Colton Michael

3 weeks/4 days

i am getting to be such a big boy!

colton is changing so fast, too fast. some times i really miss him being so new and little. he has outgrown most of his newborn clothes and is on to the big world of 0-3 months. we are in a size 1 diaper, and we are taking 4 oz of formula every 3-4 hours. coltons sleeping habits are pretty decent, at night we get about 4 hours in between changing and feeding. colton loves to look at lights and to play/stretch out on his back. he started cooing and batting at some toys/rattles. i cherish every moment i have with him.

this past weekend, josh's parents babysat colton and treated us to a movie. we went to see Four Christmases. it was pretty funny, josh and i really enjoyed it. thanks mimi and granddaddy!

we are staying at my folks house for a few days while some work is being done at our place (painting and water damage repair). we will wait to replace the flooring until after Christmas, i am so ready to get my decorations up.

tomorrow, my moms golf girls are hosting a "sip and see" for colton. i can't wait to show him off! from there we are headed to the tigers game, it will be colton's 3rd game!

my friend jenny (been friends since middle school) is scheduled to deliver a baby boy, evan on wednesday. please pray for her and her family. jenny has twin boys that are 7, i am sure this will be quite an adjustment for them! another friend, jennifer, delivered a baby boy-charlie on the 21. they are home and seem to be adjusting well. coley is so lucky to have so many new friends!

i love surprises

the meier's had all gathered at the ware's for our final thanksgiving celebration of 08. jay came through the door with a present for tammi.

and inside the box...
was a 7 week old Yorkie, jack.

bath time!

it was finally time for a bath, and colton was not happy about it!

"get me outta here!"

calmed down quite a bit!

" i'm hungry and cold, are we done yet?"

we have a had another bath since then and it went much better! this one was with his tub in the kitchen sink, uncomfortable for me and him. from now on i will put his tub in my tub. i hope he learns to love bath time!

go state, or not!

well, just because we love our uncle joshie and aunt elana so much--we wore this shameful outfit yesterday! we even watched most of the slaughtering--i mean game... theres always next year!
colton was really into the game!

so alert!

our babysitter

rocko, our official babysitter, making sure colton is ok!

we pay him with dog biscuits!
they were napping together!

like father, like son

this is one of josh's outfits from when he was a baby. it barely snapped around his fat neck. josh wore it for a portrait at 3 weeks, he was skinnier than colton! maybe one day, i will figure out how to post the pic of josh wearing the outfit.
