| Likes to help me get Caden up from his nap :) |
 |
| Loves to make a "cozy spot" with ALL his pillows, blankets and animal friends! |
 |
| Watching videos of himself and cousins with Daddy. |
Colton - I don't want to forget these days...these moments and the words that fill my ears...You are such a special boy and I love watching you grow up.
Love the way Colton still mispronounces some words...
Grills for girls. He informed me the other day that I wasn't a real grill :) Oh really?!
Calls Caden a tobbler instead of a toddler. Grandad shared a sweet story about Colton wondering why Caden was always knocking down his stuff. Grandad said, "Well, Caden is still a baby." Colton emphatically denied this saying, "No, he's not a baby - he's a tobbler!"
When a commercial for a show that he is interested comes on, he'll say, "Mommy, did you cacord it?"
He says world in a sweet way - kind of like wrilld.
Calls his footed pj's "footers" and wants to invent a pair that cover his hands too.
Daily is building, engineering or designing something usually using every pillow, couch cushion and stuffed animal in the house. He wants me to help him build - but has DEFINITE ideas of where things should go! I love his imagination but boy is it tiring to put the house back together when he's done building :)
Doesn't quite get hide and seek yet and announces where he's going to hide next before the counter begins counting. He also loves Duck, Duck Goose but doesn't get the concept yet either.
Can run super fast. Like so fast, Jack and I are not sure
if we could catch him if he ran away...Please don't give him any ideas! He will chase bubbles forever! Loves to play monster (basically chase with monster sounds) and sometimes when mom and dad are tired he lets us play "Lay Down/Sit Down" Monster so we can rest. We just have to try and grab him when he runs by. He also loves to wrestle with his Daddy!
Love listening in on his playtimes - he has full back and forth conversations with his animals, trains, cars and it usually involves part reality part outer space/monster pretend.
Has become quite the eater lately! Loves frozen blueberries, cutie oranges, bananas, broccoli (trees), fish sticks, anything chocolate and ice cream! He calls breakfast - lunch and dinner - breakfast. He's also very concerned about eating something healthy before he has a sugary snack... Wonder how long this will last??
 |
| He doesn't do this every time (or I might worry) but this evening he lined up all his vegetables in a train before he ate them. |
 |
| This was back in January. Grandma and Grandad brought over a birthday cake for my birthday and Colton REALLY enjoyed it! He's really calmed down a lot since his "can't sit still days" but every once in a while he still does something to remind me of those days :) |
 |
| This was from way back in December. Colton had a school program in which he totally hammed it up. He sang loud, hugged the kid next to him and was just unaware of the crowd. His teacher was really surprised because during rehearsal he was stone still and barely sang. You just never know! |
 |
| Loves to read and remembers so much! Today he was asking what other animals molt? Umm, let me get back to you on that one, buddy! |
 |
| Once Colton discovered Angry Birds on Daddy's Ipad - it was all over. He also loves to listen to Thomas books on Daddy's iPad... what have we started :) |
 |
| Can build a gigantic railway all by himself and can play for hours with his trains. He actually enjoys building more than the actual trains going around the track. |
 |
| Proud of his block towers/city! |
 |
Tolerates Caden's exuberant love most of the time.
Colton - you are my sweetest boy! I love snuggling with you in the morning when you take a little while to wake up. I love the way you turn into a puppy sometimes. I love your sweet questions and how you have started saying 'cuz I love you, Mommy...
I love you so much! |
