16 Months

Colton at 16 Months!

I can't believe my baby boy is a little toddler now! He is a complete mess but we just love him sooooo much. Every month just keeps getting better and better. I love watching him discover new things and it's amazing how fast he can pick something up. He is such a happy little boy, although he does have those "Colton" moments. This past month he has thrown a number of temper tantrums when he didn't get his way. However, we are all learning and I am sure that he will as well.
