1 1/2 years old!

It's hard for me to believe that Colton is already 1 1/2!  My baby boy is growing up so quickly! He had his 18 month well check this week and he now weighs 23 1bs 13 ozs (50th percentile) and is 31.75 inches tall (25th percentile) (He wasn't very cooperative during his height measurement so that may be a little off.) He is right on track with everything developmentally and besides catching colds, he is a healthy boy. 

Colton loves playing with trucks, cars, trains and anything his big brother is playing with. He does everything and anything that his big brother does and the two of them are very cute together. Of course, I have to watch Colton like a hawk to make sure he doesn't get hurt:) He climbs on everything and loves playing outside. He likes to watch Mickey Mouse, Thomas and Blaze. He loves reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Little Blue Truck and we read together every night. 

He is a really good eater. He loves macaroni and cheese, goldfish crackers and applesauce but will really eat most anything. He's an amazing sleeper. (Both boys are and I am so thankful for that!)

He says lots of words and will repeat almost anything you ask him to (some things are much easier to understand than others:)) He knows all of his body parts and can tell you the sound and name of most animals. 

He's doing great in his toddler class at school and plays well with the other kids in his class. Grant (Gant as Colton says) is definitely his best friend though!

He is a very sweet, happy, and healthy little boy and can seriously melt your heart with his sweet, sweet smile. I couldn't be more thankful for my two boys.

 Cold but cute:) Love these two so much!

Happy Halloween!

We had lots of protection this Halloween from Power Ranger and Batman! The boys couldn't have had more fun on Halloween! Grant and Colton both had a Halloween party at school and then Grant went on a field trip trick-or-treating in downtown Belmont and out to eat lunch.

MaMaw, PaPaw and MiMi came over to celebrate on Halloween night and to help give out candy. The boys had lots of fun trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and of course we gave out tons of candy! Our neighbors had a fire and Grant loved eating smores. The rain held off until we had finished all of the festivities. It was a really great Halloween!
My Superheroes:)

Power Ranger!
Batman!

These two had so much fun!
The boys with our neighbor, Kate. Kate and Grant are great friends!
Trick-or-treating fun!
Colton was such a big kid! He walked our entire neighborhood carrying his bucket and didn't want any help!




Grant loves giving out candy


Happy Halloween!
