The past four weeks have been simply CRAZY at our household. I'll try to keep this short and sweet. 

Colt: Our poor little man has been battling what we thought was a cold, for over 2 months. He has been in and out of the doctors since his debut into this world for sounding "funny". He always had a strange rattle to him. Around 3 and 1/2 months old it became really bad. Constantly coughing and spitting up. Up all night crying, which we were NOT used to since we have been way to lucky with his great sleeping patterns. They diagnosed him with allergies first, and no meds help. Then it was bronchitis, and also the nebulizer never worked. Then he was off to Yakima for testing for cystic fibrosis. They came back negative. He was then put on an acid reflux med, and by golly the next day he sounded NORMAL. He is now getting his first tooth!!! We can see and feel it coming, and apparently so can he. He has been a little on the cranky side. But,  I think he is handling it pretty well. Since the weather has gotten really warm, colt and I have been cruising around in the stroller a lot more and he really enjoys it. We have been walking down the feed alley and all the cows come up to greet us and Colt apparently finds that humorous.

Mama: After a lot of discussion, I decided to go back to work part-time. It has been great so far. I really enjoy what Im doing there. Colt is going to daycare a few hours a day and seems to be doing really well. We really like where he is going, they are GREAT!!! There are only 4 kids total there and two happen to be her own. 

Daddy: BJ.... Where to start!? He is just plain BUSY these days!! Soccer is in full swing and he has now picked up basketball. We look forward to Sundays when he plays. Its a family affair to go support him. At the farm things are finally drying up so he can start spring cleaning. Since Im working afternoons and am off about 6, BJ gets to pick Colt up from Ambers. I think he is pretty proud to have that responsibility. 

I guess it doesn't seem to crazy, but it sure feels like it has been!!

Just a few...

Just a few randoms from the past few days...

BJ wants so badly for this husky hat to fit Colt... I think we've got a ways to go daddy!!

The twins wanted to test things out.... Together

Snack time!!! Blayce is saying "Yayyy!!!" and clapping! The boys, weren't quite as excited.

Cousin Avery came over for the weekend, she is practicing holding a baby so she will be a pro when her brother/sister comes in a few more months! She wasn't so sure about it...

It all started with just Avery in the crib. Avery invited cousin BJ into the crib. Blayce wanted Uncle BJ and Coy wasn't going to miss out on whatever Blayce was into. They all were in and I needed someone to hold Colt while I got the camera!!

Life's little things...

Its the little things that mean the most in life.....

Colts new thing lately has been to take out his binkie, hold onto it about half way in/out of his mouth and talk. But tonight he some how managed to get it onto his face. When I finally noticed, I couldn't help but laugh. He was crossed eyed and chattin away. It was pretty priceless. I wish BJ could have been here to get a good laugh in with me.

Truckin'

Gone Truckin'

This is how excited Colt was to hear that he gets to haul a load of cattle to the basin with his daddy!!! (Okay, not really, but we'll pretend)

Here comes dad!

BJ's so proud of his little boy!! And Im so proud that they are BOTH mine!! I love my boys!

Okay mom if you'd get out and stop already with the pictures we could leave!

There they GO!!!!

4 months

4 months, already?! Where has the time gone? Oh, but its true, our little man is 4 months! We went to the doc's today and Colt didn't like the shots so much, but the water works only lasted a few seconds.

4 month stats

 

Weight: 15lbs 8 oz 

Height: 25 and 3/4 inches

Baby to a BIG boy!

BJ gave Colt his first, long over-due, haircut tonight!! It was so cute to watch. Colt LOVED it!!! He thought the vibration of the clippers was just too funny! He giggled the whole time. He went from looking like our little baby to such a big boy! We always said he looked like my dad Dean, but now, oh boy, he looks like him even more!!

The finished product

Can't leave these two out, they have become best buds! So glad we got him!!

New things....

Meet Blue Duck the bouncing horse! We borrowed this from Aunt Jamie, and Colt absolutely loves bouncing in it. Its like a Johnny Jump Up but is stationary so he can't bang himself into the door frame. It was sunny the day we took these pics.

Blue Duck is exhausting...

We also got a jeep walker. This was a christmas present that came really late since it was out of stock and the order was lost. But it's here and Colt also really enjoys this. He has learned how to press the buttons on the wheel, and it makes a bunch of different car sounds. He will look at BJ or I and have a HUGE grin, like "did you hear that? I did that!!"

We have really enjoyed watching him discover new things the past few weeks!!
