7months!

I don't have any stats because we don't go back to the doctor until he is 9 months but I would have to guess, weight- heavy, height-medium, head circumference- looks good to me, appetite- excellent!

Here are some photos I took this afternoon of our boy. The bench he is sitting on in some of the pictures is from Chaz's family ranch. I am so glad we brought that back I love the way it photographs.
Enjoy the pics of Colton.

Colton is starting to look so old! We were on our way to the gym and I had to snap this picture. It was his 1st time wearing his summer flip flops and he was completely fascinated by them! He is such a big hit and the gym, thankfully he enjoys going and the ladies in the kid care section eat him up.

I took this one at the end of the day on St. Patty's. I was taking his shirt off and left it on his head, he had one heck of a time trying to get it off and finally he just gave up and hung out with it on his head. I love his rolls!

My mom was on spring break last week so Colton and I met up with her to go run errands and shop. I was cracking up because every store we would go in to she would find some random hat and put it on him. He was a good sport and found it to be very entertaining.

This is why bath time after dinner is a necessity. Lately every time I feed him his hand has to go in his mouth with his food. He usually decides to rub it all over his face and then towards the end of the meal he wants to feed him self so we play tug of war with the spoon. Good times!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I love the dollar section at Target! I saw this tie there the other day and had to get it for Colton. Here is my little leprechaun celebrating his 1st St. Patty's Day!

I thought these pictures were too cute not to share them. Hope they bring a smile to your face.

6 month check up!

Where did the time go??? I know everyone says that it is going to fly by but I can't believe that 6 months ago today Chaz and I met our baby boy for the first time.
We went to the doctor today for his 6 month check up an to get his shots. He did great and surprisingly didn't cry, i am hoping the shots don't affect him this time around as much as they did at his 4 month check up.   Colton is weighing in at 21lbs.... I was shocked he didn't weigh more because he feels like a load of bricks.

New with Colton:
He can sit up!
He is trying really hard to roll over but can't get past his shoulder.
He loves his exersaucer!
He loves green beans, peas and squash and is finally giving oatmeal a shot.
He smiles and giggles all the time!

We love you Colton!

Chaz had his knee surgery last Friday, thankfully that is past us and he is able to start rehabbing at the end of the week. It ended up being a little worse then they expected once they got in there but they were able to fix him up. Now his biggest challenge is his crutches, he isn't a big fan of them.

We stayed home for Valentines day since Chaz was all banged up and had a nice little dinner just the 3 of us. I made homemade bread pudding, it was soo tasty. Chaz sent me these beautiful flowers, calla lily's were the flowers in my bouquet at our wedding!

Colton is able to sit up if I prop him up, I have to snap the photos fast because it's only a matter of time before he starts to lean and crash! On Valentines Day in his "i love mommy" shirt I was able to capture some adorable pictures of him. He is such a happy boy and in these pictures he seems so proud of him self!

I love this one of him, you can see his dimples! 

Colton has also started screaming just to hear his own voice, he was yelling all over CVS the other day and at the grocery store. He gets a lot of attention from EVERYONE when he does it but I find it hilarious. He screams, then looks around and smiles! This video is of him giggling and screaming, again I find it adorable, I hope it brings a smile to your face!

Have a great weekend!

Super Bowl XLV

Chaz won a contest at the end of 2010 and was rewarded with a 2 night stay downtown and tickets to the Super Bowl! It was my first night away from Colton so I was a little apprehensive but it ended up being a much needed break for both of us and a once in a life time experience. Our seats were great and the game was awesome. We were cheering for the Packers so the game ended in our favor! A big thank you to Gram and Papa ( mom & bill) for staying with Colton!
