Change

I guess now-a-days you could track a person's life stages just by the topics they google. Our most recently googled topics: Diaper rash, sleeping through the night, letting baby cry themselves to sleep, cleaning services. Big change from "best happy hours" and "what to do with all my free time". CHANGE. This word has taking on a whole new meaning lately. Everything changes when you're responsible for a brand new person: Priorities, perspectives, daily routines. Leaving the house now is like deploying for a military mission. "Diapers...Check. Burp cloth... Check. Extra clothes and pacifier... Check and check. Prepare to leave in 1 hour." I'm waiting for the day both of us are in the car and realize Colden is still in the house. Speaking of change, there should be a rule on the amount of time you must wear a diaper before you can defile it. It's not uncommon for a diaper to be on for less than five minutes... then BAM! Turd Part Deux: Revenge of the Breast Milk. I don't know if dropping a load in your pants is more satisfying when you have a brand new diaper on, but I'm coming to the conclusion that it is. Change is inevitable and Colden is definitely worth the change in my life. Things may take longer to do and somethings don't get done as often, but I am a father now and that will never change.

First Father's Day

Well as you can see this blog is pretty much a shrine to my first born son. I will try to post new pictures and updates every week. This Father's Day was a very special one for me, it being my first as a father and all. It still amazes me that I could help make something so perfect as Colden. I'm so proud of his every accomplishment be it raising his head, smiling at someone, rolling over or just taking a big dump. He has an array of expressions that can do everything from make you laugh to break your heart. I feel really blessed to be a part of his life and I'm taking every opportunity to enjoy it.
He is seven weeks old now and has grown so much since we first brought him home. He hasn't gained full control of his head yet, but he is managing to hold it up and look around before slamming it into Krissi's or my face. Krissi is doing great and has taken to motherhood very well. I am so proud of her. There is a special bond between them that I know will never go away.
He is sleeping and eating well. He has his moments where it seems nothing can console him... then he farts and all is right again. He loves his baths. (Especially the part where he becomes a human water fountain and baptizes innocent bystanders.) The dogs have taken to him nicely. Maci (our oldest boxer) is quite protective of him and will stand guard next to whomever is holding him.
Like I said earlier I'll use this blog to brag, fill everyone in on happenings and sometimes give funny anecdotes.

Till next time -
Chris

Some Fun Pictures

Got a new camera... what should I do?

Rice wins in close Game 1, Colden not able to watch

During the last inning with Texas A&M trailing Rice University in the College World Series Super Regionals, 7 to 9, Colden Samuel Price, Texas A&M Class of 2029, could not bear to watch the intensity. In an attempt to rally the Ags to a win, Colden removed his Texas Aggie shirt and threw it on the floor, but continued to avert his eyes from the television.


Colden was able to muster the courage to watch the last Aggie batter take the plate, but unfortunatlely the game ended on a pop fly that landed in the glove of a Rice Owl outfielder.

Colden was inconsolable after the loss.


Despite the loss, Colden Price was relieved to find out that the game was only game 1 of a best of 3 series.

Colden discovers other hand

After days of staring at the five digits of his left hand, today Colden made the amazing discovery of his other hand. Even more amazing is that this other hand not only looks similar to his left hand, but also has five little thingies poking out of it. Colden quickly set the discovery behind him as more important matters arose, such as staring and sticking out his tongue.
