New videos!

Here are a couple of new videos of Colton. The first is from last Friday when Roberta & Charles came out for the weekend to visit. Charles wanted to try the paper tearing trick. The second is yesterday when Chad came home from work and took his belt off and told Colton he was going to "tan his hide." The video footage on the second one isn't that great because I was holding Colton on my hip but you get the point. Enjoy!

Also, some new pics that I posted on Facebook this week:

Tearing up junk mail is so funny!

Or at least it is to Colton! This morning I put Colton in his jumper while I went through some mail. As I ripped up some of the junk mail he started laughing so loud! For those of you who know Colton well, you know that he is a pretty serious little dude and to get him to laugh out loud takes a lot of work. As I continued to rip, he continued to crack up laughing. I immediately called Chad so he could hear him and Chad said "did you get it on video?" Well, it is a little hard to rip up mail and video and by the time I figured out how to do it Colton was ready for his nap. So this afternoon while paying some bills Colton found ripping up paper just as funny so I was able to get some video footage!

I'm very happy with them and will have a tough time deciding which to order! His little dirty looks crack me up!

Rolling over from back to belly...I finally got some footage!

A few weeks ago, Sunday, February 21st to be exact, Colton successfully rolled over from his back to belly. Over the past couple of weeks he does it every couple of days and unfortunately Chad and I usually miss it which means we've never gotten it on video either. We usually turn around to find him lying on his belly and usually not real happy about it. He pretty much hates his being on his belly. If you remember, back in November and December he could roll over from belly to back but doesn't do that anymore so now he makes it on his belly and is stuck and usually ticked off about it.

Today while playing with him he rolled over about a dozen times. After about the 8th time of rolling over, it occurred to me...GET THE VIDEO CAMERA OUT! Since having a baby my brain doesn't works as well! Although quite tired and in need of a nap, Colton actually performed for the video camera so here is some footage:

5 months old today!

Colton is 5 months old today! It is truly amazing how much faster time goes now that we have a little one. His personality is shining through more and more everyday. He continues to sleep through the night (knock on wood) and is finally starting to settle into longer naps. He loves to talk and sing now too which is so much fun!

Unfortunately Colton's little cold took a turn for the worse. Yesterday I noticed he felt hot and took his temp to find he was running a low grade fever. I took him back to the doctor and sure enough he has a bit of an ear infection in his right which they had warned me could happen. He didn't show any other signs of an ear infection but has definitely lost his appetite in the past 24 hours. I'm hoping the antibiotic kicks in and he is better in no time.

Saturday we took 4 month old pics (better late than never) and he did really good, much better than his Newborn photo shoot. Here is a sneak peek of pics. I will post a link to all of them when the photographer gets them online. He looks very serious in all of these pics but I promise he did do plenty of smiling for the camera. He wasn't too happy about being laid on the cold hardwood floor for the last pic though.
