August 6th was an important day in our family. Jason Allen Colloton joined our family just before the day changed. He arrived amidst great excitement and wonder. Well, wonder on the part of our kids because they were off to bed while Mommy and Daddy went off to the hospital. But they were super excited to know that they were going to get up in the morning to see their little brother.
And speaking of "little" brother, he was actually a pretty big guy. Our biggest yet at 8 lbs 12 oz! He's been very alert and already tries to keep his head up. He wants to see whatever's going on around him. And I think he loves being held by all the helpers we have around here.
Kelsey's been the biggest help. She's wanted to put him in his swing, put him down for a nap, burp him, get him for Mommy, etc. She even gets a little sad when told "No, you can't hold Baby Jason right now." But she's super excited about helping out with the baby.
Bekah and Jack want to be helpers too but need a bit more supervision than their sister. It's fun to see them try to be grown up around Jason. And Jason's been a good sport as he's been passed from arm to arm. Such a good little brother already.
Mom's doing fine considering it's the second c-section. Maybe in a couple of weeks she'll be back to feeling more normal. For now, the kids and Daddy are taking excellent care of her so she can rest. The only thing she wishes is when they all make her laugh that her tummy wouldn't hurt so much from the bruising. She needs the laughter...not the aches. So, send some smiles our way, 'cause we're thinking of you too.
