This is the missing week of pictures. I'm so happy that we found the camera and have these pictures to complete his year of pictures. Enjoy these cute pictures of our little guy.

September 27 - October 3, 2009

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

Yeah, I found our missing camera! It was in our extra bedroom that we NEVER go into so it didn't even occur to me to check the room (the door is always shut). I was jumping for joy when I saw it sitting on the chest of drawers! Here are the rest of the pictures from last week. I will update the week before and this week this weekend. I'm off to return the other camera that I bought while our original camera was taking a vacation. By the way, there is no picture from September 30 because this is the day that we realized the camera went missing.

I'm hungry Mom! Colton opens his mouth wide after each spoonful just to tell me that he's ready for more!

Daddy started softball again. Colton goes to bed by 7:30 or 8:00. Daddy's games either start at 6:30 or 8:30. Needless to say we'll only be making the 6:30 games.

This week was a sad one in the fact that we have lost/misplaced our camera. The last picture we took was on Tuesday night at Eric's softball game and we hadn't been able to find it since then. Luckily I had downloaded all of the pictures to my computer excluding the previous week. I had been so busy with work that I hadn't had time to post those pictures, which is a complete bummer! As soon as we had looked high and low and couldn't find the camera I went and bought another one so we could continue our goal of taking a picture a day for Colton's first year of life. The following pictures are from Thursday on for this week.

Colton sitting up and sucking on his hand. He started teething last week and now he wants everything in him mouth!

September 13 - 19, 2009

This week was started by Colton turning 4 months old! He also saw the doctor and got more shots :(....he only cried for 15 seconds this time, not bad. Colton started rolling on his side a lot more this week and even rolling all the way over to his tummy. He loves to be sat up and to play with his new toys that Mommy and Daddy got him. Colton is also in the phase of grabbing our faces and exploring our mouths (inside and out)! He is the cutest kid out there (we are a tad biased)!

Celebrating the Colts first season game and a win! Colton is a mini Eric as you can see.

Colton had a fever and was not himself this day. He had gotten his immunization shots the day before and he had a fever from them. Colton weighed 17 lbs and 6 oz and was 27 inches long which is in the 95 percentile...this kid is going to be tall!
9/18/09

Mommy's day with Colton. Eric went to Dallas to visit some friends and go to the UFC fight. He was only gone for a day and a half but we both missed him dearly. Colton had fun with his piano as you can see.

Colton loves the piano! He's a natural!

September 6 - 12, 2009

I realized that this week could be considered the "Highchair" week. We started the week still in Oklahoma visiting the grandparents. When we returned, Colton started eating real baby food....peas, carrots, etc. He's still not sure what to think about it. :)

Eating some yummy oatmeal cereal.

Colton went swimming in Grandma and Grandpa Schrage's pool for over an hour. When I went to start his bath water he feel alseep. I wrapped him up in a blanket and he was out for an hour....sleeping in his swimsuit.

Bath time with Daddy. I had our first home football game that I had to work so Eric bathed Colton all by himself. Getting so big!

CARROTS! I think he liked carrots a little more than the peas.

Colton loves to talk.....just a small sample of what we get to hear daily....I love it!

Each week gets more fun with Colton. He starting laughing this week and found out that he loves to dance with Daddy (video to come). Colton is getting stronger and stronger as well. Check out the pacifier incident below.
