Backyard Fun on the 4th of July!

Chris, Colton and I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Chris was home Friday, so we all headed to town to do some shopping and to eat lunch at McAlisters Deli. Colton was wonderful the entire afternoon! We got a new umbrella stroller at Target and Colton loves to ride in it. He hates to ride in the other stroller, so now I'm actually looking forward to shopping trips with him more often. We decided on a pizza for dinner and Colton loved it as well! He is starting to be such a good eater! He will now try pretty much anything that we are eating.

Saturday, Chris had to sing in Phenix City at a 4th of July Singing, so Colton and I just stayed at the house and played outside all morning long. We finally decided to head over to Nana and Big Daddy's house Saturday afternoon to go swimming. Colton loved that idea! He loves to go swimming and he actually thinks that he is swimming by himself. He kicks his legs and arms the whole time he is in the water and he just smiles the entire time. We let him go under water a few times this weekend and he looks like a little fish swimming under water. He holds his breath when he goes under and just smiles so big when he comes up out of the water. I've never seen a baby swim like he can, it's amazing!! Mom cooked dinner
Saturday night and it was sooooo yummy!! BBQ Ribs, Squash, Potatoes, Corn and Cole Slaw!

Sunday morning, we headed to church for Sunday School. Poor Colton hates his Sunday School Class and starts screaming as soon as I walk in the door to the classroom. I didn't think I was going to be able to leave him in there because he was so upset, but Mrs. Cally came to the rescue and calmed Colton down so that I could go to my Sunday School Class. Hopefully this will get better. He is going through a phase where he wants mommy and daddy all the time! I love it at times, but it can be frustrating. I'm looking at putting him in a Mom's Morning Out Program this fall, so hopefully that will help. Cross your fingers for us!

Here are a few pictures from this past weekend. We all had so much fun!!

So much fun!

Playing outside on the 4th. Yes, I know he doesn't match but I didn't want him to get sunburned.


Just a swinging...

Checking out the sprinkler...Thinking if he should go play in it...

He decided to play in it after a while.

Playing with his water table.

He loves this dump truck!

Time to go inside?
