Happy Valentines Day! (8 Months)

We have had so much snow this winter that every day it snows we look online for houses in Texas.

Colton has never complained though.

We have places to go to entertain ourselves. We love to go to fun antique stores and look at everyone's junk they are selling. It is basically like a garage sale indoors.

 Even though Colton has been eating really good, all he wants to eat is bananas and sweet potatoes. He will eat a whole jar of bananas and sweet potatoes!

If is it anything else he will just rub it all over his face. He looks so funny when he gets it in his eyebrows.

This past weekend we went to Chicago for Valentine's Day. To get ready we went to Sam's Club for snacks. We loved getting samples and Colton loved all our utensils. 

We had such a fun time in Chicago. While our friends went to the temple we went to Ikea! Colton loved looking at everything in that store.

We had such a fun time at the car show the next day, even though it was packed. Tyler knows all the cool cars we saw so you will have to ask him what this car is. My favorite car was the lime green one.

Colton loved to climb all over the cars. When we put him in this truck everyone would walk by and say "oh he is a Ford man already".

Tyler was trying to talk me into getting this Rapter because he said Colton liked it the best.

I can't believe he is 8 months already!

Colton has been super grumpy lately, and today we found out why. He got his first tooth today!

6 and 7 Months

Colton has been seeming really big to us lately. 

Probably because he has been eating cereal....

...drinking from a sippy cup...

...and eating fruits and veggies. We don't really know if he is even swallowing any. 

But it sure does make him happy!

It is a good thing that he can't ear real food yet because I am still learning how to cook. This bread was accidentally left in the oven raising while we went and visited Steve and Tiff for four days. 

Colton turned 6 months over Christmas break. We got into crazy sleeping habits with the time change. 

Now that he is 7 months he is learning how to sleep good again.

We don't really know how with a bum this high in the air though. 

                                 

We have had a really cold winter. So we have to bundle up even when we take out the trash. 

 We find fun things to do like going swimming, track practice at Purdue... 

...and hanging out with our new sister missionaries. 

5 Months

 This Halloween Colton went as a football! 

The day after Halloween we went to Walmart and got some candy and cloths for 50% off. Colton was good back up when fighting people off for the good candy. 

All that candy put hair on his chest...I mean his head.

Fall was only here for a week or two before it got really cold. 

So we went on Campus and got some pictures. 

He was more interested in eating the leafs. 

Our favorite Sister Missionary is leaving this week and we are really sad. 

Getting ready for church. 

This week Colton has been doing to planks in the morning. It is so funny. 

Colton is growing up so fast. He is already 5 Months!

The good thing about getting bigger is he is sleeping really well. He is sleeping almost 12 hours which makes happy parents. 

We love our little bear.

4 Months and Chicago

This past week we decided to go on a road trip to Chicago and go to the temple. Colton was so good all the way there. 

On the way back we did have to stop a few times to get out and walk around. 

 We loved the hotel we stayed in! It had a big warm pool that Colton loved to swim in. It was a good thing that the hotel had a swimming cap for all Colton's hair. 

We stopped by lake Michigan on the way home. 

They had fun boats that we played on. 

We did go to the temple, but didn't get a picture because we each had to take care of our little boy. 

This week Colton is sleeping with his hands out. He takes out his binky and then gets really mad, it is really fun.

It is getting a little chillier here, so when we go for runs we have to rap this little bear up.  

Our 4 month old photo shoot.

He was so funny taking pictures because he would start rocking on the chair. 

We also had to get out the 6 month old cloths, because he is getting so big!

Baptisms, Bath Time, and Bargins

Every Sunday we get together with our friends and invite people from the ward. This week we invited the Sisters over. They are so much fun. 

The Sisters let us go teaching with them when they need us. This week we got to see our friend Brian baptized. It was my first convert baptism. 

Colton's first time feeling the grass. He had the funniest face, and handfuls of grass. 

Colton can spend hours in the tub. He loves his rubber ducky. 

This past week we went to Notre Dame to watch BYU and Purdue run. It was so fun to see my old friends again. I was in half Purdue half BYU clothes, but Colton and Ty were all for Purdue. 

Campus was so beautiful!

Touch Down!

 The first Saturday of every month Good Will has half price on everything! So Colton got a bunch of new cloths for a dollar.
