Colt is keeping us moving!

Colt is about 16 months now and so much fun. I had forgotten how much I love this age. Lately he has gotten the screaming when he wants something down to a science which is driving me nuts and diaper changes are still a struggle every time but other than that I love this age. He is so fun, cute, happy to go with the flow, always trying to do what his sisters do, and thinks he is much older than he is!

He would be outside all day if I let him. He just hangs out with Pebbles, walks around, throws balls around, goes on the trampoline and just loves being out there. Of course he loves the water too when we break it out but he is happy to be out there no matter what. He also loves to point out every bird and airplane that he sees!

He loves getting a turn on the trampoline by himself! He wants to go to preschool so bad and just play. There are tears some days when he doesn't get to go into the classroom. He is saying new words everyday it seems like. So far he uses no, yes, out, up, go, car, bird, airplane, ball, baba (bottle-his favorite), more, dog, mama, dada, Pebbles, nose, eyes, hair, sit, hat, book, hot, clap, hi, bye, cracker, shoe, baby and I am sure there are more I am forgetting now but those are most of his favorites. He is always trying other ones when he hears you say them and working on thank you, olivia, and rae rae right now. I love hearing him talk and watching all that he can understand. It is just amazing how quick they learn!

He loves playing patty cake and still wearing anything he can as a hat. He is always busy and going going going. The girls are so good at protecting him, entertaining him while I change his diaper and loving him. Sometimes they think they can play as rough with him as they are with each other but he handles it pretty well.

At his 15 month checkup he weighed 26 lbs. 10 oz. and was 32 inches tall. He is in the 75% for height, weight, and head. Pretty much where he has been all along and going strong!


Now for this little one! I am almost 30 weeks now and feeling every day of it. It's not bad really and I feel guilty complaining at all but this pregnancy is definitely harder on my body than the others have been. I just have a lot of constant pains especially in my groin muscles. To lift my leg to put my underwear on is a challenge! Either way she seems to be doing good so we're thankful for that. Doctor appointment in a few days so we will see then how we're holding up! Only two months left now!

I showed Colt my belly the other day and was talking to him about the baby in there. Now when I ask where the baby is he pulls my shirt up and points to my belly and says "baby." It is so cute so I had to get it on video to have for later! Sometimes he lays on it and kisses it too. I don't know if he really knows what a baby is but he knows where the "baby" is. What a sweet little guy. I can't believe he will be a big brother soon!



I love his little hand in this picture while giving a kiss!



Please don't mind the white white belly and terrible stretch marks! Sorry everyone!




The big guy after a bath. We've still got the constant diaper rash going on so he gets to roam naked for a while after the bath, with his pink towel, so manly!

We sure love you a lot Colt! Everyone of us. You are such a fun and sweet boy and we are so happy to have you in our family!

Oh he really is so cute. There is one pic that he looks exactly like josh! And he looks like you too. Still can't believe you have such a blonde baby! Lol. Love the pics of him poking your tummy. What a sweet boy. I'm sorry you are having pains. Hang in there and just remind yourself it is all worth it. Especially once you get a boob job and tummy tuck... then we,ll be in business! :) love you Ag.
