Newborn: Colin Robert: 19 days

I’m so happy to introduce another sweet newborn on my blog! You may recall Kristen and Nick’s maternity session from a few months ago. (And feel free to take a peek at images from their rehearsal dinner and wedding as well.) These new, proud parents and their family have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this adorable baby boy…so please allow me to officially introduce Colin Robert! (If you missed Colin’s Sneak Peek, click here!) I also asked Colin’s parents some questions about how their lives have changed since his arrival.

Arrival: February 3, 2010, 12:17pm, 7 pounds 14 ounces…
and 21.5 inches!

Nick + Kristen: The unexpected pure joy of becoming a family and realizing that our son was just born!

Colin was wide-awake and curious as to what was going on
for the first half of his session. Look at those eyes!

Nick + Kristen: Colin’s first ‘cold-air’ pee! Watch out!

Nick + Kristen: The sleeplessness is temporary, the joy of being a parent lasts forever.

Nick + Kristen: Colin resembles Colin. He is his own little person. He does have his dad’s long, lanky arms and legs. And he has his grandpa’s (1) dimple. Whether he has his mom’s red hair is yet to be determined!

Nick + Kristen: Exciting. Fun. Overwhelming. Knowing that we get to raise our son. And love him. And care for him.

So precious! Another favorite!

Nick + Kristen: There are things in life so much bigger and more important than you ever thought possible.

“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller,
home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”
