Nothing any more precious than a new baby!

Yes Sue they are fraternal. Devon looks like his daddy my son and Daymon takes after Angie's dad. They are almost exact opposites in temperment. Also what one does the other does the exact opposite more often than not! Daymon is always wanting to hug everyone Devon included and Devon wants no part of hugs!!! He gets real disgusted with Daymon wanting to hug him! LOL Devon is more outgoing and likes to be the boss and Daymon is very shy until he gets comfortable with the situation.
They have times of sibling rivalry and other times when they see themselves as one unit.

It will be interesting to see what personality Colton has!

Congratulations Rhonda! I love how Devon has taken to his little brother already.

Mariah Carey is the first one to sing tonight at the Christmas in Washington Special. She is going to have twins & the Obamas are the first ones her & her husband told about it. I know you're not going to get much TV time anytime soon with the new baby around & the twins.

Tell Little Glen it's OK to bring a couple of buckets of KFC or several bags of McD's when he comes at night. No one has time to cook when there's a new baby around. Just enjoy all the good times.

Yes Sheila Devon is on the right. Devon has dark hair like Glen and Daymon has reddish blonde hair. It used to be more red when he was little but he didn't have much hair as a baby. now he is more blonde.

Glen is going to be gone on a job site so I think Angie is going to come down and stay with her mom for a few days. He is an electrician and goes whereever the present job site is. When it is far from home they either stay at a hotel or stay with family if they have any. He is planning on staying with my mom a couple of nights so it would cut off 2 hrs of driving time per trip. They live 2 hours north of us and he will be working an hour south of us.

It is good that she had him now while the boys are out of school for the Christmas holiday.

Rhonda 12-18-2010 08:45 AM

Thank you everyone! He is a little love. He looked up at me and studied my face just taking it all in! LOL He has alot to absorb!LOL

nwm50 12-18-2010 11:20 AM

Oh he is adorable! Look at that headful of hair! Glad all went well for your daughter, at least baby gets to see Christmas with family!

Margie 12-18-2010 04:44 PM

God bless him! Congrats.

granma1 12-18-2010 04:52 PM

Beautiful , beautiful family . GOD bless and Merry Christmas

quiltbugs 12-18-2010 04:53 PM

What a pretty baby, and what is with all these babies with these beautiful heads full of hair!!!? Gorgeous!

Sheila Elaine 12-18-2010 05:02 PM

Rhonda, Daddy Glen would do an about-face if he found out Angie was pregnant with another child, boy, girl or twins again. Will they bring Adrianna to stay with you'll some time during the Christmas Vacation, when the other Grands are out of school? She's so precious, as are all your Grands. You'll have truly been Blessed.

Ken & Kim got fooled when she had the sonogram before Chris was born. They were told he would be a girl, so the folks where she worked gave her all the pink outfits & things, she'd bought some things & she had a family baby shower where she got more pink things. I was staying with Eden, when Ken's Dad called and told me, they've got a Boy! Eden got real upset because she wanted a sister & she wanted them to take him back to the hospital when he'd been home about 3 hours. She was 3 yrs old, & she still doesn't like having a brother at her ripe old age of 18. She says she doesn't want kids, but Chris wants 7 or 8. Kids can be so different. All the pink items had to go back to be exchanged & nursery walls had to be done in blue.

Enjoy all the togetherness & have a wonderful Christmas. You won't get much sleep, but you'll make it. TTUL. {{{HUGS}}} to all............

You're sooo right Ditter!! I love getting my grands on the weekends but I am also so glad to send them home again!! LOL They do tire me out!! It isn't really the getting up and down to take care of their needs but the constant Grandma look at this Grandma can I .... But I really wouldn't have it any other way! LOL Tho I did tell the twins this morning -- you know you really don't have to say Grandma every time you talk to me!! LOL I dont' mind doing what needs doing but the constant Grandma refrain is a bit annoying sometimes!!! LOL Makes me think of my son Glen when he was little and he used to say mom mom mom mom mom mom mom and wouldn't really listen so he wouldn't hear me when I did answer him!!! Love em to death but sometimes these things wear on my nerves ya know? :mrgreen:

Congratulations!! It is so exciting to hold that little one in your arms for the first time!! I didn't get to enjoy the first 3's infancy as they came into the family by marriage but I remember each one of the rest including my great granddaughter Adrianna who we went to see in the hosp when she was born.

