Ready for Christmas!

Well...Colton's officially ready for Christmas! This weekend we went and saw Santa. We thought that Colton was going to be scared and that we would end up with a nice red faced, tear filled picture of him and Santa (everyone around us also assured us this would happen), but what we got was the exact opposite! We wouldn't say that Colt LOVED Santa, but he definitely didn't cry. He more looked at him like "who the heck are you?!" What came next however did make him cry...apparently Colton is not a huge fan of horses including carousels. It was like torture the entire time we rode it! We couldn't get a smile out of him until we got off!

1st Steps!

Tonight was a big night...Colton took his very first steps! Although he didn't get far we were so excited to see him take these very few little steps. Colton's getting more and more brave letting go of things and trying to walk, we think he may be walking by Christmas!

Happy Birthday Colton!

Colton's first birthday party was a huge success and he had so much fun! He was so excited to see all of his friends and family and played with everyone the whole day. Colt loved opening his presents and playing with his new toys...he definitely has lots to keep him busy now! The party concluded with a round of Happy Birthday, Colton trying to stick his fingers in the candles and some very yummy cake. We were a little unsure how Colt would like his cake, but after testing it out a little bit he ended up doing pretty good! Click here to see some more party pics!

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!
