Pictures

Hello again! Feel like maybe I should introduce myself again since it has been so long since I have posted any pictures.  lol. I truly apologize that it has been so long. Well since my last post things have been BUSY! I go to work everyday and have started back at the gym and trying to get to a point I can pass my PT(physical fitness test) in March. We will see how that goes.  I also just finished up my master class for this semester. Yeah I took a class the semester Colton was due. I managed to get through it and it wasn't that bad. A lot of me free time is also doing a bible study with Jeremy or trying to email him when I can.  This holiday season sure is different. I am trying really hard to not be a debby downer about it. We have the tree up and the house looks great! We also dipped many chocolates and it really is starting to feel like christmas. If you send a message or email I apologize if I cannot respond for a while if at all. I have just been so busy and I apologize.

So... Over the thanksgiving holiday I ventured down to OK and KS for a little bit. It was a very busy trip and Colton did great on the trip. We visited me college roomies...whom I always love to visit! We went to Affair of the Heart one day and then we went to KS to spend Thanksgiving. It was a very fun trip and nice to get out of town for a little bit. I hadn't left the state since February. So it was a much needed trip. Colton did amazing on all the flights and for his visit. He is a very good little boy and such a happy little guy. He is growing so fast. He is not a fat baby...just very long! I will post a bunch of picture for those of you who do not have facebook.  I just fall more in love with my little guy and can't begin to tell you what a blessing he is.  Ok well I will try to post again soon but I just wanted to give you some pictures for now. Thanks for checking in.

Growing so fast!

I haven't written in a little while and figured it was about time. I have just a few pictures to post. Sorry if some of them are a repeats from facebook.

Well since I posted last Mr. Colton has gotten more of a personality everyday. He is so fun to just sit and watch. He make so many funny faces and is the most expressive little guy. Lets see what else has happened...we have had many visitors come see the little guy(thanks!). I have also returned back to work. I never thought I would be the type that would like to stay home, but now I have realized that I wish I didn't have to work and was able to spend all my time with him. I feel like I am missing out on everything...makes me sad. But I don't really have a choice and will keep working away and try to learn as much as a can about my new job (same location..just different job).

I am also trying to keep a positive attitude but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I am talking about Jeremy leaving. More than anything I just want him to stay. Some days I am tough and strong. Other times I find myself in tears just thinking about it. Yes, maybe I am a wimp and should toughen up but I year is a long time. He is my best friend and thought it may sound weird no matter how upset I get I can always count on him for a smile, a pick me up or someone that I truly just enjoy having and conversation and talking with every night. I am totally an introvert and would much rather stick to myself. He is not and brings that out in me...he is my reminder to be social and get out. I am afraid I might find myself pretty much being a homebody. So I am trying to fix this and go out of my comfort zone and try to make sure I still get. It just so much harder when my motivator is not here. Needless to say I am not looking forward to this year at all. I am sorry to be such a debby downer but it just something that is constantly on my mind all the time and I cant help it! Still hard for me to imagine how this year will even go. Please just keep us in your prayers. For strength and things like that.

Here is kind of a photo update...enjoy!

This is the quilt I made for Jeremy. I think it turned out great! 

Another quilt I finished up recently!

Mr. Colton turned One Month Old!!!( Little Behind.. 2 month tomorrow)

 A little about this little guy...

He loves his Wubbanub

He has gas like an old man 

He is a happy baby...cries if he has gas or is hungry

He sleeps about 3 hr at a time

LOVES to kick his legs and move

He makes squeaking noises a lot

Still is swaddled at night and listens to his lullaby music

Loves to look at the ceiling fans

Loves sitting up and looking around

(he has a lot of things he loves to do :) )

Sending a picture to his Daddy at work! What a cutie!

Oh wait! Thats not Colton...thats Jeremy as a baby! Yup I hear it all the time...they look exactly alike. Does this justify it even more, I think so! 

This is how he rolls! What ever is comfortable to ya buddy!

Loves his wubbanub...will hold onto sometimes

Catching a catnap with Daddy!

He has the death grip on him froggy

Reminds me of A Christmas Story with Ralphys little brother that can't get his arms down

Our little pumpkin

 One of his Halloween Costumes. Its homemade so doesn't look the best but thats ok.  He was a mouse cause all his does all day is make little squeaks like a mouse. 

Colton was also a pumpkin. Here is his serious face

Here he is a little bit happier. I wish the right was was a little clearer but here is his little smile. So cute!

So I had to go back to work the 23rd of October. Here is a picture with me and my little guy. I miss spending time with him all day.

Watching some OSU Football

 Dad and son trip to Home Depot! Can he tell he is thrilled. lol

His new owl hat he got to try out because its snowing outside!

 I apologize if it was a picture overload. I hadn't posted in so long that I thought you might enjoy some picture so see how big he has gotten. We just love Colton to death and fall more in love everyday. He is a fun boy and as cute as can be. We are blessed. I don't want him to grow to fast but I want the year to hurry and go by so we can be together as a family. Sure I don't mind help but it just not the same. We are so blessed to have Colton in our life and to have such a fun and cute little boy. We love you Colton!

The many faces of Colton

Well it's been a little while since I have written, so I figure it's time for an update. We just love having Colton around and fall more and more in love with him everyday. We are adjusting to having a new little one and truly think he is a blessing. Jeremy has started back at work this last week so there has been even more adjustment.  We are all getting the hang of things and trying to get into a routine.  I figured this post that I would just share a lot of the pictures I have of Mr Colton and maybe it will give you a look into what his little personality is like.  I don't really think the camera really portrays what he looks like the best but that it ok. He got some professional pictures done last week and we can't wait to see how they turned out. He was such a trooper and the photographer was just fantastic!

So one of the most common comments we hear is "He looks just like Jeremy!". Looks like my prediction was right and I agree he looks just like him. Lets just hope he is not as stubborn. (Sorry sweetie...like I have room to speak ). So here is my many photos to try to she what he is like...enjoy.

So Colton often has a hat on and usually prefers to hold onto it. He will pull it down over

 his eyes sometimes or just hang out with it. He likes to hold onto things a lot...like his

 wubbanub (horse next to him), your fingers or blankets!  

Wow his hair is not looking good in this picture but this is his face after he eats. Yes 

he is somewhat dramatic and will just place his hand on his cheek. This is the precursor to passing out! 

This is his peaceful little sleep. He still fits in Newborn clothes at the moment. He is almost to long but as you can see he never likes to put his legs in the holes for his legs so we don't really have to switch to a bigger size quite yet. 

This is his scared or not to thrilled face! LOL This one makes me laugh. Its not the most flattering of him but is totally his personality.  Once again the hands up by his face. 

First glimpse of trying to smile! 

Just a cute picture! 

Like I said he always sleeps or has his hands by his face. It was even this way in my ultrasound pictures. This one makes me laugh cause he just set his little hand right on his nose to sleep. What ever floats your boat little one.

My common sleeping pose...grabbing onto his neck of his sleeper

Hands by the face again...its a comfort thing for him

This is how he feels about car rides! lol 

His serious face

Often when he is stretching or when he is sleeping just raises one hand in the air for no reason.  

Ok so I think I may have bored your enough with all my random picture postings. I will try to get some better photographs on the next post and hopefully give you some more information on how things are going. These are just random pictures from my phone that I have dumped onto here. Sorry about the quality again. Thanks again as always for checking in and for your continued prayers. 

Here are some of the professional pictures that were put on Facebook! I absolutely LOVE them!
