There goes January

I can't believe January is over already. Time is flying around here. Here are some of the latest picture from the past two weeks. I haven't been able to capture Colt's smile on camera yet because everytime I bring it out he gives it a strange look and ceases smiling. One of these days. This week he has been smiling a lot more so hopefully soon I''ll get one.

This picture was at the end of a very long day. Eric went with his brothers and parents up to Austin for the day and didn't get back until 10:30 at night so it was a long day and my first all alone from morning until bed time. It went relatively well except for a few too many pooping incidents: Rachel 2x in her pants, Livy 1x in her pants, 1x in the tub ("Mom come and put this away please" holding the poop in her hand), and Pebbles in the house too, which Rachel decided to pick up, lovely. So these pictures (above and below) describe how I felt at the end of that day too!

Kind of a smile.

Livy sharing ducky.

6 weeks old!

Pictures of their dresses from Tina that they love. They wore them to church and then Rachel had to wear hers on Monday too. Livy was sad here because she had to put ducky down for the picrture, Rachel was consoling her.

Smiles all around!

Livy attempting to console Colt while he was crying on the floor. She lays on top of him basically. It's pretty funny and so sweet.

Using the mat in his room to measure him against. I am gonna try and take a picture each month to see how much he grows. He is about 12 lbs. now at 7 weeks and rolled over in his crib once. Hasn't done it again yet but has gotten close, front to back.

He is a really good baby. He has his days where he likes to cry all day but they are not many. I can't complain. I love this little man! The girls love him too and are alway still kissing him and wanting to hold him. Occasionally we get the "put him down" from Livy or the "can we put him back in your belly" from Rachel.  But then they are loving him the next minute! The other night Rachel said "I don't like that boy." Eric and I tried not to laugh at her but the way it came out was quite funny. They are doing awesome with a new baby taking so much of my time. I love those girls and am amazed everyday at how much they learn and know and understand and can correct me and hold me to what I say now. It is so cool listening to them and all that they say. Their imaginations are taking off and they have full conversations between their animals or dolls or whatever they are pretending with. Still quiet entertaining they are!
