colt tucker and a birthday.

8 hours in the hospital waiting room // 1 gas station coffee // 4 youtube videos watched // 8 games of solitaire on the ipad // 1 skype date // 1 trip back home // 1 hour of sleep // 8 days younger than baby cousin #joannaclaire // colt, it was such a joy to await your arrival. let the good times roll!

--taken from my IG post from the big day--

on august 1st at 5:35 a.m., colt tucker made me a aunt for the SECOND time. he entered the world weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches long. he had (and still has!) a head full of dark hair and beautiful dark skin.

he's perfect.

happy one month, baby colt!

you are such a joy.  you bring this aunt such happiness. i love when i can hog you and just cuddle with you all day.

you still have some nights that you choose to keep mommy and daddy awake--you are a partier. you stay awake most of the time and just look around. you especially like lights and ceiling fans. oh yeah, you like to eat--alot. you love riding in the car and hanging out with marme, aunt marli and mommy on their errands.

 all the faces you make are perfect but my favorite is your grumpy face--but really, you're happy.

oh yeah, and your daddy recently found out that a pacey is your best friend--a lifesaver.

you are growing too fast already.

i can't wait to see the strong man of God that you will be.

this aunt is craaaaazzay about you.

cousins--colt and joanna.
