4 months old!

So I have been complaining that my back has been hurting lately. I knew Colton was getting heavy and in his car seat he was almost 45 lbs. Well Colton went to the Pediatrician today and he is in the 95% for weight. Weighing in at 17lbs 13oz. I sure do love my chunky monkey. He is 25 inches long and he got an A+ for development on his physical exam!

Way to go Colt!

Christmas 2010

Colton got to experience our Christmas Extravaganza this year, and if you ask me he loved it!

We loaded up and headed to my mom's house on the 23rd. We celebrated Christmas with her and Bill on Christmas eve morning. We attempted church at 5:30 and that lasted about 30 minutes. It was Colton's nap time and he was not wanting to be held so Chaz and I headed north.
We went by the Dupre's house ( Jess's boyfriend's parents) to say hello to them. They have an annual Christmas eve celebration with friends and family, it was a good time.
On Christmas morning we opened gifts at home, then loaded up and headed to my Dad's to celebrate with the fam and all of my step moms family.
We ate at ton of great food and we all got lots of cool new things and Colton got a bunch of new toys.
 I love Christmas time, happy birthday Jesus!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and remembered the reason for the season. Have a safe and happy New Year.

Santa!

Last December when I was only a few weeks pregnant I was out and about shopping and ran across Santa outfits for boys and girls. Not knowing what we were having I bought one of each. On Thursday I got geared up and took Colton to see Santa. Thankfully my boy is well fed because the outfit was 6-9 month. I couldn't look at Colton with out laughing at him while he was dressed at Santa, he was a big hit at the mall too!

Here are a few pictures of Colton as Santa and with Santa. 

Colton's normal!

It's so good to be home and to have Colton back on his routine. Chaz, Colton and I went Orlando to visit Chaz's family for Thanksgiving. It was great seeing everyone and everyone got to meet Colton. We got home on Monday and on Wednesday we flew out to Vegas for a Ford trip Chaz won. Colton was a champ on all of the plane rides, he did so great.

Colton and I went to a Gastro- Intestinal doctor this morning to see what we could do about the excessive amount of throw up Colton has. My Pediatrician recommended him and come to find out he is perfectly fine! I had a feeling that he was but a few were convinced there was something wrong. Thankfully he is fine he just has a strong stomach and likes to puke! It should get better with time and should stop altogether in 8 months, so bare with him and I apologize in advance if he pukes on you the next time you hold him!

On a positive note he is gaining weight, he weighed in at 16.9 lbs this morning!

A few weeks ago we went to the Arboretum and took some pictures for our Christmas cards, here are a few of my favorites!

Enjoy

I am so Thankful!

In honor of Thanksgiving I thought I would share a few things I am thankful for!

1. For my beautiful, healthy and happy baby boy.
2. My wonderful husband who makes me laugh everyday and who works his booty off to provide for Colton and I
3. All of my wonderful parents, siblings and friends who are all so helpful with Colton
4. Caffeine
5. Being 90% done with my Christmas shopping
6. YOU!

Colton was 3 months old yesterday. I found these awesome stickers that you peel off and can put on a onesie, I love them. Here a couple of pictures from yesterday.

Thumb sucker!

Colton loves his pacifier, in fact I never leave home with out at least one. He uses the soothie pacifiers and I found some that have stuffed animals attached to them, he has a frog, bear, duck, puppy... they are called wubbanubs!  They are great because he learned how to hold on to the animal and I could tuck the animal into his car seat or prop it up under neath a blanket. Colton has always been very fond of his hands, he hated to have them swaddled and every time you look they are in little fists up by his face. Recently he has been trying to suck on his hand when a pacifier wasn't around and that helped to soothe him. A few days ago I saw him sucking his thumb, I am partial but I think it is so adorable. The last few nights he has been sleeping upstairs in his crib, i have a video monitor and have watched his pacifier fall out and in goes the thumb! I love it, it has saved me a ton of trips up the stairs.
