Thankful

As I sat around our table at Thanksgiving I thought of everything I was thankful for and wanted to share, so here goes. There are the obvious ones my family: sometimes they are a pain, but always there when you need them, our healthy baby boy: he's getting so big and he just puts a smile on my face every day, and my job: thank goodness I have a job I love and has vacation days for me to spend with my family. There is so much more to be thankful for, but I'd be here ALL day. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now the countdown starts until Christmas!!!

F is for four months and food!

Colt is eating real food now! Woo hoo! Talk about stinky diapers!!! So far we've tried cereal and bananas. We may be adventurous tonight and try some apples. We're also trying the sippy cup. Crazy, I know!!! It's funny to see this little guy sitting in his high chair trying to drink from a sippy cup. He grabs the handle and chews on the spout, I haven't quite figured out if he's getting anything out of it yet, but hey, he's trying... at least he's getting the idea! Here are some pictures of his first time eating and his 4 month picture.

Love y'all!

Halloween and more Fall Fun

Well, since the last time I posted it has been quite crazy! We all had a stomach bug. Now it's terrible when you're sick or when the baby is sick, but when ALL of you are sick... it is REALLY terrible. I think we are finally all back in good health. Colt had his 4 month check up. He was 13.8 lbs and 24 1/2 inches long. The doctor called him "shrimpy", but let me just say, the boy has been making up for lost time lately!! Since switching him to formula he's been pretty mad about the whole eating thing. He would eat 4 oz and cry while he was eating. Now he has seemed to adjust to formula, but he still will fuss while he is eating every now and then. He's also been waking up in the middle of the night to eat, which he hasn't done since he was 6 weeks old!!! Talk about tiring... yikes!!! I just keep praying that this growth spurt will pass quickly... if not we're flying mom down to do the night shift. LOL.

I'm posting some pictures of Colt at the pumpkin patch and his first Halloween. Unfortunately Colt was not feeling to well for it, but you can't tell from his pictures! I'm so thankful that God has blessed us with such a happy go lucky little boy!

I'll be posting Thanksgiving pictures soon... can't wait to show y'all his outfit!!
