It's all about perspective - she suddenly has seemed to have grown, because we are now getting accustomed to tiny little newborn feet, hands, and what seems like negative weight in our arms.
On February 19, 2011 at 7ish pm, we welcomed our sweet baby boy Cole Darby Hughes into the world. He weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long.
Calla has been the primary subject of this blog for 21 months, and now it's time for her to share the throne! She is now a Big Sister.
When she first met Cole, she looked at him with curiosity...
After a few minutes, she said, "Bye Bye, baby brother." Since then, her affection toward him has grown.
Despite Calla's double ear infection and having had to endure separation from Mommy and Daddy for a couple of nights, she adjusted to her new baby brother pretty quickly. She initially called him "Baby Coke," but now says "Cole" quite well. She has tried to smush his face, give him chips, and shove the pacifier into his mouth. She gives him lots of kisses and loves to play with his toys.
I have more to say about the last couple of weeks, but for now, enjoy some pictures of our sweet little guy.

I am so glad Aunt Edith found your blog on Face Book. We will be glad to read your up-dates.
We enjoy all the family information. Thank you and know we are blessed and praying for you. Uncle Paul
I am back home in Calif. & back into the swing of things. My modem was "busted" (as the cable tech said), so Granddad stopped & picked up a newer & better one. Now I can look at your blog with Cody & tell him how sweet & beautiful & precious our baby Cole is. He is definitely a #10!! I "see" him in my arms & get tears just remembering holding him & feeling his soft face & kissing him. Don't forget to tell him that Grammy loves him every day. Of course, please remind Calla also that Grammy says, "I love you sweet girl."
Congratulations! When I had Ryan, children under 16 weren't allowed to visit (because of the swine flu outbreak). When I saw Samantha again after being in the hospital for a few days, the first thing I said was, "You're huge!". It's all about perspective. Soon enough Cole will be bigger than Calla.
Calla is such a little lady! I think she is looking more like Karyn. And what a cutie Cole is! Great pics with his eyes open.
