Day 349

Thank goodness Colton seemed to be in a much better mood today.  Mom thinks it may have been the cheese quesadilla or oatmeal raisin cookie he had for dinner, both of which he devoured!  Either way, Colton was a lot of fun tonight, although we appear no closer to walking and mom and dad are set to leave in just a couple days...

Day 348

Colton returned triumphantly to his babysitter's house today.  All of his friends were happy to see him, although Zoe, the babysitter's dog, probably was not as Colton beat on her (she is much more patient than Chipper who usually bolts too fast for Colton to be able to get him).  Once home, Colton was quite fussy...we're hoping his two newest teeth coming in, which supposedly are the most painful, are the culprit.  Even with his fussiness, mom tried to get Colton to drink from yet another sippy cup.  Despite the promise shown in this picture, we were completely unsucessful once again...

Days 346 and 347

Yay!!! Colton was feeling better just in time for the weekend and was therefore able to enjoy every minute of it.  Dad was working the Home Show Saturday morning, so mom and Colton hit the mall.  Colton was a very good sport as mom tried on clothes...he even clapped in encouragement a few times (such a sweet boy!).  At night, Colton went to Shorebreak with mom and dad to meet Uncle Ryan, Aunt KC, Davy and Michelle for the ODU basketball game.  He was happy to cheer them to victory, although it made for quite the late night for him.  On Sunday, Dad was working the home show again so Colton got dragged on mom's errands once again, but then got to come home and relax for the rest of the day.

Day 345

Colton woke up without a fever today (yay!), but headed over to Meme and Papa's house for the morning just to be safe.  When mom came to pick him up at lunchtime, she was happy to find baby boy fever free, feeling better, and playing happily.  Once home, Colton continued to play, exploring EVERYTHING he could get his little hands on.  He even seems to already be tapping into his future as he couldn't seem to keep his hands off of the air conditioner vents!  At night, he joined mom, dad, and Uncle Jordan for dinner at Wild Wing (of course), although dad insists Colton enjoys going there as much as he does because of all the attention he gets there.

Day 344

Colton woke up with his fever still in full gear, so he headed to Meme's house for the day.  She took good care of him, and when mom showed up to pick him up at the end of the day, he appeared to be feeling better.  At home, he played, ate, and got closer and closer to taking his first steps.  Hopefully, baby boy will be back at 100% soon so we can make more progress.

Day 343

Whew!  We finally got an 11 month portrait of baby boy.  It took a little help from Colton's best friend, Lovie, and baby boy feeling a little under the weather, but we have success.  Colton headed to the doctor today because his fever keeps coming back.  Luckily he only seems to have a virus, so it's just a matter of being patient and waiting this thing out.  Although a little more tired than usual, Colton did seem to be in pretty good spirits and had a good time with mom and Chipper for the day:)

Day 342

Colton had a good day at the babysitter's house, but when mom showed up to pick him up, he had a fever (100.4).  It looks like we will be staying home tomorrow...hopefully this explains why baby boy has been a little more tempermental lately.  Once home, Colton appeared to be in good spirits at times, but a little extra fussy at other.  We have a doctor's appointment scheduled for the morning, so hopefully baby boy will be back to 100% soon.
