5 Month Fun Facts

5 months brings lots of "firsts"....and it's only been a week!

1. Colt got his first tooth!!! 

2. We celebrated his great grandpa's 86th birthday

3. First time in your high chair!

4. Started solids...a few days of rice cereal then onto momma's homemade purees. This was Colt's first REAL food....carrots. (Jordan and I think he looks like my dad in this pic.)

5. I finally got to make your baby food! MY NEW FAVORITE STORY: So I was making Colt sweet potato puree. Jordan walks in and asks, "Is that stuff good?" To which I reply, "Heck yeah, it's good. Try it." So he takes a big ol' bite and says, "Ummm! That's how I want my sweet potatoes next time! " So I said, "Hmm, it must be the BREAST MILK!" He started gagging and about died, but, man, I am STILL laughing!!!! HAHAHA

6. First time in a restaurant high chair. Such a big boy!

7. I keep finding you in your crib laying sideways!

8. Colt can hold a rattle.

9. Whatever is in your hand he will reach for it to explore! 

10. Colt loves the baby in the mirror! It's sooo cute!

What a fun first week of 5 months! So much has happened already! I am so in love with Colt it is unbelievable. What I cannot believe is that I will have a 6 month old in a few weeks!! WHAT!?

Signs of a Bad Economy...

So the other day Jordan and I ordered a pizza from Papa Johns. Jordan just loves to eat those peppers that come with the pizza (yuck!). Well, the pizza came, and Jordan took it to the kitchen to plate us up some slices. From the living room I hear, "No way! Well, honey, I guess this is when you know the economy has gotten bad." I walk into the kitchen to see Jordan looking gloomily at that pitiful pepper that came alongside the pizza. We both busted out laughing... and I ran to get my camera!

Fun with Grammy and Pops

Well, I am officially addicted to Facebook and have abandoned by blog till now. Last month Colt and I went to Tennessee for a week. We had a blast seeing everyone and getting to introduce my sweet boy to friends and family. Colt was a trooper the whole week and barely fussed.... which he rarely does anyway. 

Colt got this cute outfit at Elizabeth's shop.

The week we got back from TN mom and dad headed this way. We spent a day at the Arboretum planning to take pics of Haley and Colt together. HA! There is a reason we PAY people to do that! The best pics ended up of them with their Grammy and Pops! Thank goodness we are getting professional pics next month!

Colt was an angel on the plane both ways! The flight attendants LOVED him. One of them thought she should take our picture, which I am so glad she did! Now his first flight is on camera! I was about to wet my pants on the plane and finally decided I better figure out a way to hold him in that TINY restroom before I had an accident, seriously. On my way to the back of the plane this sweet older man goes, "Can I help you out?" I mean, come on, there is no where he could go with Colt! There were only like 30 people on our flight anyway. So I was like, "Really?! Would you hold him for just like 1 minute while I run to the restroom?" He said he'd love to! When I got out the flight attendants had him just cooing and ohhhing over him! It was a hoot! The man goes, "I only had him for like 5 seconds!" 

He REALLY looks like a butterball in this picture!

We went to the Dallas Aquarium and Colt loved looking at the fish in the tunnel.

Mom and I spent a day in Columbia with Cristie, Lola, Elizabeth, Bella, and Mary Kate. We all went to lunch then shopping at Itty Bitty. What a DANGEROUS store! : )

Us with my cousin Kristie....who got me hooked on Facebook!

Kristie's ADORABLE kids: Daniel, Olivia, and my Colt

Papa, Granny, and Colt. Granny is really good at keeping Colt entertained! She keeps me entertained just watching her! : )
