Our new addition...Walter

Welcome!

I am starting this a little after the fact since our little Walter is growing like a weed and is almost three months old now (on the 11th).  Since we have quite an extended family, this will be a great place to keep everyone informed on how he is doing and how darn cute he is!

To start, Walter David Burns was born at Avista Adventist Hospital in Louisville, CO, on December 11, 2013 at 11:43am.  He was 6lbs 6oz; 20 3/4 inches long. 

Colby, Julie(my mom), and I arrived to the hospital at 6:30am after contractions began at 4am.  Anesthesia had the epidural in by 8:30 and Walter joined the world after two practice pushes and one real one for the Dr. to catch him before lunch.

During the first week Walter was an eating and sleeping machine.  He slept most of the time and would wake up to eat and fall right back to sleep.  We were blessed to have Grandma Julie in town from Florida before he was born and for a few days after he came home.  Maureen and Peter live in Denver so they make it up to visit when they are free. 

Colby and I certainly had a lot to learn once Walter came along but we have enjoyed every minute!

So long for now, more pictures and updates to come.  Thanks!
