but need to start telling some more stories!  Plus my mom mentioned she's tired of seeing my prego belly picture...ZING!  I thought I would just post some of my favorite pics of the kiddos since Lily Belle has been born!  Both Caleb and Lily have grown so much...I am such a proud momma!!

 Life continues on a usual here in the Colson home!  Caleb finds a way to make me laugh EVERYDAY, and my sweet Lily Belle has been the happiest and BEST baby EVER!  She is so laid back and easy going!  Her and Caleb are such opposites!  Adam is working hard at DOW Chemical and I am really enjoying being able to stay at home!  What a blessing!

 Caleb just ADORES his baby sister!  He has been the best big brother!  He loves to make Lily laugh and Lily just watches Caleb wherever he goes!  I have a feeling that as soon as Lily decides to move (there hasn't been a lot of that going on and we're 5 months now!) Caleb will most definitely have a shadow to deal with!

 My baby girl is not so small (hence the not rolling over yet...just too much weight to work with!)  We are already in 9-12 month size clothes and she just keeps growing!  I haven't even started cereals with her yet...this baby loves to nurse (every 3-4 hours that is!)

I will make sure that I start posting more often (New Years Resolution!)  I actually haven't even been checking the blog I have felt so guilty!  This post was painless, so there will definitely be more!!  ENJOY!

Introducing...Lily Belle Colson

As you can tell, we have added a new addition to our family!  We were so excited/nervous!  Of course the day couldn't start without us being LATE!  We had to drive from Lake Jackson to Katy to drop Caleb off at our babysitter's house...then we had to drive to Memorial City (on the way to Houston).  Of course that was the day that there was a HUGE wreck at the exit we needed to take to get to the hospital, which made us 45 minutes late to the hospital!  I wasn't scheduled until 10:30 and they wanted me there at 8:30, so we were okay!  I had Lily by C-Section, and everything went GREAT!  I have recovered pretty quickly and feel great!  Lily has been such a good baby!  She is eating well and growing fast!  Yes, we will probably go broke with all of girls clothes that we are buying, but don't worry, Caleb is getting just as much!  He has transitioned well to his new sister, and we are definitely making sure that we are spreading the love to both kiddos!  Enjoy these photos from Lily Belle's first 4 weeks!

The nurse wheeled me by the nursery to see Lily...as we moved to my room, I saw another baby and commented that the baby was small.  The nurse told me no, that baby was average...my baby was BIG!

Recovery Time!!

Caleb meeting his sister for the first time!!

My good friend Inger here for a visit!

Already a little snuggle bug!

Our maid, cook, chauffeur, hair dresses etc. for 2 weeks!!  THANKS GMA for taking such good care of us!  

Getting ready to leave the hospital!  The nurses were taking FOREVER...I was so ready to get out of there!!!

Lily had to go back to the Pediatrician's office the day after we got back from the hospital.  The doctor was worried that she had lost too much weight, but hadn't lost any from the day before!  Yay!!  

My sweet girl!!!

Caleb holding Lily for the first time...I think it was LOVE at first sight!

He's definitely a BIG brother!
