When a baby holds your finger...

I rock Colton to sleep. This is one of the things that I know 'they' say you should stop at the lastest by their first birthday but I just can't. Not yet. A.J. and I have set a goal of breaking this bad momma habit by his second birthday. Which I know we can do!

After Colton falls asleep I lay him in his crib. And when he falls alseep on my chest instead of in my arms I lay him on his tummy. And as I pull my hand out from under his chest he often grabs ahold of my finger.

And when he does the only thing I can think is - how amazing this little person that A.J. and I were blessed with is.

Colton, A.J., and I have been through a lot and the 3 of us really haven't been together that long. But the amount of time it takes for him to steel your heart is quicker than the blink of an eye, quicker than the flash of a lightening blot, and quicker than you can even imagine!

When a baby holds your finger... they hold your heart. When a baby holds your finger... how do you let go? You don't you wait for them to!

Oh, what is better than the love a great guy?
The love of him and the son you share!

Cotton Watler?

I remembered today that Colton had a few days about this time last year that his name was Cotton. Cotton? Okay so his name has never been Cotton. In the NICU rooms their is a paper taped to the monitor and  it looked as if the "l" in Colton was a "t". So a doctor (or two) thought our little Colton was Cotton.

Then when we got home in February A.J. and I wanted to send out announcement cards. I got online and made them. I had A.J. and my momma bear proof them and ordered them. When we got them I sent some home with momma bear and sent some to work with A.J. The night that I was working on getting them ready to mail I get a picture text from A.J.

 

 I did not see anything so I called him.

Someone had asked him what Colton's middle name was after seeing the announcement posted on a board. I was so upset. How didn't one of the 3 of us see it?

So along with all of Colton Walter's many names
Meatball
Big C
Bubba
Bug
Mr C
and I am sure there are more that I can not think of right now we add
Cotton Watler :o)
