10 Months Old

Well it's been a busy month for Colton and as you can see it's getting harder and harder to get these monthly photos of him! Colt didn't have much of a growth spurt this month, he's weighing in at 21 pounds and is still 28 3/4 inches long. He's got five teeth in and three more that are about to pop through. Colton loves cruising around anything he can hold on to and is even getting brave enough to try standing on his own every once in a while...although when he does it's only a second or two before he comes crashing down! But out of everything he's doing right now, his favorite new thing is clapping...he's so proud of himself when he sees everyone laughing and clapping along with him!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Sunday Colton got to go to his first baseball game! Even though it was a rainy day we packed up our stuff and headed to Cheney Stadium for the Tacoma Rainiers game. Colt loved watching the game, cheering and dancing to all the songs. With all the excitement it was no shock that Colton spent the last few innings taking a nap!

9 Months Old

Hard to believe that summer is already coming to an end and even harder to believe that Colton will soon be one! At his check up this month he weighed 20 pounds, 12 ounces and was 28 3/4 inches long...right about average for weight and a little above average for height. Colt's two bottom teeth are fully in and we learned that he is getting six of his top teeth at the same time...needless to say we are going through a lot of shirts with all that drool! He's loving trying all sorts of new foods and starting to feed himself, we found out that he loves mashed potatoes! Colt is doing really well at school and is no longer the youngest baby, now he's the one showing all the new kids the ropes!

8 Months Old

8 months old...WOW! Colton is getting bigger every day and now weighs 20 pounds and is 28 inches long, such a big boy. He is talking up a storm, so now we're just waiting for an actual real word to come out! Colt is surviving the summer and this heat wave we're having by spending evenings playing in his pool and getting a cool bath at night before bed. He's trying hard to learn how to crawl, pulls himself up to standing on just about anything tall enough and has mastered his sippy cup...we can't wait to see what he'll do next!

Tickle Time!

Over the past few months Colton has become very ticklish. Jake really had him going tonight so we thought we'd let you in on the fun!

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!
