Colton - 5 months old

I can't believe it but 5 months ago today at this very moment I was in labor with the cutest little boy I've ever seen. I never knew my heart could expand as much as it has since he arrived! Colton you are the best baby a mom could ask for. You are so laid back, you love to laugh and smile and you just melt my heart everyday when you laugh at your sister. She loves you so much!!!

At 5 months old you have found your feet and hands and love to try to put anything you can get a hold of in your mouth! Its so cute to watch you take your paci from your mouth, hold it out and look at it and then try to put it back in. You lay on your back and pull your feet up towards your head and pull on your socks with your hands. You can sit in your bumbo for a short amount of time before slumping over and you like to sit in your exercauser with a blanket wrapped around you so that you can actually sit up. You have the cutest fat rolls I've ever seen and all I want to do is kiss those cheeks of yours! You giggle and coo all the time and sometimes I swear you are saying "Mama"! I love it!!! We've been secretly working on "Dada" so that your daddy doesn't get his feeling hurt. :-) That's ok though...your sister said "Dada" first so maybe it's just my turn!

You weigh 17 1/4 pounds as of this morning! You are starting to eat up to 7 ounces at a time and so we have started feeding you cereal, sweet potatoes and bananas. So far you have not made any funny faces so I'm assuming you like them all.

Here's that famous smile we love so much!

We love you little man!
