Colton's Adventures!

So it's been a while since the last post and it's been a busy spring/summer for Colton. We spent Mother's Day at Woodland Park Zoo, Jake and Colt had a boy's weekend on Lopez Island, Auntie Katie and Uncle Adam took Colton to the aquarium for the first time, we checked out the butterfly exhibit at the Pacific Science Center and Colton played race car in some leftover wedding present boxes.

Probably one of the funniest things that's happened in a while is that we bought Colton his first potty! He's been practicing at school so we figured we should give it a shot at home too. We haven't had any luck with it yet, but Colt loves sitting on it and trying...he also loves carrying it around the house!

A Day at the Park

We've never seen someone enjoy a slide more than Colton! Over the weekend we had a beautiful day so we ventured out to our neighborhood park so Colt could play a little. He's not much of a swing kid yet...in fact he screams when you put him in one...but you can't keep him off the slide! We're sure that as the weather keeps getting nicer we'll be frequenting the park a lot more!

And so it begins...

Let's face it, Colton has had his fair share of bumps and bruises and everyone keeps telling us "he's a boy, just wait and see!" Well this weekend I think I finally realized that he really has turned into a little boy! While helping Papa in the yard this weekend Colt took his first wheelbarrow ride which left him with a diaper full of pine needles, but he didn't seem to mind to much. But best of all, Colton saw his first frog and with the help of Jake and Auntie Katie he not only pet the frog, he picked it up and tossed it in the grass! Can't wait to see what he discovers next!

Colton Goes to the Zoo

A few weeks ago we had a gorgeous weekend so we packed up and headed out to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium for Colton's first trip to the zoo...he absolutely loved it! We saw penguins, elephants, monkeys and even a camel. Colt loved looking at all the animals, but I would say that he like watching the monkeys swing around the most. I think we're in for a lot of trips to the zoo this summer!

Happy Easter!

Colton is officially an Easter egg hunting pro! After a couple of egg hunts over the weekend, Colt's Easter basket if full of goodies! We had a great day spending time with family, relaxing and playing with Colton's new toys...needless to say the Easter bunny went a little overboard...but what's new!

Rocking Horse!

It took three months, but Colton finally likes his rocking horse! He even gives it a kiss every night! For those of you who saw the terrified look on his face when Nana and Papa gave it to him at his birthday party, here is some proof that he will actually get on it now!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Colton had a fun Valentine's Day celebrating at school with his friends and eating cupcakes. He even made a special Valentine and sent it to us in the mail! Since Valentine's Day, Colt has loved having some extra yummy cookies at home and likes to sneak bites from us...he even knows where they're kept on the counter!
