• First Haircut this month!! Did great because Nana let him spray her with the water bottle in order to keep him still.

• He can now point to almost every animal, truck, fruit, etc. on all of his puzzles. We have been working on this the past few weeks and it's amazing how fast he picks it up.



• He doesn't like bugs. At church they have a bug puzzle and he will not touch the pieces of the puzzle. The other day I had a bottle of any spray in the laundry room on the shelf and he would take me in there and point at the ant and say "ugg". (I think he is going to be like his daddy with bugs and not be too fond of them)

Colton,
You are growing up way too fast for mommy and daddy! You started school this month and you are doing so good. We've had a few bad days (you don't like to share with your friends) but other than that you love all the activities at school. You especially love the gym and you go running through it wide open in the morning time when I drop you off. I'm soooo proud of you little man! You are also improving everyday with your speech. You still get frustrated at times, but you are finally starting to communicate with us more. We love to hear your precious voice say "bye bye" and I love going over the ABC's in the car with you. You are so smart!! You also had your first haircut this month. Yes, it was hard seeing those precious curls get cut, but you still have curly hair and you look so much like your daddy now. Since daddy gets off early in the afternoons, you two have become best buds over the past few weeks. You simply adore your daddy but you still love to snuggle and be comforted by mommy. Colton, it's been a blessing watching you change and grow over the past few months. I love experiencing the new milestones with you and helping you along the way. Maybe within the next few weeks we can conquer potty training together. What do you think?? Love yo so much little man!!
Mommy
