10 things we love to do at 10 months!

Colton seems to get more and more fun the older he gets. Here are our top 10 funnest things we did while 10 months old!

1. Easter was this month! I was feeling crazy at Walmart and got 88 cent eggs for Easter. They are so good to eat and fun to carry around the house. 

 For Easter Sunday we went to my cousin Traci's house. She was so nice and gave Colton some bubbles. Colton did not know what to think about the bubbles, he carefully popped them one by one with his finger. 

2. Now that we have 2 teeth we have to brush them every day. Whenever I want to get ready in the bathroom I will sit Colton on the counter and he will sit there and brush his teeth forever. 

3. Colton's favorite toy are these orange ear plugs. He will carry them in his hands all around the house. He should hold a world record for how many he can fit into his tiny hands.

His second favorite toy is paper. He will rip a piece of paper till their is nothing left. 

4. We also love having BBQ's now that it is getting warmer and warmer outside. Our apartment has a grill and some benches where we can eat at. 

5. We love it when we get visitors! Cody, Kylee, and Livy were so nice to come visit us! They kept Colton entertained for hours. He never laughs at us as hard as he does playing with these kids.

6. We love to shop for things that we can buy when we are rich. Here I made Colton try on all the sweet Nike shoes that cost way more than my shoes. But it is still fun to try them on. 

7. Colton loves to take out everything in my pants drawer and in our ottoman.

8. I love to go out to eat. Our new favorite place is called the HuHot. It is an all you can eat Mongollian grill. You choose everything you want down to the sauce and they grill it right in front of you. 

9. After we get really messy from dinner we take a bath. He learned how to splash the other day so Tyler and I have to be careful to stay out of the splash zone.

10. The last fun thing we love to do is water our small garden. It is my goal to eat one thing out of everything we planted. We planted spinach, lettuce, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro from seeds. So i hope at least one out of those seven will work out.

Then when our little monkey goes to bed Tyler and I make yummy treats! We tried Raquel's favorite recipe last night. We did half the dough with Heath chips and the other half chocolate chips. We decided to do the whole bag of chocolate chips for the other half just so we would not waste any chocolate. 

9 Months and Grandma Tammy

A lot has happened this month, but by far the best thing was getting a visit from Grandma Tammy. It is always a party when she comes!

Grandma taught us a lot of new things while she was here. She showed me how to eat without getting messy.

How to play games.

How the wheels on the bus go round and round.

And how to be silly while the parents are napping.

We had big plans and lots of projects, so we went to Hobby Lobby and Goodwill for supplies.

We are forever grateful to Raquel for sending us the recipe for these yummy granola bars. We may have made them 3 times already this week. I love the Heath side and Tyler likes the chocolate chip side.

This was another one of our fun projects. It is still undecided where it is going to go in our house though.

When Grandma comes you can always count on a lot of pictures, which we are so grateful for.

You need three people for measuring Colton's height. One to mark, the other to hold, and the third to take the picture.

We took Grandma to our favorite places to eat in Lafayette. Triple XXX was the first place. 

We all got the classic peanut butter burger which was better than it sounds.

The best part is the fun atmosphere. This was right before Colton threw up all over Tyler and me. 

But the best place for burgers in our opinion is Culver's for some butter burgers!

This month Tyler turned 27!

So we celebrated a little early and had our big birthday party at the zoo.

 Colton's favorite animal was the fish.

Tyler's favorite was the sharks and getting to pet them.

And my favorite was the crazy looking flamingo's.

We saved you all the trouble of going to the zoo because this was about all the animals that were out in the winter. It was still fun to get out in the sun!

Next to the zoo was a butterfly and garden park. We got to hold one of them! 

Overall it was a fun birthday party at the zoo.

It took us till one of the last days that Grandma was here to see Tyler's lab that he works at.

 Don't forget your safety goggles!

After that we went for a spin on campus.  

And got to see where Tyler goes to class. Thanks for the fun weekend Grandma Tammy!

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!
