My Little Man is 4 Months Old...

Long time since I updated. And i think I mostly update this for Colton to read in the future, so I should be more diligent I guess :-) My little man is just growing like a weed. He measured in at 14lbs 13oz at his 4 month appointment on July 6th. He was 24 3/4 inches long. He is smiling, laughing, giggling, jumping, trying to sit up, eating cereal, prunes, sweet peas, almost rolling over, and trilling his tongue! He is so amazing smart and happy. Pretty much the happiest baby I have ever seen :-)

We feel so blessed to be able to be his mommy and daddy and share all of these magic moments with him. He is a complete joy and makes me the happiest mommy in the world.

I need to post some new pics, will do soon :-)

I have my nursing license!!! Oh ya, and Colton is going to be 3 months on Friday!!

This week marks a few big moments in the life of our little family. I found out that I am OFFICIALLY a nurse in the state of Ohio. I passed the NCLEX on the first try this past Saturday! I am super siked and now I am going to start looking for a job...thats the only sad part. I am going to miss all the free time home with my little man!

I have slacked quite a bit on updating the blog. Colton is smiling ALL THE TIME, and giggled for the first time last week. He is huge and has graduated to a size 2 diaper. He makes all kinds of new noises and is also trying to roll over now! He is getting so big and grown up. I am so excited to see all of his new movements and hear all his new noises!

Almost ten weeks...

I have been slacking on updates...but here is what's new!Colton has discovered his voice. He makes all of these wonferful little noises that I just love. He even startles himself sometimes with them! He can growl, and even make these girly sounding little shrieks. He is a little wiggle worm and is starting to work those stomach mucsles to try and sit up! When he is on his back or reclined he tries to ball himself up and looks like he is attempting a sit-up and his face gets real red. If you help him by pulling his arms a little he sits up! He really takes in the way everything looks from that position and then protests when you lay him back down.He went to the doctor yesterday and he is all the way up to 11 lbs 10 oz! He has almost doubled his size since birth! I cannot believe my little man is so big! He is so huge compared to that little 6 pound baby I brought home from the hospital.Not much else new is happening in our little world...Just taking it one day at a time and enjoying all the new things our little man does!

First Mothers Day and Colton is 9 Months Old

Sunday I celebrated my FIRST mothers day as a mommy! I wasn't pregnant for mothers day last year, so this is my first mothers day really! It was so sweet! David brought me home roses on Friday night and then Sunday morning, at 12:00 AM, he gave me a card and chocolate. It was sooooooooo sweet! He made it so special, and I will never forget it.

Colton turned 9 weeks old on Thursday. He is growing so fast. He hasn' really started doing anything new, he is recongnizing us more. He grins during feedings, it looks like he is trying to tell us he loves us, at least I like to think so!

Like here is good, not too much else to say!

My 8 weeks little booger...

Colton is really growing and learning soooooooooooo fast. He is smiling, laughing, cooing, and "talking back" pretty consistently now and he amazes us everyday with his new noises and faces. He is a really happy baby unless he is hungry, then he is mad mad mad until there is a bottle in his mouth. He is funny too...he tattles...now let me explain! When he gets mad at one of us he waits until the other one is in the room and wines these little wimpers to the other parent! He smiles and then frowns (so we know he is just playing) but it is sooooo funny to see.

He is an amazing baby and makes us laugh all the time. He is continuing to sleep through the night with one feeding in the wee hours of the morning.

We love him anyways...lol

7 weeks and going strong....

Colton has grown and changed so much more since I wrote last. He smiles ALL THE TIME!! He coos and seems like he is trying to talk to us, and seems frustrated when we don't understand! He is such an amazing little baby and I am so greatful that my family has given me the chance to stay home and enjoy every moment of his life so far!

Sadly, I am about to start venturing out and looking for my first job as a nurse. I have already had a few leads for some doctors offices so I am looking into those. I just wish I didn't have to leave my little man! But David and I are gonna work out our schedules so he is always either with one of us or with my parents, so that is good news!

Colton is such a joy, he is learning and growing so much. He is already up to 9 pounds and 9 ounces, as of last Monday and is growing in lenth too. I believe he was up to 21 1/2 inches. He is right on track! He has met all of his milestones so far, and I think he is going to be an early walker because he bears weight on his legs already! That is a big milestone! We are having such a good time being parents and look forward to whats to come! I can't wait to have another...

First shots today...

Colton went to the doctor today and had his first shots :-( He did wonderful! He was such a strong little man. He cried during the shots, but as soon as she was done he just looked around the room and stopped crying. He is such a little trooper. He has had a low-grade fever today and has been really sleepy, but he is doing so well :-)

His thrush is all cleared up too. It took some really purple medicine to clear it up, but its finally gone after 2 weeks of sticking to his mouth!!

He is such a cute little boy! I am enjoying every moment with this little boy!!
