I love to talk!

Colt has found his voice! He loves to talk and giggle! He has also decided that he likes the taste of his thumb. His head control is improving and he is beginning to like his bumbo chair (thanks Grandma Pam!) Colt is really getting interested in his toys. He plays with them and talks to them as well. He seems to be doing well at day care. Last week his teacher told us that he was laughing at the older kids when they came over to him. He is making friends fast.

3 months

Colt is getting so big! He is smiling all the time and starting to giggle every now and then. We figured out that he has refulx so he is on medication and will hopefully be feeling better soon. He is constantly spitting up which keeps the washing machine busy! He went to daycare last week and did very well, better than I did. The last picture of us is after his first day, we were both exhausted! He has the flu, so I kept him home with me today. We have been watching lots of tv (he is a tv junkie!) and taking naps together on the couch, my favorite thing to do with him.

11 Weeks

Colt has been busier than ever. He had his 2 month well check a couple of weeks ago. He weighed 13.6 lbs and was 23 1/4 inches! That puts him in the 85th percentile for weight and the 55th percentile for height. He doesn't miss a meal! He also got four shots which he wasn't very thrilled about!

He had his first lunch date with friend Hudson and his mom Austyn. He was very well behaved, we had a great time. Yesterday Colt attended his first birthday party. His friend James turned 4 years old. As soon as we got there he puked on James' mom Sara! Hopefully we will be invited over again!

I am headed back to work on Thursday so my mom is coming to babysit. The following week Colt will start daycare twice a week! We are a little nervous, especially since he constantly wants to be held and won't nap unless you are holding him. Maybe his new friends will teach him some good habits.

8 Weeks

Colt is busy getting big! We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Colt proved to be a great traveler and did wonderful despite traveling over 1200 miles. We spent a few days in Bridgeport and Scottsbluff and then traveled to York for a quick stay with Mike's family.

The weather has been so nice this weekend that we decided it was time for Colt to meet the horses. He wasn't quite sure what to think!

5 Weeks Old

Our wonderful neighbors Doug and Aimee invited Colt to come over and give Santa his list on Sunday. He slept through the whole thing!

Colt had his one month check up and now is 10lbs 8oz and growing! He still gets up about every two hours to eat during the night; we hope he starts sleeping longer soon!

3 Weeks Old

Colt is 3 weeks and getting so big! He is more alert and getting such a personality! He loves to be held and wakes up the second you try to put him to to bed. He loves to be held when Daddy gets home from work and immediately goes to sleep once he is in Mike's arms! If only he would sleep during the day for Mom! He seems to enjoy bath time unless he is getting hungry.

Two Weeks Old

Colt went on his first road trip to York, NE for Thanksgiving. It was quite a trip; Mike and I are still recovering! Colt got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa Christensen, Great Aunt Paula, and Great Aunt Kathy. He can't wait to see them all again soon! Colt still has his days and nights a little confused, but is such a good baby. He doesn't make much noise unless he is hungry. Colt had another great check-up at Dr. Yannette's. He is now 8lbs 4oz and 21 inches long.
