What a fun week we had with Colton. He took his second plane ride (sicker than a dog), had two Thanksgiving dinners and enjoyed time with both Grandparents on Eric's side. He's getting so big....we kept hearing over and over this week what a little man he is! Enjoy!

A bath picture to show you how much Colton has grown. He's nearly out of his little bath tub and he loves to play now, splashing water everywhere!

The two best looking guys around! We had planned to take our Christmas family picture this night but when we got to the photographer Colton cried and cried...he had been sick with a nasty cold for over a week and it had finally got into his chest. Needless to say I stayed home the next day and we were a little nervous about our flight that night. He did awesome anyways, even with being the sickest he's ever been!

Colton showing off his Big Boy car seat....this thing is HUGE! This was right before we took off for a three-hour plane ride. What a great traveler we have.

Thanksgiving day was spent with Grandma and Grandpa Schrage and Grandma Barb's side of the family. This is a four generation picture with Colton, Eric, Barb and Grandma Wedeking, who is 92 years old!

Colton was completely tuckered out by his first Thanksgiving! He fell asleep on the short car ride to the hotel and stayed asleep even after we got him out of the car. He's bundled up pretty good due to the cold, cold weather in Indy. Needless to say, he hasn't had the opportunity to wear either his new coat or beanie in Vegas.

Everytime we come to Indy we meet up with Eric's oldest friend (since he was 3), Mikey, at Dave and Buster's. We had great food, awesome company, and then played fun games til our hearts content and until we had enough tickets to buy our boy more Colt's gear (last picture).

On Saturday we headed to Logansport for our second Thanksgiving dinner, this time with Grandma and Grandpa Gant and their whole family. Uncle Andy came in from LA and couldn't wait to see his adorable newphew :).

Eric has three cousins who all had babies from one to three months of Colton. Colton is the only boy so fo course he flirted like crazy with each of them. This cutie is five weeks older than Colton and couldn't stop smiling at him (it went both ways)!

This is Colt's country, here in Indiana. We found this cute pj at JCPenny and couldn't resist it. The other Colts gear are the prizes we bought with all of the tickets we won at Dave and Buster's. What a great trip this was!
