Colton's New Trick

Last week we would hear this sucking noise coming from Colton and it was not his normal paci noise...I finally got some pics this morning of his new trick! :-) This pics here show him sucking his thumb...but most of the time he is trying to put his whole fist in his mouth! It's really cute!

Random Photos from the Last Week

We woke up to snow this morning!
Just chillin'
Kissing her little brother!
I got a new hat at Mason's last weekend and Lauren wanted to wear it too...
Colton loves to snuggle and Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan got him this frog for Christmas...he loves to snuggle it as you can see he will even turn his head towards it if he feels it beside him (which is what he does at night when we snuggle...he turns his head towards me :-))
New earrings from Aunt Kissy and Uncle Brian for Christmas...
My little cowboy! Thanks Keisha and Ryan for the outfit!

10 Weeks Old

Colton is now 10 weeks old...that means I'm going back to work in 2 short weeks! :-(

He now weighs 14 pounds 1 ounce! Crazy how fast they grow up! Tomorrow he will be walking and Lauren will be teaching him to ride a bike, etc...He is cooing, smiling, laughing and loves to take baths! The colic is still here but it's not as bad as it was 5 or 6 weeks ago. Not sure if it's the Gripe Water, his age, the fact that I'm not drinking milk or a combination of the three that is making it better...but whatever it is we are keeping it up because it makes our days easier! He just started liking his bouncy seat which is nice...you even laugh at the three animals on it which makes us smile! He is starting to wear 3-6 month clothes because his 0-3 month clothes are starting to get tight so I figured I'd go ahead and move him up so he is comfortable. :-) He is still eating every 2-3 hours (except at night he does awesome and sleeps for 4 hours and then 3 hours!) but I'm hoping to move it to every 3 hours 100% of the time before I go back to work.

It's so true that until you have a child you don't know what that love is like! You think you know...but honestly until you have your own you just can't fully understand the amount of love God gives each of us to share! He truly is the one and only Almighty! Thank you God for giving me such a wonderful loving family! I'm truly blessed!

Santa's Gift

I think someone likes her new playhouse!
She watches TV in it...


And even takes time to say hello to her mama! :-)
Love you baby girl!
P.S. this is not the final location for the playhouse...it was just where we first put it when we came home from Christmas at the Beck's. :-)
