The swing taste good too!


Someday soon I'm gonna let go and take off. Then mommy and daddy will never get to sit down!

Dr. Update

We went to the Dr. Wednesday for his shots. Everything was fine there. Thursday we went to the surgeon. He finally said we could stop doing the dilation's. He thought he looked great and was happy with his progress. He wants to see us in a couple of months but I think I'll wait till we're out in June. He just wants to make sure he's still "pooping' good after eating solid foods. He is up to eating 2 jars a day. He has had peas, green beans, carrots and butter corn squash. So far, the squash is his favorite. His tooth is poking through, he's crawling and pulling himself up. I know he's just gonna take off any day now. I just can't believe he can stand up. He tries to climb up the couch or chair. He's not quite strong enough for that yet but I'm sure he will be soon. I think it's time to baby proof our house!

More pictures and standing proof

Colt is definately a dog lover. He is so facinated by any dog that we're around. This is Roxie, my brother and sister - in-laws dog.



This is how we give Colt a bath. Either me or Jared will just put him in the shower with us. He loves it and it's so much easier



This is a very common expression

He will stand up every time i put him down in front of the laundry basket. Such a big boy!

6 Month pictures

We finally took Colt to get his pictures taken. It was so much fun and we got such good results. He did so good and smiled so much. We had a few more outfits but we realized we squeezed as many smiles out of him as we could get. He is such a big boy. I haven't posted in a while. Life has just been so busy! He is sitting up so good and so close to crawling. He can get up on all fours. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he figures out how to move. He also did something very exciting the other night. I sat him down on the floor in front of me. There was a laundry basket in front of him. He grabbed it with two hands and started chewing on it. Then i could tell he was trying to pull himself up but I thought... there's no way he can do that yet. He's only 6 months old. But, to my surprise, he did it. He pulled himself up like a big boy! He stood up for like a minutes on his own. I was so proud of him (if you didn't notice already). So I'm sure we'll start preparing the house for crawling soon. As for now, I'm going to enjoy my Spring Break. We have 3 Dr. appts and two rooms to paint. Wish us luck!

Well we've had a busy week. Jared started us off being sick. Then Colt had an ear infection and then I had some kind of bug that gave me a fever. But we're all feeling better now. We went to a birthday party today for twin girls that just turned a year old. It was fun watching them interact. Colt is rolling all over the place. I can set him down in one place and he'll end up across the room cause he keeps rolling or scooting. It's so fun to watch how he does something different everyday. I'm sure he'll be crawling before I know it. Sleeping with daddy Happy boy I don't like to wear party hats... I like to eat them Uh Oh mama caught me! Grammy and Grandad loving on me

First Ear Infection

So I took Colt to the Dr. yesterday. He has been congested for about a week now. Last week he had some diarrhea and loss of appetite (and that's a big deal for him). But I thought maybe he was just teething. But yesterday his babysitter called me at work to tell me he was running a fever so i decided to take him just to be safe. When we got there I felt like a paranoid mom because he didn't have a fever. The Dr. looked at him and said he looked like he was feeling okay and he didn't have a fever. But then he looked in his ear and sure enough that's what it was. So he's on antibiotic for 10 days. He also gave me a medicine for his congestion. So last night he slept all night. He hasn't been really fussy... just a little more than usual. So hopefully tonight he'll sleep all night again. That would be amazing! Still no teeth though. We'll see if any pop up soon, but for now he's still toothless!

Things are going good. The dog is just like another child. But he's sweet and fun to have around. Colt is doing good. He's growing and doing something different everyday it seems. For Valentines day my parents watched Colt so Jared and i could go out to dinner. We had a great time at Edohana. My mom had a great time with him. He rolled over but she turned her head and didn't see it. So nobody has actually seen him roll over yet. He won't do it while i'm watching! Oh well, I know he will eventually. His 6 month appt is coming up. Almost half a year! I can't believe it! Well here's a few pictures

When I walked away the burp rag was beside him. This is where it was when I came back! He likes to cover his head with things and play hide-and-seek
