7 months

Colton is 7 months old!  He is weighing in at 16 lbs. 11 oz. and a whopping 27 inches long!  I can hardly believe my little 5 pound baby has gotten so darn big so fast!  He got his first tooth November 23rd the bottom front left!  It was a miserable few days until it finally cut through.  Then he was happy and now the one next to it is on its way through so we are back to lots of cuddles from momma.  I love the cuddles but I feel so bad when he doesn't feel good and he is so fussy.  He is just becoming such a goofy entertaining baby.  Colton just thinks his daddy is the coolest guy around!  He laughs sooo hard at all his daddy's goofiness!  He mostly loves to stand and shake his little bum it's hilarious!  He is so close to crawling which is super exciting and makes me a little nervous to have him so active!  He can skoot himself backwards and in cirlces and is now getting himself up to his hands and knees!  It's only a matter of time!  Funny thing about his solids, he loves to eat and mostly likes the vegetables more than the fruits and he hates peaches, even a peach cobbler, he just hates peaches its so wierd.  We love you our little angel!  Happy 7 months!

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and it was great! The food was delicious! Tiffany took care of the turkey before anyone else was even awake! Nathan had a great morning playing football with friends. Amanda, well she had a little cold, but she enjoyed the turkey leg! Nathan's parents made it down after their electricity came back on and they could finish those delicious homemade rolls and pies! What a day for the electricity to go out! It was fun for them to be able to enjoy thanksgiving with us. Colton napped through most of dinner but woke up just in time for a pureed thanksgiving dinner (I know sounds yummy right?!) We also had a dry run for his first birthday to see how he would do given free reign of his food, with what else? Green Jello!! He loved it and made quite the mess! We are so thankful to have had such a great year and to have added Colton to our family. It was nice to have family to spend thanksgiving with!

My Little Pumpkin

My baby is 6 months old!  He weighs 15lbs 3oz and is 25 & 3/4 inches long!  He is still in the 10-25% but he is healthy and happy! He is finally sleeping unswaddled and ironically on his tummy.  Just a few weeks ago he would get so mad if he rolled onto his tummy, and now he rolls to his tummy to fall asleep.  He is such a flirt, he has the little half grin thing goin on and he will raise his eyebrows at you and gets this little twinkle in his eye.  Strangers always want to come say hi to him because he is always flirting with people.  It's so funny, but we don't mind!  It is so fun to play with him, he finds everything so interesting, especially balloons!  You can make him laugh at the littlest things, it's so fun to play with him and see what will make him laugh.  Colton loves it when daddy comes home, he will stare at him with such intent and smile until daddy takes him to play!  He has so much energy, he loves to jump, read books, take baths and splash all over, go for walks outside, and exploring the world.  The best thing about him right now, is that he gives little squeezes and kisses!  We love him!
