5 1/2 weeks...

Colton is 5 1/2 weeks old! I can't believe my little boy is growing so fast! All is well with our little family. Colton is battling a pretty bad case of thrush in his mouth, but you would never know because the little thing never even let on that he was in pain. He is also still fighting acid reflux. We took him back to the doctor Saturday morning and were given some more things to try to keep him from choking on his formula. They also decided to order a modified barium swallow with a speech therapist at Childrens Hospital which will probably be done some time next week. We are thickening his bottles now with baby cereal and he seems way more satisfied with his food so he is sleeping way longer stretches, something that mommy and daddy really appreciate! He looks bigger, but actually has plateued at around 9 pounds. 9 pounds is a big just from his 6 pound 3 ounce birth weight. He is a little trooper and we are so proud of him. We went this afternoon and got his Easter/One month old pictures taken and they are absolutely adorable. We are a little late on getting the Easter shots done, but better late than never right?!?Things with David and I are great! We are just getting used to the late nights and extra-early mornings. We try our best to work as a team, and I think we are doing a pretty awesome job. We decided to pick back up on the wedding plans, i'm not telling anyone a date until we are absolutely sure since last time it kept getting moved, but it will definitely be a 2009 wedding. We think that now more than ever it is important to seal the deal on this relationship and be the best parents we can be for little Colton and make us a real family! Who knows, maybe 2010 will bring a new addition to our little family...
