Days 198 and 199

Whew! Colton has been one busy boy, well, actually, he has been one very tolerant little boy. Mom and dad have been busy this weekend with Uncle Jordan's pre-wedding festivities. With mom and dad busy, Colton had to keep himself busy for most of the day, but he was a good sport about it. Luckily, his Aunt Debbie (the VB one) came over to help mom out, and the party went on without a hitch. Colton started off the party playing with everyone, but with bedtime come and gone, he got changed into his pj's to wind down for the night. When he hit his crib, he was fast asleep within seconds!

Days 196 and 197

Mom has been super busy with school stuff and getting ready for Uncle Jordan's rehearsal dinner this weekend, so she apologizes for the lack of a picture yesterday (and the issues with the one from the day before, which hopefully are resolved now). Colton has been a fantastic, happy baby the last couple of days, as usual! He has enjoyed his time at the babysitter, but more so his time at home with mom, dad, and Chipper. Today, Colton and Chipper laid on the bed smashing their faces together and playing...it was super cute!

Day 195

Colton was so thankful Meme had surprised with a warm, cuddly jacket yesterday because, boy was it cold outside this morning. Colton bundled up and headed off to the babysitter's house. He had a good day there and then came home to take Chipper on a walk with mom. After dinner, Colton played with mom and dad before going off to bed.

Day 194

With cooler temperatures finally arriving, Colton was super excited to sport his new fall clothes today! The babysitter reported he was particularly joyful today; he must have gotten his fussiness out of his system the day before! Today, Colton seemed really eager to show off his new vocal talent: screaching.

Day 193

Today was a rough day for Colton: he woke up at 6AM, was fussy all day, and watched his first Steelers loss (which maybe explains some of the fussiness). Mom explained to him that 3-1 without Ben is still pretty darn good, but he did take the loss a little hard. He did enjoy having Meme and Papa over to watch the game and play with him and his brother, bu tjust wishes those darn Steelers would have held off that last minute touchdown.

PS: I don't know what is up with mom's eye in the picture...she certainly did not have a black eye!

Day 192

Colton spent his Saturday morning playing with the family. He had to take his nap early to get ready for the big ODU football game. As always, he was the star of the tailgate, hanging out in Aunt KC's car, eating the football, and sitting up tall for everyone to see. While there, Mom even discovered that his top two front teeth have broken through!!! Colton enjoyed the actual football game, too, although he got tired right around halftime and decided to call it a night.

Day 191

Colton was so happy to make it to Friday, especially when the tv greeted him with the news that Norfolk Public Schools was under a one-hour delay (a nice conselation prize from the day before, I guess), so Colton got to spend a little more time with mom before heading to the babysitter's house. After a day spent there, Colton was happy to join mom and dad the Outback for a nice dinner out. He is such a big boy; he sat in the real high chair while out to dinner, and seemed to really enjoy it! Dinner out really wore little man out. He was asleep by the time the car pulled in the driveway and slept right through his diaper/pj change!
