Trip To The Dr. Office

So, yesterday we took Colton to get his 6 month shots, with our move and all I slacked and didn't get him in. He will be 7 months old on Sunday. Anyways, he flirted with the nurses and talked and laughed. He weighed 15 lbs 9 oz and he is 25 inches long. Then they left and we waited forever for the Dr. Finally, Dr. Williams came in and talked with us he said Colton is healthy and a good looking boy. I asked about his weight, because I was a little concerned. He said not to worry about it, he is just a small boy, and maybe small his whole life. He is in the 5% for both his weight and height. So, he checked him all out and said, he's great! Then he told us the nurses would be back in to give him his shots. Well, it was a while, so Colton was sitting on the table with just a diaper on and started playing with the paper on the table and started ripping it, he was laughing so loud, Matt and I were rolling. He just loved it!! Crazy kid, who would have thought, a piece of paper would be so fun. I told Matt, I wish I had brought my camera, and he reminded me that I had my phone, so we took some pictures with the phone, sorry they are a little hard to see.

As far as the shots went, he did wonderful, he only cried for about 2 min. then was done. He is such a funny baby.

Growing Sooo Fast

Colton is sitting on his own now. He hasn't broke any teeth yet, but is really gnawing alot. So, I'm sure it won't be too much longer. He had a fall the other day, while he was holding on to the coffee table and trying to walk as he was holding on, well I went around and down he went. Since we basically have concrete floors, I decided to get out the play pack and let him play in that so when he tipped over or fell, he wouldn't hit concrete. I felt bad, thinking I was putting him in this little jail. Well, he LOVES it! I can't believe it, he will play for an hour in there. We are teaching him to stand up and hang on to the sides and walk around the edges.

MINI ME

I'm So Excited!! Colton LOVES, I mean LOVES his dad. He gets so excited when his dad comes home and loves to watch him as he speaks. He follows him with his head wherever he goes. In the mornings, after I've fed him, he wants to get down and I put him down and hold on to his hands and he walks, almost runs, in a baby way, straight to his dad and just gets so excited. It is really cute. And of course, Matt thinks his son is perfect and adorable, the cutest baby ever! And wouldn't you know it, Colton has the personality of his dad. It's pretty funny!! Colton has this attitude, if he doesn't get what he wants, he throws a fit. And he gets really frusterated if he can't do something or get something. Hmmmmm.......wonder where that came from! Colton is finally out of his 0-3 month pants, his legs grew!! Yay!!! He wears 6-9 month tops almost 9 months, because he is so long and now 3-6 month pants, except the pants keep falling down, he doesn't have a belly to keep them up, just the length. Matt can't wait for Colton to get bigger to do Scouts with him. I guess they have a Scout program that is for little kids, called Tigger Scouts, it's before Cub Scouts. I never knew that. Anyways, Matt is trying to give him a jump start. He is showing Colton the Webelos Scout book while he is getting stuff ready for his camp.

Video Games

Grandad is starting him young!! He loves to sit with Grandad and help him play golf. I prefer when he helps Grandad, I end up winning!! Colton loves his Grandad and gets so excited to see him.

Am I A FISHY? Nope!

So, we went to our niece Rilee's birthday party last Saturday, she turned 3 and we could also swim. We thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce Colton to swimming and the water. Well see for yourself- Granted the water wasan't the warmest, but he screamed the whole time. We will try again later!

Colton's New Tricks

So, Colton makes some new noises, they are pretty funny, he blows his lips and he growls, which at first we thought he was going to the bathroom, but no, he just growls and complains.

Here is one with him complaining, it's kinda funny just not after awhile-

6 Months Old

Sitting at the table like a big man Our little man at 6 months

I can't believe Colton is 6 months old today. He has grown up so much. He is such a little man.

He loves to eat peas, squash, sweet potatoes, and of course his bottles. He loves to walk with help and is rolling, but hates it when he lands on his tummy, it's kinda funny. He has had a couple of haircuts and has had the flu. He is so much fun, he laughs and tries to talk and is such a blessing and joy to our family. The time has just flown by and it amazes me at how much he does and wants to do on his own. He is trying to feed himself and really wants to eat grownup food. He sits at the table when we eat, and loves being a part of it. He has started riding in the shopping carts and sitting at the table in restruants. We sure do love our little man, and am so grateful he is part of our family. Keep smiling!!!
