2 months and so fun

Colton is now 2 months old and we can hardly believe it. We love watching him grow and change each day. He is smiling up a storm and it makes me so happy to see that smile!! On friday, in the lovely snow storm, he had to go to the doctor to get his 2 month check up and his shots. He did so well, he only cried while they were giving the shots. I have never seen him turn so red, but when they were done and I picked him up he stopped crying and that was it. He did have a rough evening but I think it was more due to his colic than the shots. He is getting so big. He now ways 12 lbs 3 oz (65%) and is 23 inches (52%) and while he doesn't have a daddy sized head it is 15.9 inches (62%).

Almost smiling. Every time I pull out the camera he stops smiling!

Here he is chillin in daddy's arms.

I just love the expression on his face!

Fun With Digital Scrapbooking

So, I am not one of the most creative people, especially when given paper, scissors, glue, pictures, and maybe some stickers. But, my sister-in-law Alisha introduced me to digital scrapbooking. It is addicting!! Here are a few pages I have created of our beautiful baby.

November has come and gone

It has been a while since my last post so I have some catching up to do. Colton is one month! It's hard to believe how fast time flies and how much he has changed since he was born. Some of the funny things he does is, he won't sleep anywhere but his swing unless it is in a dark room. It is great at night because I feed him, change him and then lay him down and he goes to sleep, but try that during the day, no way! He likes to stick his tongue out and when he gets excited he breathes really fast and throws his arms out. He is getting really good at holding his head up and he likes to watch people walk around if he is in his bouncer. We just love watching him grow!

He Loves to sleep in his swing wrapped up super tight!

Today was his baby blessing. He was blessed by his dad at our ward house surrounded by lots of family. His grandmas and great grandmas sure love him!

We have had some exciting things happen around the house too! We are almost done with the kitchen face lift. It looks 100 times better than it did before. Unfortunately I don't think I have any before pictures but here is an after pictures. You can see we still have a little work to do but it is coming along!

On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, our main water line broke! It is really hard to be in a house that has no water!! Luckily we have an awesome ward and a neighbor who has a backhoe that came and dug up the front yard for us and helped us replace the line. We had water back on the same day! We couldn't have done it within his help!! He are some of the pictures of the massive hole in the front yard.

Halloween pics

Here are some super cute pictures my sister-in-law Jenny, Susie Q Portraits, took of our little Tiger! We decided to stay in on Halloween since it started to rain and he is still so little so we don't have any other photos.

One Week

I can't believe that my baby boy is already a week old. He has been a joy to bring home. The two dogs, Mya and Sobe, seem to be slowly adjusting to the fact that they are no longer on the top of our priority list. Colton sleeps well and seems to have his days and nights right. He does wake up about 2 or 3 times at night depending on when we actually go to bed. Of course the last wake up is around 5:30 AM so I usually don't go back to sleep after that and some times neither does he. Bath time is a little hard but I think he will adjust to them quickly. I love being a mom and we are enjoying our experience at parenthood!

Colton Leon Cotner

Our Baby Boy is here! Colton Leon came into the world on Oct 18, 2008 at 5:36 in the evening. We are stoked he is finally here so we can see his face! Parenthood for both of us has been nothing but exciting so far! Anyways here are some pics of the little man! We appreciate all the prayers and congratulations! We will write more soon.

Induced!

Well, I had my last NST test today and my fluids are still low so they are going to go ahead and induce me tomorrow. That is, unless something happens tonight. My doctor is out of town just for tonight so if I have the same luck as my mom I will go into labor at 6:15 PM, but oh well at least it will be over! Wish me luck!
