Colby Lynn

We share Hannah's cry for a child when she spoke in 1st Samuel 1:11: "And she vowed a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life." We rejoice as Hannah did in verse 27 by praising God the creator of all things: "For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him."

9 Month Update

The biggest news to share this month is that Colby has 2 bottom teeth poking through and making their way into her mouth. As you can imagine, she is not happy about this. Her mouth is often swollen and she hates to have her face touched. Eating frozen veggie seems to help her and sucking on a bottle or sippy cup.
Stats:
Weight -17.5 lbs 37%
Height- 90%
Cruising everywhere!

7 Month Update

This month has been so exciting! Here's the latest on our sweet blessing.

* Colby pulls herself up to standing every chance she can.

* She crawls and 'elephant walks' everywhere, there is NO containing her.

* Little Miss still has not sprouted any teeth but is eating pureed everything. She loved sweet potatoes and blueberries.

* Colby still has beautiful blue eyes and her hair growing more and more each day. We now have to use conditioner to keep her hair soft.

* 'Mama' was Colby's first word and when asked to say 'Dada' she does it.

* Colby loves her big brother, Tristan and laughs at him everyday, especially in the bath.

* Colby sleeps great at night, but still not too long during the day. Naps are hard for her.

We love her!!!
