Day 118

With the heat rearing its ugly head once again in Virginia Beach, Colton was confined to the indoors for most of the day. He did make his morning trip to the JCC and grocery store, but was home afterwards to spend the day with mom, Chipper, and the air conditioner. All was not lost, though...now that Colton can hold his head up, he is able to play in his jumper and is loving all the new and exciting things to touch and see.

Day 117

Today was Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tony's last day in Virginia Beach, so after the morning trip to the JCC, Colton went down to Meme and Papa's house to say good-bye until his Florida trip in November. He ended up doing some swimming in the pool with everyone to avoid the hot day. He had a great time, especially when his face accidentally got dunked in the water a few times. After all that activity, Colton came home to take his nap before going to meet his other grandparents at the Wild Wing for dinner. He was quite the popular baby at the Wing, being greeted by a few admiring fans who have watched him grow up over the past few months, considering he makes a weekly (pretty much anyways) appearance there.

Day 116

With Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tony still in town, Colton had another busy and eventful day! He started off as usual with a trip to the JCC and then to Target to pick up a few things he needed. Afterwards, he headed home to get ready, as Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tony were coming with Meme and Papa to see the house. He gave them the grand tour and then joined everyone for lunch. After lunch, it was time to go home and take a nap before meeting everyone once again for dinner at Il Giardino. Colton had a blast at dinner; he even wore himself out so much that he fell asleep there and slept right on through the night!

Day 115

Today was a big day for Colton: he got to finally meet his Great Aunt Debbie and Great Uncle Tony who were in from Florida to visit him. He went to Papa's boat to meet them and take a cruise for a few hours. Colton had a good time out on the boat, and then went home to get ready for dinner at Meme and Papa's house with everyone. Colton was the star of the show, showcasing his giggling and toy holding, much to everyone's delight. His show was made even better by the adorable golf shoes Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tony had brought him. He looked like a total stud, which of course, we all know he is.

Day 114

Colton was a very good boy today. Mom had a hair appointment in the morning and was a little worried about how Colton would do waiting in the salon. Luckily, he seemed perfectly content sitting on mom's lap while she was under the dryer and in his chair while she was getting her hair done. After a long stay at the hair place, mom and Colton came home to spend some time together before he headed over to his grandmother's house for the night. Mom and Dad had Hot Latin Nights to attend with the Kletz side of the family, but lucky for Colton, Papa ended up getting him his first drum set while we were there. Can't wait to use that in a couple years!

Day 113

Today was another big first for Colton: his first Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! After going to the JCC in the morning, he headed down to the sale with mom. Luckily, Meme was there doing her damage as well because mom had forgotten her wallet and Meme was nice enough to pay for her shirt and new winter coat! Colton figured he would wait until a little later to get his stuff because it was too hard to tell what would fit him by the time fall rolls around, but it was very exciting to see all the adorable clothing options he will have once he hits the 6 month benchmark! After the trip to Nordstrom, Colton came home for naptime and then woke up to spend a Friday night out at the Wild Wing with mom and dad.

As you can see by the picture, Colton is becoming increasingly fond of his hands and anything and everything they can grab...he even tries to help with his feedings now by holding his own bottle!

Day 112

After a couple of pretty lazy days, Colton was back to his busy schedule today. First, he hit the JCC with mom and then came home to quickly get ready for the rest of the day. He stopped by mom's school to pick up a few things, and then went to meet mom's friend, Mary, for lunch at Baker's Crust and then went back to her condo to see her beautiful new hardwood floors. After visiting for a while, Colton made it very clear that he was ready to go home and take his nap, which he did until it was time to make dinner. Colton got a special treat after dinner, making a trip to the Skinny Dip with mom and dad and then finished up his evening by watching the Braves game with dad.
