Colton 11 Months

I am certainly not ready for this little one turning one next month, but he is getting so big whether I like it or not! He just cut his 5th tooth and working on number 6 right up there in the front. He is a speed crawler and is still into EVERYTHING! I never had to worry about the girls putting hands into the toilet...what is wrong with these boys?!?! 

 
Starting to see Colton's little personality develop. 
 

Starting to finally enjoy bath time! He's always been pretty indifferent towards it but now loves playing in the water
 
This guy has always been so happy and has had no shortage of smiles, but poor little one got hit with a virus of some sort and was quite pitiful. It's been a few months since this one would fall asleep on me. Pitiful....but sweet.

Went to visit our cousins and spend some time with Aunt Alli
 
I think they love you little one :)
Sometimes you just have to go to sisters' fancy tea party
But then you get to see trains!

The oldest and the youngest cousins and the only boys. Barrett is so sweet with his little cousins
 

Just a little mischievous 
 
Summer days when you have to run an errand. We got this!
Colton had his first trip leaving Texas this month when we went to Durango! We'll give him a B- on the car drive, a C- for never switching his internal clock to Colorado time, a D at all meals for constantly trying to climb on the tables and A+ for being cute able to hang for most of the trip! 
  

  
Colton just trying to keep up!
 
Such a little boy in a big big world

 
So sweet seeing Colton with his great grandpa!
 

Gamma taking lots of good care of Colton helping us go on our adventures!
 
 Life at the mountain is so hard!

I think all of the kids eyes are closed, but for some reason I still love this picture! These littles love their daddy so much! 




Sleep tight our little starfish
The one picture I have from this month after we got home from our trip is this princess ballerina pushing Colton in the doll stroller. Our house is a mess, the picture is fuzzy, no one is looking at the camera and yet I love everything about this picture! Sorry Colton! You'll be big enough one day to fight for yourself!! 
We will so enjoy this one last month before you turn one! You have blessed our family in so many ways and we love you bigger than the world!

Colton 10 Months!

I'm completely avoiding the thought of this little boy turning a year old in a couple of months. His favorite game is clapping someone's hands together. Sounds pretty simple, but I'm saying his face lights up EVERY time. He will grab your pinkies and start clapping your hands together any chance he gets. He has been eating almost anything we can eat and definitely prefers food to his bottles. He's sleeping all night and waking up a busy and happy little thing.
 

 I feel like a baby's first spaghetti is a big deal! :)
 Sweet Aunt Alli time
 Helped celebrate his biggest sister turning 5!
 
Colton - you are so loved by this girl and the feeling is mutual. He lights up every time Jordan walks into the room. She is so sweet with him always wanting to hold him and she can almost always calm him down if he's upset.
 Helping Poppy with his glass!
 Hanging out at the pool plus our favorite selfies with Mommy! He has really started to figure out his whole mirror/selfie thing and lights up every time he sees himself.
 
 Summer time with friends!
 This boy is EVERYWHERE! His favorite places to play. 
 
   
I LOVE this sweet face!
 

 
This little boy LOVES his biggest sister. Jordan can always make him smile
 
 



 Starting to cruise all around this coffee table. Also trying to eat everything he can find on it!
 

 
 Always climbing

Is tough being the littlest one...just checking out what sisters are doing at dance camp
My little man
Finally playing with actual toys instead of just remotes and phones. I'm aware at how pink this all looks...we'll get you some boy toys soon little man
 

Will love watching this little bond form between the three of them
 


Taylor thinks he's a baby doll sometimes! She loves this baby boy so hard!
 
  

  

 
 
 
Fun at the pool
