Baby Collin

Collin is a week old already! It's about time I post some pictures of him. I'm not sure if anyone is still checking this blog now that I'm keeping in touch with lots of people on Facebook, but this blog will still give me a record of when the kids were hitting milestones, so I'll keep it up. I was never very good at keeping Avery's baby book updated, but I can always go back through the blog postings and find out when she first ate solid foods, took her first steps, or what she was talking like a year ago. If only there was a magic button I could press to get all this information into her baby book! Ah, but I promise to do better with Collin's book! :)

Collin Marcus Horne was born 12/14/2009 at 2:40pm after a fairly easy labor. Our big boy weighed in at 9lbs 1oz, and 21 3/4 inches long! He joined the world crying (which was an immediate relief) but has been such content baby since then. He did give us a scare in the hospital, getting a slight fever about a day after he was born. But he fought through and seems to be in great health now.

Avery is adjusting pretty well so far to being a big sister. She LOVES her baby brother, and hasn't gone 10 minutes without talking about him or giving him kisses. She is also dealing with our divided attention fairly well too. Luckily she is still enrolled in school 3 days a week, so she's got some consistency and she just loves her class.

Here are a couple pictures of our early Christmas gift...
