School has started and life is busy, busy, busy. Colt adjusted really well to going back to Pat's. In fact, sometimes when I go to pick him up, he wants to get back down and play. He's running around with all the older kids, playing and having fun. When I pick him up, he's usually filthy from playing so hard. But I don't mind at all. He's all boy. He's not afraid of anything. I have to work really hard at not running to his rescue when he falls or bumps his head. As long as I don't react bad, he usually laughs it off. There have been a few instances where I'm holding another baby and he runs to me and holds his arms up. He doesn't cry or whine but when his mama is holding someone else, he wants to be held too. He's such a sweet boy. He's very loving and happy. Jared and I are just having the best time of our life being parents. We can also tell that Colt is very stubborn (huh... wonder where he got that from) and wants to do things his way (again.... wonder who he got that from). He's very sensitive. We spank his hand when he tries to get into something he's not supposed to. He just cries and cries b/c we hurt his feelings. Just yesterday though, he didn't cry, he gave me a dirty look and pushed my hand away! I couldn't believe he could do that. But I made him mad and he wanted me to know it I guess. I can foresee some spankings and lots of grounding in his future! But for now, we love every minute watching him grow up. Next week, he'll be 1!!! I can't believe it's been a year!
On another note, school is going great. It's so much better the second year (and it's better not starting out 9 months pregnant!) I actually feel like I half way know what I'm doing most of the time. My kids seem great so far. I have my few that have tested me but nothing I can't handle.
Jared has been very busy at work. His boss purchased a new building so they've been working so much overtime trying to get things moved to the new building. He enjoys his job and and feels blessed for that.
I can't think of much more that has gone on. It's been a while since I've posted to here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.
This is his new little girlfriend. Her name is Journey. I work with her mother. We had free CiCi's night last week so we ate together. She's 17 months old. An older woman!
I walked in Colt's room the other night to check on him and found him sleeping like this. So I had to take a picture. I thought it was hilarious!
Lex and Luke had their bday party at the skating rink. Unfortunately Colt was still a little young. They didn't have skates small enough for him. You can tell in the picture how disappointed he was! We had a good time though. I won't post the pictures of me skating! Scary!!!
A few weeks ago, we went to pick up my parents at the airport and got a flat on the way. So we pulled over to an empty parking lot. I tried to get creative to keep Colt entertained while JAred changed the tire. So we had a little photo shoot. I think they turned out good!
A happy man! Notice Colt has the remote in his hands. He always tries to change the channel
Again... a sleeping position I can't imagine sleeping in. Strange child (he must get that from his daddy!)
