Happy Halloween!

Well, Colton's first Halloween was pretty uneventful. He was asleep by 7:00!! Oh well, I am sure that next year he will be able to enjoy the festivities a little more. 

Here's Aunt Mona!

Colton was very excited to meet his Aunt Mona. Now that she lives in Georgia too, I am sure we'll see a lot more of her, Jay and Jacob. 

Colton really enjoyed meeting his cousin Jacob!

Jacob and Colton had a great time at lunch. Colton knocked over Westley's tea and Jacob fell off his chair. Luckily, there was no real damage. Lots of excitement though! Mealtime is always an adventure with kiddos! :) 

Colton & GranDebbie

We had a lovely lunch in LaGrange, GA with GranDebbie, Aunt Mona, Jay and Cousin Jacob. Colton loves meeting family! 

Bathtime for BeeBoo

Here is Colton getting ready for his bath. You can also see how Daddy painted the bathroom. He did a wonderful job. 

Lemme wear that hat, Dad!

Colton doesn't realize how stinky that hat is... 

Colton has khaki-colored eyes

I don't particularly think this picture looks anything like my son, but you can really see his eyes well. They have not changed in color too much since he was born. They look khaki to me. Any other guesses??? 

The "Gobble and Go Hippo" is a success!

It's so cute to watch Colton try to walk with this new toy. It "eats" the peek-a-boo blocks that are littering our living room floor. Maybe this will be a precursor to him vacuuming the carpet soon. :) 

Look, Ma! One hand!

Colton is very close to standing up on his own. He teases all the time by standing up and holding onto the table. What a big boy!

Here's my little puppy

What a sweet boy. 

Happy (almost) Halloween!

I had to do a trial run-through of Colton's Halloween costume. Depending on the weather, this may be it. It's a dog (I think! It is blue with ears but who knows). If it is too warm, he shall be a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2026 in his Aggie outfit and ball cap. We'll see! 

He loves to feed himself

Colton loves to put the full spoon in his mouth and eat the contents, but he isn't too good at putting the spoon back in the baby food jar...  

Hello I am Huggable!

Colton is indeed "Huggable" as his shirt plainly states. He is also "Snuggable", "Irresistible", and "Adorable" on other outfits. His Dada thinks he should also have "Irritable" based on his crankiness last week. Teething is still in full force. Ugh.

Congratulations to the Hargraves!

On Tuesday, October 18th, Kristy and Chad Hargrave welcomed their new addition! Yes, Catelyn Grace Hargrave was born at 8:22 A.M. by C-section. Word is that she is precious and that the whole family is already in love with her, especially big sister Caroline!

We can't wait to meet her!

I make this face when I am upset

OK, Colton is a very happy baby 99% of the time. This is the face that he makes once in a blue moon. Unfortunately, all this face does is elicit laughter and a smile from his Dada and me. I think it's hysterical.

Hmmm...Something tells me that it's more fun in the Exersaucer than under the Exersaucer! Colton also found an old Cheerio and enjoyed it immensely.  

One of my favorite books. I especially like the part when the itsy bitsy spider climbs up the spout again.  

He is so excited!  

I liked this pic too.. 

Colton is eating like a pro. I think he might even be gaining a little weight. Yippee! 

My little fashion plate in his Polo Rugby shirt! 

Colton was a little apprehensive about his first avocado experience, but he really liked it! Like mother, like son. YUMMY! 

Happy 8 months, Colton! He's just hanging out in his overalls.
