1 Year Old

One year...holy cow! The past year has completely flown by and Colton is already one! Colt is a busy, busy boy...so much so that he's fallen off the weight chart a little and now has to drink yummy calorie packed chocolate milk. At his one year check up he weighed in at 21 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces and was 30 1/2 inches long. He may be a skinny thing, but he sure is tall! Colton is crawling almost to fast for us to catch him and working hard to try and walk...could be any day now. He's saying Mama and Dada and points at any animal and exclaims "Ga!" we're pretty sure that's Colt talk for dog...he sure loves his Cooper! Colton's first year has been absolutely amazing, we're so blessed to have what we think is just about the happiest baby ever! Here's to another great year!

Baptism Day

Last week Colton was Baptized at our church St. Stephens. He was such a good boy throughout everything...and didn't even cry when the water was poured on his head! It was so fun to have all our family there especially Colt's Godmother and Godfather, Auntie Katie and Uncle Adam.

1st Haircut!

Today was a really fun day...Colton got his first haircut! He had so much fun playing with the steering wheel and horn while Meredith cut his hair and he didn't even cry! Colt loved every minute of it and even clapped when he was all done and got a rubber ducky for being so good. It all concluded with a mohawk and everyone we saw after that commenting on how cute he looked! He's such a big boy now!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! We hope you are having a fun Halloween and getting lots of treats instead of tricks! Colton has been having a lot of fun the last couple of days showing everyone his monkey costume, but no trick-or-treating this year...maybe next year!

11 Months Old

Believe it or not we're just one month away from Colton's 1st birthday and preparations are well underway for what is sure to be a fun party! Colt is now 22 pounds and 29 inches long...he's getting so big! Colton is keeping us busy at home crawling around and getting into just about anything he can get his hands on. At school he's now the oldest in his class and is helping teach all the other babies how to sit and crawl. He loves walking all around his classroom with the toy shopping cart...and his teachers tell us it won't be long until he doesn't need the cart anymore!

Carving Pumpkins

As promised Colton helped Jake carve our pumpkins for Halloween. He wasn't that into the pumpkin guts, but he did get a little messy! Our front porch is now ready for all of our trick-or-treaters!

Out in the Pumpkins

It was such a nice fall weekend we packed Colton up and headed out to the pumpkin patch. Colt loved playing in the pumpkins and touching all the funny looking bumpy ones. He had so much fun, the only part he didn't like was when the giant monster truck would start up...not to worry though he quickly recovered and got back to playing and picking out his pumpkins! Next up...carving them for Halloween!
