Colton put his entire face in the water today at swimming lessons. He's turning into such a big boy!

Today when picking Colton up from day care he clapped all on his own. He's so funny. He won't do things after you do them. He waits a few days and must practice in the crib. It's as if he wants to perfect it before showing others.
He also pooped on the bathroom rug while daddy was drying him off after his bath. George said he acted like he didn't even notice. The other funny thing was that when Stacey went to change him this morning he had a pen between his shirt and his onesie... Hmmm daddy. George took Colton to his year check-up on Wednesday. The doctor asked him if he was pointing yet. George said no. And like clock-work Colton pulls it out of his bag of tricks today. He's been pointing like a hunting dog. Tonight he pointed at his birthday balloon, the horses in his book and everything else.
He also had a gigantic dinner. We started with two baby mum-mums, followed by two ice-tray chunks of warmed up chicken, potatoes and carrots. Then he ate four large broccoli florets, another mum-mum and ground beef. Oh and a 5 oz BM bottle with rice and his probiotic. It's so nice that he's able (and willing) to hold his bottle from start to finish now. Just in time to give it up. The doctor suggested to George that we start introducing soy or whole milk. Granted my production is way down ever since I got super sick in January, but I'm still producing just a little more than he needs daily - enough to still have a couple week supply if needed. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to stop pumping, but why switch if it's not needed, nor is it as healthy... Silly doctors. BM is for babies. Today at daycare Colton was standing at a table when I arrived. I was coming to discuss his summer contract. He let go of the table and took two steps toward me. I consider this walking. He really hasn't wanted to try much since. But this was a big day!
Noticed that the upper right tooth next to the front tooth came in today. He's really able to munch those mum mums now! Colton is such a good teether. No
George took Colton in for a check-up on his breathing today. It appeared all is well. The doctor suggested that if we are finding ourselves needing to nebulize him more than twice-week (we weaned him off of all inhalants about two weeks ago), that we should start him on the steroid again... I thought we already ruled out the damn steroid.
I don't think we'll be taking the doctor's order on this one. Good news is that for the first time baby's height is out-scoring his weight on the % chart. Baby Colt measures in today at 30.5" long = 80th percentile 23.11 lbs = 69th percentile Good growin' baby. Soon after arrival Colton reached over and pulled Mason's hair, pretty hard, at daycare today. Poor litte Mase makes the saddest little scrunchy baby faces when he's about to cry. I went over, sat on the floor and picked him up for comfort. Colton was not sure he thought I should be holding another baby and crawled toward us.
He stopped, stood up like a gopher, and stared at me and Mason. Both Stacey and I were speechless witnessing Colton's first public display of free-standing. He then sat back down and crawled away to attack some toys. Afternoon Amber told us that he did this two more times in the afternoon. The standing that is, not the hair pulling. So proud of our little man. Is this the next Harlem Shake? Click on the image to see a demonstration. Colton has been working on his outstretched arms, wiggling fingers move for a couple of weeks now. It started out in the high chair when he would reach out and mommy would copy him and then grab his little hands. Tonight at the barn he incorporated the move into a full-fledged excitement squeal. It's awesome. The past couple of times Colton has eaten the hamburger meal provided at daycare his skin has turned very dry, especially on his back and back of his neck.
Daycare Stacey does such a wonderful job of keeping track of these things. She called me in my office to let me know that beans had replaced corn for the vegetable on today's hamburger day. I hadn't heard of people being allergic to corn, but I guess there's allergies to everything... We've been thinking the top teeth have been an issue for a while, and we've felt the bumps for quite some time. Today it's official the top left tooth has poked it's way through. Colton is actually a pretty awesome teether - no fever and very little fussing. |
