I can't believe Colton is almost a year and a half. The months are flying by and it's sad knowing that my little boy is growing up way too fast! He is such a joy to be around and Chris and I love every minute with him. I really don't remember what it was like without him in our life. These days, he is entering into the terrible twos and mommy and daddy have our hands full! (At some times, I believe daddy wants to pull his hair out) He loves to play with everything that is not a toy and will throw a fit whenever he doesn't get his way. We are learning new things every day! He has a hard time communicating because he hasn't started talking yet, but hopefully soon he will learn a few words. We adore him soooo much and are looking forward to seeing what he learns within the next month.
Highlights from the past month:
- His favorite toys this past month: Thomas the Train Tent, Bull Dozier and Dump Truck, Veggie Tale Book
- His favorite cartoons this month: Sid the Science Kid, Veggie Tales
- His favorite foods this month: Applesauce, Popsicles, Crackers (He was not a very good eater this month)
- He loves the following songs: Old Mac Donald, How Much is that Doggy in the Window
- He had two ear infections this month. We had our first appointment with the ENT (Dr. Lake) on September 18th, and we are scheduling to have tubes put in his ear in a month or so. Hopefully this will help with the ear infections and will help with him talking as well.
- When we tell him we are going somewhere or when we walk out of a room, he waves "bye, bye".
- He got two more teeth (lower cuspids)
- He has started brushing his teeth in the morning and at night. He gets so excited when I hand him his toothbrush. Mommy sings: "Brush, Brush, Brush your teeth, Brush them all day long" and he loves it!
- He loves to give sugar and "high five".
- He has figured out how to climb into the rocking chair and the living room chairs.
- He has mastered drinking out of a straw sippy cup, but he still prefers the regular sippy cup over the straw one.
- He loves to explore!
- He is still not talking.
- He screams every time he sees himself in the mirror. It is so cute!
- He continues to test us everyday!! We are trying to find the perfect discipline system for our house. We have tried time out (he still doesn't understand) and spanking on the hand (he just laughs). Hopefully soon, we will find something that works for us!
- He started Preschool this month and is doing great! He is only going 2 times a week, from 8:30 until noon and he loves getting to play with all of his friends.
- He loves to spin himself around and around, making himself dizzy.
- He loves to snuggle!
- He hates to have cover over him when he is sleeping.
- He tosses and turns in the bed when he is sleeping more than anybody I have ever seen. He constantly kicks and moves around in the bed. He usually gets up around 5:30am, so Chris and I let him get in the bed with us. Chris and I have both gotten kicked in the head by him, so needless to say we are going to put a stop to him snuggling with us in the morning.
- Weighs 29.6 pounds (lost .8 ounces)
- 34 inches long
- He wears size 4 diapers, is in 12-24 month, and some 2T clothing and wears a size 6W shoe
- His Daily Schedule: Wake up around 7am, Breakfast @ 8am, Plays and watching cartoons , lunch around noon, Nap Time until maybe 3pm, Dinner around 6pm, Bath Time @ 7:30pm, Bedtime @ 8pm.
