Finally...normal Colton programming has resumed. Sorry for the brief hiatus! We've been very busy as you can tell from the following pictures. I think 3 months is my favorite age so far. Of course I'll probably stay that about each stage. He is very social and inquisitive. I call him my little professor because he is constantly looking around and checking things out. Sometimes he is very intense. He has started teething and has 2 teeth bumps that look very painful. He will chew on anything and everything. Unfortunately, I think the teething is causing him to wake up a lot more during the night and we're all very, very tired. We were spoiled for a while because he was sleeping 5-6 hours straight and now it's very sporadic. Hopefully these teeth will emerge soon, but I've heard it can take months. He's getting very close to laughing and giggling and continues to be VERY talkative! He loves to visit while Mom is on the phone. Sometimes, he's so loud that we can't continue our conversations. So fun! He is VERY active and only stops moving when he sleeps. Eating, smiling and playing continue to be full body experiences. Enjoy the pics!
Is this the face of trouble or what? Poor kid - he's grown right out of his 3 months clothes, but I had already changed his outfit several times and didn't want to push the envelope of his patience. So highwaters it is! Thanks Pawpaw for the cool shoes!
Holding my head up so well, now.
I love him in stripes!
Trying to talk...
I am growing so fast!
We went to Abilene to visit family and friends a few weeks ago. It was our first out of town trip with the little man. He did great! Thanks, Meme, for letting us stay with you! Here is Colton with Meme's brother, Uncle Ross.
The Abilene wind took my breath away and made my hair stand on end!
My little mohawk man!
This outfit lasted about 5 minutes - he did not like it for some reason that night. However, he did great in it today when we visited a pumpkin patch for a few photos (coming soon).
This picture was taken before the big news story about the bumbo chairs. We will be very cautious about using it in the future.
In Abilene, we also stopped by my college friend, Rebekah's house. Her two little girls Natalie and Lily had a good time loving on Colton! Here is Colton with Lily.
Here is Natalie with Colton!
I'm not sure about this Mom! Daddy won't be very happy when he sees me in these necklaces...
Here I am with Meme - my great grandmother!
This is me with Aunt Opal. She's very comfortable!
Got diapers? We love all of our handmade burp cloths! They are being used constantly as Colton has started drooling big time!
Sitting up almost on my own and looking pretty handsome!
We also got to see several of my mommy's cousins. This is my 2nd cousin - Sadie. She is 6 months and so cute!
Hey - we finally caught a cute little grin! Here is Colton with Sadie and her big sister Hannah!
Here I am again with Natalie and Lily! They were pretty fun to play with!
I love riding on Daddy's shoulders! He is so much fun!
Sometimes, Daddy lets me watch tv when Mommy's not looking.
We didn't make it to the State Fair this year, but I wore my "Big Tex" onesie from Miss Heather in honor of opening day! "Howdy, Folks!"
I think I've got a hitch in my get-a-long! "Y'all come back now, you hear!"
We went to Uncle Zach's Fire Academy Graduation a few weeks ago. It was so exciting! They rappelled down a 6 1/2 story building and put out a huge house fire right in front of us. I think Colton really enjoyed seeing his Uncle Zach in his firefighter uniform. He wore his "Little Hero" shirt and firetruck sweater in honor of the big occasion. Oh and by the way, ladies... Uncle Zach is now off the market :)
Where can I get one of those helmets???
I love smiling at Daddy!
Showing off my cute "Halloween" duds that Mommy's friend, Jennifer, gave me.
This is the building Uncle Zach rappelled down.
We are so proud of you, Zach!
Colton doing his tummy time. Does our little man have a bald spot?
We call this look the "rooster".
Hanging out with my favorite bear.
