Colton 4 Months

Happy 4 Months Sweet Boy. During this month you had your very first Christmas and had your first day of day care as I got ready to start work. You've found your hands and your feet and think they're quite hilarious. You are so close to rolling over, but so far just like to lay on your side and suck on your fingers.You are something so sweet and so handsome and we are so in love with you!

Weight:16 lbs (65%) and height: 27" inches(99%)

 
First Christmas!
 
 
Big sister helping me take a big cousin picture!
 
The boys!
 Meeting his Great Grandma Judy while finding out that Aunt Lissa was going to give us a boy cousin!
 
 Just a few random pictures showing off our Sherpa Booties and new dinosaur towel!
 
 Our little mister :) #3!

 No rolling over yet, but getting so strong with your tummy time!
  
Just another chair photo shoot! Sometimes he's so cute I can't even stand it.
 

 
 Happy Boy!
 Off to his first day of day care. He is so loved and so adored every day it sure makes it easier to drop him off.
 
 Still so loved and adored by your two big sisters. They want me to put you down so they can play with you!

 Hard to get them all in focus when they're moving and playing, but they're so cute when they want to play with him.
I know is fuzzy, but she was so cute wanting to do tummy time too
 
Tiny 3 month milestones sitting up in your toy and having dinner at the kitchen table! Every one of our kids have used and loved this toy!
 First family dinner!
 Mommy and me time at the doctor's office! Thought his eyes would go blue, but they're just sitting at this dark grey color. 
 
 I can always make you smile and you have a little tickle spot right by your neck. You love getting your diaper changed and seem to giggle every time you don't have clothes on! 
 
 4 month check up. Perfectly healthy and taking shots like a pro!
Finding our feet and all signs point to teething. We should see a few teeth by next month!

 

Selfies with my little man! :)

Happy 4 Months to my sweetest boy. Colton Christopher you are such a bright addition to our little family!

Christmas 2017

Christmas is so much about sharing love and joy with all of those around you. Christmas for us was 4 days full of family and presents and sharing these little kiddos with those that love them the most! 
 
A Christmas trip to the park!
 
Checking out the Christmas tree with the glasses that turn the lights into snowflakes
 
Taylor always wants to be "helping" instead of playing! So afraid to miss out on something to eat or to not know what's going on...I don't know where she gets that from.
 

 Using Nani's Christmas toys to boost our tummy time!
 

Little man gets held a lot when we're on the go!
Fun watching them play with the big girls!
 Christmas boxes
 
 
Both fuzzy but I still thought they were cute!
 Just hanging out with Aunt Lissa while she's growing this guys new baby cousin!
Back home for Christmas Eve and obligatory pictures by the tree!
Selfies before Candlelight service...with cookies all over their mouth!
Jordan stood in the aisle singing all the Christmas carols she knows. Sweet sweet words from this big girl singing about the newborn King!
 Silent Night. Such a sweet picture of Tay. Full disclosure this was immediately before I quickly blew out her candle because she kept dropping the top down and it was 2 inches from her shirt. Glad we go this sweet picture first!
 Home to decorate our cookies for Santa!
 Santa was here!


 Taylor: I want to hold his leg!!! Seeeeeee 
I have to post 4 of these just to capture Taylor's face since she refuses to smile!
Hahaha Poor Colton!
  Love these three littles bigger than the world!

Merry First Christmas sweet baby boy!

Christmas in College Station

I love Payton's face in this picture. She is so excited to get her hands on this baby that she FaceTime calls every. single. day! She loves her Baby Colton so much and she is so cute with him!

The boys!

Selfie time with Aunt Alli!
 
 
So sweet with his great grandmother!
Two year olds at Christmas are the definition of "a kid at Christmas" when it comes to excitement. This girl just wanted to rip through every present and wanted to know which next one was hers. She literally could not stand the excitement of presents!
But she also couldn't open anything on her own!


Second annual Barrett Christmas Night bingo game. I have a picture of our Bingo Master, but I had a feeling she maybe didn't want me to post it.

Jordan was all about the build your own waffle bar "at the bayou"
When Poppy joins you at the kids table


Pay will just look at whoever has the baby until they ask if she wants to hold him again.
 
Attempting pictures with all littles

This one is my favorite!

These three :)

We spent the rest of our Christmas break playing with all our new presents!
 
having slumber parties with our mermaid "snuggies"
Taylor's first hair cut!
Watching movies
A rare picture of me, but this is how we hang. With both Taylor and Colton on top of someone.
And that's a WRAP on Christmas 2017!