There is nothing any better than a new born babe!!

ORSunshineQuilter 12-18-2010 09:00 PM

He was due on my dad's birthday Dec 31 so he was 2 wks early.

Devon fell in love with the baby! He wanted to hold him all the time and wasn't too happy at having to give him up from time to time! He sat on the bed with Mom and held him for most of the time we were there. About 3 hrs all totalled. LOL

The twins call their dad Daddy Glen cause their dad is named after his dad. So there is Papa Glen and Daddy Glen. They figured out really early on how to keep the two Glens apart!

What a beautiful family, the baby is just adorable, my third son had hair like his when he was born. The Twins look so proud of their new brother! Congratulations!!! :XD: :thumbup:

omak 12-19-2010 02:37 PM

What a blessing your family has received, Merry Christmas...

grammysharon 12-20-2010 08:37 PM

What a darling baby! Congrats to you and your family!

Rhonda 12-20-2010 08:42 PM

Thank you all! Angie got to go home with baby Colton today. So they are settled in now at home. The twins are with me for a couple more days as Daymon has a cold and we want to let Angie have a few more days. They are going home Wed evening. I am sure they have no concept of what a house with a baby in it will be like! LOL They are 7 so I am sure they will be a big help to mom!

Mousie 12-21-2010 03:53 PM

wow! what a cutie and I can see how much he looks like you and Glen, Rhonda!
I love those pudgy baby cheeks! Such sweet pics with big brother looking at him and stroking his little cheek,...aw!
Well, just look at all that has been going on while the mouse has played... :wink:
Congratulations Rhonda! and Merry Christmas and give a little mousie hug for me to the wee one! sweet! :-D

Hi Rhonda, sorry I came across this late (actually Katrine told me! LOL) What a little beauty he is - he has the same shock of dark hair Lily had when she was born! Congratulations to all the family and a big welcome to Colton. Merry Christmas to you and all your clan. xxx

Thanks K!! I get to see him again tomarrow! Angie is coming to get the twins and to let Papa see Colton. He hasn't gotten to see him yet.
I am looking forward to having him to stay with his big brothers when he gets a bit bigger. I don't think I am up to getting up several times in the night! LOL

k3n 12-22-2010 08:50 AM

Oh no, wait til he sleeps right through! That's Granma's privilege - that and not having to change the stinkers! LOL

Papa Glen usually gets up with the kids in the night so he usually lets me sleep. He did that with our kids and now the grands. with Zach tho it usually took me to get him to stay in bed.
So I am just really waiting for Angie to feel comfortable with letting him stay. I remember using storage bins for the twins for bassinets! LOL It worked well til they started rolling and then we had to switch to pack n play beds. They are small playpen size portable beds. I do have a pack n play now so will use it for Colton I imagine.

Can't hardly believe they are 7 now!

Looks like they're sleeping in your stash! :mrgreen: :lol:

Katrine 12-22-2010 10:09 AM

Those pictures are priceless Rhonda - especially the first one! And which one is pulling the other's ear in the second - almost like he's saying "now listen to me...."

Yes and he hasn't quit talking and bossing his brother since! LOL Devon is the dark haired one and he is the dominant twin. He is the one who knows everything and has to tell everyone how it should be! LOL Daymon has just started to fight back and stand up for himself more.
It was funny when they are crawling Daymon would push Devon out of his way to get a toy and Devon would let him. One morning Angie called me and said there had been a full moon or something because they got up and their personalities were switched! LOL Devon was the one doing the pushing and Daymon was letting him! LOL

It will be interesting to see what kind of personality Colton has. My son is very laid back and Angie is somewhat too tho she has more of a temper than Glen does. I hope Colton is an easy baby for her.
