January 10 - 16, 2010

Colton turned 8 months old this week. To show his growth I included some earlier photos. Enjoy!

We are trying sippy cups with Colton. He can't figure out that he needs to suck harder to get the water out than he does with his bottle, but he certainly can hold the cup.

Colton loves to dance with Daddy.

I can't tell you how entertained Colton is in his exer saucer. He loves it!!!

This is how I found Colton when I went to wake him up. He loves to cover his face with his blanket...I think he's like his Mommy, he needs to it be completely dark to sleep.

This picture is from June, when Colton was just about a month old. He's wearing his cute alligator robe.

This picture of Colton in his robe was late August. It fits him a little better :).

This picture was taken on Wednesday. Boy how he's grown!!

Uncle Andy Pics

Uncle Andy, Eric's brother, took some great shots of Colton over Christmas while we were in Florida. Enjoy!

Colton smiles and laughs all the time now....I love it!

Pondering life...

What a cutie! I love his dimples.

Colton loves to have something/anything in his mouth 24/7.

What a great smile!

I think this is my favorite.

Andrew captured Colt perfectly....sticking out his tongue and drooling like crazy!

Colton never minded Andrew taking his picture, in fact I think he reveled in it.

Again....this is Colton's little personality coming through loud and clear.

We bought Colton this toy that plays classical music and bright colors....he loved it.

Great picture of Colton studying his new toy.

Colton is definitely pondering something here.

Daddy and Colt in the pool while it down poured on them.

Colton loved these dive toys and refused to let go of them, even while sleeping.

Daddy and Colt in hot tub.

Colton just being adorable.

Colton absolutely loved the pool and would whine when we got him out. I think I'll have to get him swimming lesson this summer :).

Colton is so fun. His little personality is really starting to come out, as you can see in the pictures. Enjoy!

Colton started to put his binkie in his mouth like this. It's funny how often he does it now. Colton definitely has a "funny" side to him.

Colton loves Mommy's jewelry. Whenever I wear a necklace, bracelet, watch, even my wedding rings, Colton tries to get his mouth on it.
01-05-10

This is Colton's little piano that he loves. But as I said before, Colton loves to put his mouth on anything and everything right now....that includes his piano. I tried to get a picture of him holding it up to his mouth but he would put it down before the picture was snapped.
01-06-10

Colton would literally play on his piano and then put it up to his mouth.

Colton had been ready for bed and was playing with his little doggie when he simply fell asleep....too cute.

This week we left Florida and ushered in Colton's first New Year. It has been a wonderful two weeks with our precious son and, as parents, we are grateful that we have been able to spend it with family and friends.

Colton feel asleep in the pool. He's holding on tightly to his dive toys that he loved to suck on.

December 20 - 26, 2009

This is the week of Colton's first Christmas. Colton is very lucky that he was able to spend the holidays with all three sets of his grandparents, who love him very much.

We brought our gifts to Colton to Utah with us for him to open there. He loves his new Gloworm.
12-20-09

Hmm, the paper looks a little more interesting than the present itself.
12-20-09

Colton got a lot of fun gifts, yet he's more interested in the box that one of them came in than the gift itself.

On our way back to Vegas. Colton showing Daddy that he's willing to fight for his shake at In-n-Out!

This picture was taken at 4:00 am at the airport. We headed to Florida this morning. It was a very long day and Colton did awesome, as usual. Colton also got his second tooth this day.

We were all sitting down to dinner and for the first time, Colton actually fell asleep in his highchair....too funny!

Colton and Daddy swimming in Grandpa and Grandma Gant's pool on Christmas Eve...it's crazy that it was warm enough for them...Colton loves the water, absolutely loves it.
12-24-09

I found this cute Santa outfit and it was the hit of the night. Colton has a thing for tags. Here he is examining the tag on a Santa doll.
12-24-09

I love this picture. Colton looks like he is getting caught doing something that he shouldn't.

12-24-09

Hmmm, I think I'll try and eat the present.

Colton is purely exhausted at this point from all the fun that he's had so far in Florida with his Gant and Schrage family around.

Colton started to clap on Christmas day. Here he shows how well he can do it.
