Here is a video of Colton rolling over from tummy to back. He started doing this over Thanksgiving when he was about 7 weeks old. I sort of thought it was a fluke and neglected to work on his tummy time much once we got home. On Sunday night I had him doing tummy time and he did it 3 times to the opposite side. Of course, once we got the video camera out he wouldn't do it. Tonight I finally got it on video. :-) He really puts a lot of effort and determination into it, it is really quite cute! Chad and I get so excited when he does it too.

1st plane ride, Thanksgiving, 2 month appt and more!
Because I can't find the time to consistently blog, I always have so much to update everyone on so please bear with me...Since our last blog, Colton took his first plane ride for the Thanksgiving holiday back east to stay at Nonnie and Pop-Pop's in East TN. Colton was a champion flier! Chad and I were pretty nervous but he did awesome. While visiting the east coast Colton got to meet a lot of family and friends - too many to list but he loved meeting everyone! We are so thankful to everyone who went out of their way to meet him!
Colton also turned 2 months old and had a baby well visit with the pediatrician. He was 11 lbs 12 oz (50th percentile) and 22 3/4 long (50th percentile) - he is growing great and healthy as can be! We feel so fortunate!
While meeting with the pediatrician we asked for a little sleep advice. God knows I have read EVERY book on sleep and all of them have differing opinions. He said that typically babies start to sleep for longer periods when they reach 12 lbs. Well, I'm happy to announce that he might be right! The past two nights Colton has had an 8 hour stretch which is a huge accomplishment since before that we were lucky to get 4 hours. I'm not celebrating just yet but I am hopeful that we may have a little sleeper after all. :-)
Today Colton also went to church for the first time and was an angel! We didn't even have to visit the cry room once during the longer than usual communion service.
And another milestone...Colton rolled over from belly to back three more times tonight and Chad got to witness it! It was super exciting! Over Thanksgiving (at 7 weeks) he did it twice for me and I thought it may have been a fluke but tonight he did it again and to the opposite side. Chad and I were so excited we didn't think the get the video camera out and, of course, when we did he wouldn't do it. Isn't that typical?
Here are some links to pics from Thanksgiving and some pics that my friend, Kim, took when she visited him. She has an awesome camera (one that I may need to ask Santa for this year).
