Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had a great first 4th of July as a family. It was nice and hot so Colt cooled off and played in his pool which he absolutely loved. It was a busy day and Colton was tuckered out by the time the fireworks started and slept through it all, not even waking for the biggest booms!

Cap'n Colt...Ahoy!

Today was a big day for Colton, he took his first boat trip and his first swim in Lake Washington! Colt loved the boat ride out to our usual spot where we put the anchor down and jumped in to cool off. After a long day of playing on the boat and swimming in the water, Colt finally crashed and took a much needed nap. We've definitely got a future boater on our hands!

We Have Teeth!

We made a big discovery back on June 16...Colt's bottom two teeth broke through! It took a while for us to be able to snap some photos of them since we really only see them when he cries, which isn't very often! He's been doing really well and they don't seem to be bothering him, which we're very thankful for...he just loves gnawing on his hands now!

7 Months Old

Hard to believe it's been 7 months since we brought Colton home from the hospital. Back then he was just a little over 5 pounds and 19 1/2 inches, now he's tipping the scales at 19 pounds, 4 ounces and is 27 1/2 inches long! He is loving school and his teachers tell us all the time how much they love him and what a lady killer he's going to be when he grows up with those big blue eyes! Colt has also advanced to his next level of transportation...the combat crawl! He can really get moving on his tummy now, can't wait to see what he does next. He's trying all sorts of new veggies...sweet potatoes went over pretty well, but carrots were another story!

Exciting New Things!

The last few weeks have brought a few new and exciting things for Colton. Along with enjoying rice cereal or oatmeal for breakfast and dinner, Colt has started eating fruit. His favorite by far are the peaches! Soon he'll be trying out veggies for the first time...hopefully that goes as smoothly as all the other food introductions have gone! We are eagerly waiting for Colton to start crawling, he's getting there, but his current mode of transportation is rolling. He literally roles everywhere! And although he can't quite pull himself up to the sitting position yet, if put there he can sit for quite a while. As you can see from the pictures below, he's very proud of himself!

6 Months Old

Happy half birthday Colton! It's hard to believe, but we're at the half-way point of Colt's first year already! At his check up this month he weighed 17 pounds, 4 ounces and was 26 inches long...a huge growth spurt in height from last month. Colt is developing quite the personality and we love seeing what new things he's learning every day. Right now we love watching him play with his toys, roll all over the place and listen to him discover his voice. Colton has been enjoying the spring sunshine and being in the yard and can't wait to try out the pool Nana and Poppa bought for him! 

Look at Me!

Our latest discovery...Colton loves being naked! Colt is a happy baby all the time, but when he is diaper-free he takes it to a whole new level. Enjoy the photos below...hopefully we don't have a nudist on our hands!
