Jonathan is truly a fabulous father and daddy to Colton! They established an extra special bond early on, since Melissa was bed bound a day or two right after the c-section and Colton was immediately in the NICU on another floor, Jonathan was able to go back and forth between mommy and baby, therefore Jonathan learned all the unique things NICU parents learn before Melissa and I got to. He was right there talking to and touching Colton, reassuring him and letting Colton hear him before we could get Mommy to the NICU. They are the best of buddies to this day and no one can make Colton smile, laugh, and play quite like his daddy can!
Jonathan's beautiful younger sister, Carla is the best Aunt to Colton! She is a teacher by training and she made sure there were books in the NICU in Colton's room right away so his mommy, daddy, and family and friends could start reading to him immediately! It gave us all something tangible we could do while Colton worked hard to stay warm, sleep, eat, and grow! Thank you Carla!
Melissa holding her adorable and happy nephew, Korbin! Korbin and Colton are going to have more fun growing up and playing together! We affectionately refer to this formidable twosome as Co-Ko!
Papa Rand is the proud grandfather of two boys now! God is so good! Bill and I are so thankful for both Randy and Dianne and we praise God for getting to co-grandparent with them!
Again, Bill and I were so impressed with how Melissa planned all this and did all the work and creative touches herself! She had a friend from church do the cake but she and Jonathan made and did everything else! We grandparents helped as they set it all up but she did ALL the creative stuff herself and she works full time too! (Yes, I am bragging but can you blame me? She is amazing!)
The cake was just perfect! It could not have been any more darling! As Woody would say, This party was good enough to make you say, "Yee-haw cowboy!"
Colton seemed delighted with everything and everyone! His party was at 2 pm in the afternoon and that is right about his nap time!
His first time to have a taste of his own birthday cake was a hit! He enjoyed meticulously taking little bites and then he got sleepy!
Was this not the cutest thing ever! As soon as he finished nibbling on his cake, he closed his precious little eyelids and took a nap, right there in his highchair!
Sleeping baby boy! Little cowboy all tuckered out after so much fun being celebrated at his 1 year old birthday party!
Korbin enjoyed getting to come see his cousin Colton as well as so many other people who love him!
Carla and Kason Knight with their new baby boy, Korbin! Carla took these excellent pictures with her good camera! I so appreciate her taking and sharing there photos! Carla is a Baylor graduate and certified teacher and Kason is an A&M graduate where he was an officer in the Corp. These two are so precious and I love getting time with them and Korbin!
Dianne and Randy are such amazing grandparents to these two little boys! Bill and I are very blessed to call them our friends and to get to co-grandparent Colton with them! Dianne is a Baylor graduate and she was a Pi Beta Phi at Baylor just a year or two ahead of Bill and I! We all love attending Baylor games together!
