Here are a few random pictures from the last couple of weeks. Things are good here. Colt is obsessed with the vacuum. That is all that he wants to play with right now. I bought him a toy one, but he still wants the real one. He pushes it around the house all day long. He is really talking well. Every morning I hear him say, "Momma, are you?" on the monitor. I go in to get him and he tells me hi and to turn on his light. He is doing really well in his big boy bed. He still rolls out of it every once in awhile. He is getting his 2 year molars so he has been a little cranky this week. His Geema and Grandpa Mo are coming to visit this weekend so he is getting really excited.

Colt had so much fun in NE. He insisted on carrying his own bag at the airport and screamed every time I tried to help him. He liked looking out of the window on the plane too. He had a lot of fun playing with his cousins. I think his favorite part of the trip was the gator rides to check the cows. He mooed at them and everything. He kept dragging Geema to the garage to take him on the gator.

These pics are out of order. My little helper is making it somewhat difficult today. Colt has learned to scream, pick his nose, and play in the toilet all this week! He is keeping us very busy. We went to the petting zoo, the KC Zoo, had a a visit from Grandpa Kurt. We are planning on going back to NE for the 4th of July. Colt is really excited to play with all of his cousins.

We have been busy the last few weeks since the weather has been nice. We went to Deanna Rose (petting zoo) and Colt loved it. He really liked running around with the goats. We have also been to the park a few times. Colt spends most of his time going down the slides when we are there. This week we stopped by a friend's house to let their dog out for them and I had to pry Colt off of their son's Cub Cadet power mower toy. He was kicking and screaming, NO, NO, NO! He loved that lawn mower. I am going to have to keep my eye out for one I think. He has been diagnosed with asthma which we treat with a daily inhaler. He is getting better at doing it but still seems to fight it sometimes. He knows that we do two puffs and after the first one he says, "one more, one more." He is so smart. When we are finished he goes and puts it away in the drawer.

Colt's surgery went great on Tuesday. He had a lot of fun riding in the car while we were waiting to go back to the OR. When we met back up with him in the recovery room he was being rocked by a volunteer and he was playing with her hair. They said that was the first thing he did when he woke up. He was a little cranky for the rest of the afternoon but he is back to his old self. We are hoping to be done with surgeries for awhile.

We had a great Easter with my mom. We went to an Easter egg hunt and Colt loved it. He rode all the way there with his Easter basket on his head. (I promise I didn't put it there!) He cried when all the eggs were gone and ran around the botanical garden like a maniac.

Colt has been keeping us busy! He LOVES to play outside and really likes to watch the horses. He talks non-stop, mostly telling me no, but continues to learn new words every day. He still prefers to play with everything except his toys, especially pots and pans.

I took him to the Doctor today for allergy testing and he is NOT allergic to the horses! He also is not allergic to the cats, which I was kind of hoping he would be! It turns out he doesn't really have any allergies, although he tested slightly positive to milk. However, he may have asthma. We are going to try some different things and then go back in two weeks to see how he is doing. I will keep you posted.

I keep hoping for nice weather so that we can get outside and do some fun things. We are going to get sand for a sandbox which I know Colt will love. We are celebrating Easter with my mom and are taking Colt to an Easter Egg Hunt. I am sure it will be an adventure.

Does anyone else think the picture of Colt clapping looks EXACTLY like Uncle Jeff?
