The other night, Mommy and Daddy sat us down and gave us some news.
They told us that the baby was coming out of Mommy's tummy.
The next morning, Mommy and Daddy went to the hospital.
And out popped Colter Redding, weighing in at 9 lbs, 14 oz!
Dr. Nanda said it was the biggest baby to come out of such a small person!
Leighton and I couldn't wait to meet him!
And Lei just giggled every time she was near him.
Later he had his first bath.
Then we realized that babies sure do sleep a lot.
And a lot!
Lei quickly realized that she was an "older" sister, not necessarily a "big" sister!
And then she decided she wanted a baby of her own!
We spent so much time at the hospital, the we just had to try out the bed!
It was a while before Mommy felt well enough to hold that big boy.
And then of course he fell asleep!
"Let me just tell you people, that there is a lot more room outside than there is inside..."
"And I'm loving it!"
"My future's so bright, I've got to wear shades!"
Finally, it was time to come home from the hospital.
"Woo hoo, let's go home!"
When baby Colter got home, the welcome party was waiting for him.
Mommy, can we keep him!
