ABC's of Summer

A is for Airplanes..... Colton loves airplanes! Since we leave so close to an airport we see at least one every day and if we are outside he points at the airplanes when they fly over. He can hear them from a mile away!

B is for Blueberry..... Colton and I went to pick blueberries over at Uncle Dwayne's and Aunt Janice's house a few times this summer.

C is for Corn on the Cob..... One of his favorite things to eat this summer was corn on the cob! He can tear up a piece of corn in no time!

D is for Daddy..... Colton spent a ton of time this summer with daddy while mommy was at work. If Daddy was home during the week, the two of them usually stayed at the house all day, playing inside and going for afternoon walks around the neighborhood.

E is for Eating Snacks..... Colton loved eating his afternoon snacks and drinking his juice while watching his cartoons. His favorite snacks this summer were: vanilla wafers, cheese puffs, animal crackers, and gold fish.

F is for Fountains..... Nana and I took Colton this summer to the fountains that they have around town. He wasn't very sure about them but I bet that he will love them next summer!

G is for Granny and Paw..... Chris' parents keep Colton during the day when he is out of town and when I have to work. We are so blessed that they are able to keep him for us and I know that they cherish every single moment with him.

H is for Hot Weather..... We've had some hot weather in Tuscaloosa this summer! We're ready for Fall to get here!

I is for Ice..... Colton is just like his mommy and loves ice! He loves to get a piece out of a cup and chew it up. He also likes for me to put ice in his sippy cup so that he can shake it up and hear the ice.

J is for Jessica..... My sweet and beautiful cousin Jessica got engaged at the end of the summer! We are so happy for her and Scott and I'm so excitied about helping her with all the wedding planning.

K is for Kisses..... Colton loves to give kisses!

L is for Lounging..... Colton loves to lay around and watch cartoons with Daddy and Mommy

M is for Millie..... Colton loves to play with Millie. He loves to give her treats and to throw her the ball. I caught him one time this summer giving her about 5 treats out of her treat box.

N is for Nana and Big Daddy..... Colton loves spending time with his Big Daddy and Nana. We've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with them this summer when Chris was on the road singing.

O is for Outside..... Colton loves to play outside. If we let Millie outside and we don't let Colton go play outside he will cry and throw a fit.

P is for Pacifier..... We took Colton's pacifier away from him at the end of the summer. It was much easier than I had thought it would be.

Q is for Quack Quack..... We were surprised this summer when we walked outside and saw three ducks in our front yard and flower bed.

R is for Rocking Horse..... He loves the Rocking Horse that was Big Daddy's when he was a little boy.


S is for Sand..... In June, Big Daddy and I took Colton down to Orange Beach to meet Nana for the weekend. He stood by himself for the first time on the sand during this trip. He hated it and after a while he wanted me to hold him. Hopefully next year he will like it better.

T is for Teeth..... Colton loves to brush his own teeth! (Or chew on the toothbrush)


U is for Umbrellas..... We saw a ton of umbrellas at the beach this year.

V is for Vacation!!! We were lucky enough to go on vacation last week with my parents, my brother Rob and his wife Valerie to Orange Beach, AL. It was so nice to be away from everything and to just spend every day relaxing at the pool or at the beach. Colton loved being able to swim every single day!

W is for Water..... He loves to play in the water!

X is for ????? I couldn't come up with anything!

Y is for Yogurt..... We took Colton to TCBY in July for the first time. He loved his vanilla cone!


Z is for Zoo..... Chris and I took Colton to the zoo in June. He loved it! He waved to all the animals and his favorite animal was the flamingos.
