SIX Months... Poor Sick Baby... Spring Visit

Colton is now SIX months old. I can hardly believe that six months ago our lives changed completely and our family grew. We love having him with us and he is such a joy! I love his beautiful blue eyes and his happy toothless grin (still no teeth). He hasn't decided that he wants to sit yet, but he is getting very close to sitting by himself!! He also, has decided that he just doesn't want to roll from his back to his stomach. While in his crib he wiggles around enough that I guess he figures that he doesn't need to roll over to get around. He will still roll from his tummy to his back though. He'll do anything to get off his tummy. To celebrate this wonderful occasion of six months we got a cake and had it decorated. Colton couldn't enjoy any of it but you can see that he sure wanted to!!






Poor Colton has been sick since last Sunday. It all started with a cute little cough, that he would dramatize, but soon turned into a running nose, fever, and an even worse cough! Yesterday he actually started acting like himself again but still has a terrible cough. Here is a picture of him on the day I think he felt the worst. He was so stuffed up and would get so upset every time he coughed. It's so hard when they are sick and there is nothing you can do for them but try to make them comfortable.



My sister Amy and her daughter Shelby were visiting this week. It was so good to see them and to see how Shebly has grown since last year! Colton sure loved his cousin Shelby and he very much enjoyed having his Aunt Amy around to snuggle him while he was sick.
