Ok- I am still trying to figure out this blogging thing. Vonda taught me how to post pictures, but I am not sure if it worked. If not, I will try again.
Colter Clynn Christensen was born on Dec. 5, 2007. It is hard to believe that he is already 7 weeks old. Where does the time go? I know that it goes too fast. He weighed 8lbs 9ozs and was 22 inches long. He was born at Mercy Gilbert Hospital. I had the best delivery nurse. Cannon, my Mom & Dad and Cannon's Mom were all in the room for the delivery. It was rather quick for which I am so grateful. In fact it was so quick, that he was really purple for the first few days. I am not a big fan of the color purple and I was in a purple delivery room and then they handed me a purple baby. Not too sure about that. All his bruising went away after a couple of days and his coloring got back to normal. It was nice to get Colter here safe and sound.
It took us alittle over a day to get him named. Cannon really wanted the name Jake and I really wanted Gage. I kept thinking since I carried and delivered the little guy that Cannon would give in, but neither him or I were budging. I finally mentioned the name Colter which I had thought of once during the pregnancy. (I actually heard a Coulter Cadillac commercial and thought that could be a cool name.) We decided to let our 4 boys vote on which name they like best. We put them in the hospital closet and brought them our 1 at a time to vote whispering in our ear, so they could not hear each other. They all voted for Colter even Bryson. We could not believe it since none of them had heard his name before. So, we knew that was to be his name. We feel so blessed to have him in our home. We all love him so much and are grateful for him (even with the sleepless nights).

Beautiful! That is another adorable little Christensen boy. Whats his nickname? I vote for EARL. Keep up that picture posting.
BTW - Loved his birth announcement!
EARL . . . I like that!
I didn't know that's how you came up with his name! I love it! Maybe we'll have to do it with our last baby.
He's such a handsome baby boy.
I hope I get another chance to raise a little boy :)
hi! just did a search on "colter", and your blog came up. what a cute baby. we also have a 17 month old son named colter lee. we get so many funny comments on his name, but we love it too. we only knew of one other person with the name - a nephew of a friend out in wyoming. so we assumed it was a made-up cowboy name, but we liked it all the same. best of luck to you with your little guy - nice to know there's another cole out there!
