Oh Baby 10 Months!

I can't believe it, my little baby is 10 months old!  He's going to be a year before we know it.  They really do grow so fast.  He's changed so much in the past few months.  He's crawling and pulling himself up, he still smiles with a big proud smile every time he does it.  



I feel like he's going to talk any day now.  He will often get the first letter of the word.  Example… I'm "Mmm", Chris is "Ddd", and the dog is "Ggg".  He responds well to his name, "no", and "shh".  We are even starting to work on colors, right now we are working on blue and red.

He has started dancing (its really more like bouncing) when music comes on.  And he moves his mouth like his trying to sing along.  It's so adorable!  He is always smiling and laughing, he's a very happy baby.

I see so much of me in him.  He looks more like Chris, but he seems to have more of my personality and temperament.  It takes him a little while to warm up to people, and is shy especially in new situations.  He would love to be held all day if we let him, and loves to snuggle.  He is very curious, and likes to watch people.  He loves to watch Chris do every day tasks such as make the bed and wash the dishes.

We have finished with baby food, and are now on all finger food (and bottles for two more months).  He really loves cheese, strawberries, and mushrooms.  I'm really enjoying the finger food stage, I can actually get stuff done while he's eating.  Only stuff in the kitchen, but still.





















I'm still learning a lot with my new camera, but loving it so much!!!

Merry Christmas

I know I'm a few weeks late, but Merry Christmas!  One of the advantages from having such a large family is that we have several "Christmas" celebrations.  And we have another one coming up this weekend.

Our actual Christmas day celebration was a little crazy, we were supposed to go to my Mother-in-Law's house, but they were sick so everyone came to our house.  This was decided on Christmas Eve, so not a lot of prep time on my part, but everyone pitched in and we had a really great time!


Plus…I got a new camera for Christmas (thank you Chris).  I have been wanting a DSLR for years, and I'm so excited!!  I've taken like a million pictures so far :)




















We decorated Christmas Cookies as ugly Christmas sweaters :)

 I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Blog Facelift

Stay tuned….this blog is getting a serious facelift!!!

My New Years resolution is to blog more.  As I look at how much Colton has grown and changed over the past 10 months (he's 10 months old!) I wish I would have documented everything better.

I also wish I would have documented my pregnancy better….oh well….live and learn ;)
