Daddy's Hat

Colton Loves Cody's hat! Well, he really just loves hats! He loves to pull down on the brims and chew on them. He enjoyed wearing his camo hat but now he has discovered how to take it off. He learned that quickly because we would put Cody's hat on him to play and he learned how to pull it off so he could hold it and play with it. I'm sure he is going to love wearing hats just like his Daddy does!

Watch me, I'm going to get that hat off!

See, I told you I would. This brim sure does taste yummy!

I'm ready to go fishing Daddy!! When is our first fishing trip?

6 Month Pictures

We took 6 month pictures of our little man. We set up our own studio in the living room and took pictures. We have been blessed with such a wonderful little boy. We love taking his pictures and we have so much fun doing it.

Such a happy boy!

Let's Rodeo Houston

We took Colton for his first Rodeo experience in March with Uncle Jay & Aunt Shannon. The five of us had a great time walking around the grounds. We didn't go to a show but had a great time walking around. Colton did great and had a great time!

All dressed up in his jeans and button up shirt. This was his first time to sit in the stroller looking out and he really enjoyed it!

Family time at the Rodeo!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! We got Colton a few things for his first Valentine's Day. He now has a blue camo backpack with his name for us to take places and so Dad has a bag to carry instead of our Vera Bradley diaper bag. :)

Colton sent Penguins of Madagascar Valentine's to his friends and teachers at school.

Looking at all of his goodies he got for Valentine's Day from Mommy & Daddy!

First Food!

5 1/2 months old we started baby food. We first started with cereal mixed with breast milk. He did ok with the cereal. He wasn't a huge fan but he would eat a little. He was a little unsure at first but finally figured out what to do with the cereal and spoon. He loves to grab for his spoon!

After he got the hang of eating cereal we introduced stage 1 foods. I heard so many different opinions on what food to introduce first. We went with peas, I figured green is good to start with and peas have a kind of sweet taste. Well... he was not a fan at all!! We got a few bites and then he realized he wasn't a big fan. Tears were rolling down his face, luckily Uncle Jay was there and he came over and made noises to try and make him happy.

We tried all the different stage 1 fruits and vegetables and he had no allergic reaction. He did really well with all of the foods except for the green beans and peas. After many feedings we started mixing the food with his cereal, this helped and he was finally getting used to the green veggies.
