5 months

i feel like i get the post about him being four months done and its time to post that my baby is 5 months old. sheesh i know i say this every post but time sure does fly. So i'm a little late but on December 23rd Coleman turned 5 months and its so fun seeing little coleman grow up and learn so many new things. He has developed so much character and a little personality of his own, he is so smiley and laughs so easy, but lets be honest he has a little temper too. He is such a good baby, except lately he has started this new thing of HATING his crib... yeah tell me about it... he'll sleep in our arms, he'll sleep in his carseat, he'll sleep on the floor, he'll sleep on mine and Nate's bed, but for some reason he just hates sleeping in his crib... so evey night me and Nate have to trick him. We have him fall asleep in our arms till he is completely out and then quite carefully set him down in his crib and if were lucky he stays asleep, and if not we start the whole process over again... so if you have any suggestions we'd love love love to hear them! Coleman now has two teeth and the cutest little smile to show them off. we sure love Coleman! he is such a blessing in our lives. He reaches and picks stuff up, spits up like crazy (i think its cuz he is now on formula) and the best news of all we just started feeding him rice cereal and banana. He loves them. its fun feeding him but he sure makes a big mess. we were hoping that starting him on more solid foods would get him sleeping through the night but boy were we wrong... now he just eats more at each feeding :) and were are still up at night. o-well, this too shall pass right? I feel so blessed to be a mommy and love Coleman so much, some days are better than others but i can honestly say at the end of each day i go to sleep being so so so so grateful i have Coleman as my son. Love you Coleman

All we want for christmas is Cole's two bottom teeth

ladies and gentlemen WE HAVE TEETH! This has been quite the weekend, Coleman has cut his first tooth on the bottom and the other one is trying. Plus on top of that he is sick with a cough and stuffy nose.... so all you mom's know that means no sleep! no fun! but how exciting that our little guy has teeth. i'll post pictures when you can actually see them, until then wishful thinking that we'll get some sleep around this house :)

i LOVE this time of year, it always seems to be so MAGICAL and it seems to be even more magical this year now that we have Coleman...

Its like the little kid has been brought out in me again and i wanna do all the things i loved doing as a kid around this holiday season. I know Coleman is too young to understand but it doesnt stop me! it actually gets me even more GIDDY that i get to do this every year with him and each year he'll understand more and more.

growing up i ALWAYS wanted and always dreamed of being a mom that celebrated holidays with fun family traditions (just like my mom) that you looked forward to every year, i dreamed of being a mom that would take time to do "holiday crafts" with ger kids (just like my mom), i always DREAMED of being a MOM! and this year all my dreams are coming true!

i am SOOOOO BLESSED to have little Coleman as my son, he has brought a joy to nate and i that i dont think we could find anywhere else. I look forward to each day and the fun that me and that little man get to have together, he keeps me smiling and makes Nate and i so HAPPY!

i am SOOOOOOO blessed to have a husband that cares about me and Coleman and that is such a GREAT dad. He loves me and Coleman and does so much for us. He is such a good husband and makes me sooooooo SOOOOO HAPPY! I LOVE NATE!

and of course...
i am so so so blessed to have the gospel that gives me the knowledge that me and my two boys get to be together forever! what a HAPPY GREAT WONDERFUL thought that is... i get to spend forever with my two favorite people! HOW HAPPY!

I love this season, i think the real reason why is because it makes me take a second and look at how blessed i am! I am so BLESSED!
I love this SEASON, i love NATE, i love COLEMAN, and I LOVE THE GOSPEL!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

4 months young

wow today our little Cole Bear is 4 months old! he is growing so big so fast! He is trying to talk to us and has started a very hillarious high pitched talk. it makes me smile everytime he does it! He is reaching for stuff and pulling it straight to his mouth (of course) and loves smiling and laughing! he has the cutest little giggle and his dad can really get him laughing. he is our little scaredy cat too, loud noises and sudden movements make him jump and most of the time cry. he still loves being bounced and we discovered he LOVES the trampoline! he is so big and wearing some 6 month clothes. we sure love him! and NO he is not sleeping through the night, but its okay i've learned to really love the mid night feedings and cherish holding a sleeping baby! We love our little COLEMAN, Happy 4 months little monster

Family Pictures

so we did family pictures with my family and here are a few of my favorites!

Pictures. pictures. pictures

well we decided its probably time to update you with pictures. Nate loves putting Coleman in funny wierd places that you normally wouldn't see a person or a baby and take a picture... hence Coleman is in Nate's lunch box. such a good sport.

well our computer is being stupid so i guess we are only going to give you a picture of our little man in a lunch box and that was taken 2 months ago... Sorry i got your hopes up but stay tuned for more... this is just a taste of whats to come!
