FIVE MONTHS OLD

3-5-12

Are you kidding me, how does this happen.... i cant believe how much this little guy has changed (and has changed our lives) and has grown (and has made us grow) he is doing and perfecting all sorts of new tricks. he is rolling all over, front to back and back to front, talks, and sings, blows bubbles, clasps his hands together, and puts everything into his mouth. He is really getting a hang of the whole hand-eye coordination thing. Colter is very sensitive, to people and noises, and he will let you know how he feels about it. First tooth sighting.... besides all the drooling, you can see little white tooth buds in his gums, it comes up and down, but when its up you can feel a little something in there.... 5 months, he is too little for all this!!!

 People aren't kidding when they say cherish every moment because they grow up way too fast!! and before you know it, your babies will be having babies.

He weighs 14 lbs

 and is

 25.5 inches long

 He Rolls

 And Drools

and makes all sorts of noises

 He found His Hands

 And He Cries..... usually only when he is hungry or needs a new diaper or sometimes right before he falls asleep

 And he has the cutest smile and laugh

 And the most amazing blue eyes

Colter is the sweetest baby boy in the world, everyone instantly falls in love with him, i know i say this every time..... but really who knew we could be so in love!!!

one year older and wiser too....

Happy Birhtday.... to YOU

Its the big 3.0.

And we celebrated ALL week. Landons mom surprised him for his birthday (landon is impossible to surprise so i cant believe we actually pulled this off... and i LOVE that we did) she flew in late Wednesday night.  I went to pick up "the friend that was staying at our house because of an interview she had out here" when we got back from the airport it was past midnight so we snuck into our room and landon thought I was showing "my friend" my sleeping husband {haha}. He was totally creeped out and it took him awhile to realize that it was his wife and mom hovering over him in his sleep, and not some stranger {hello i would never do that} we got him good!! Birthday week started with the mom surprise, king crab dinner, night away at the Palomar, Birthday breakfast, Birthday Pie with friends, Sunday Birthday dinner -beef bourguignon- and happy hour at Distrito. 

a week full of favorites, it cant get much better than that.

February 16th

 King Crab Birthday Dinner

 Every 30 year old still needs toys for his birthday.... oh and money too

 Then off we went for our Romantic Valentine/Birthday Nigh away. We went back to the Palomar downtown Philly {we loved it so much last year we had to come back} It was so nice to spend some good quality uninterrupted time together and I did surprisingly well with leaving Colter for the first time 

{after we slept in is when i started to miss him and was ready to go back home}

 We came back and had Birthday Breakfast/Lunch {since L had to be to the hospital at 6 on his actual birthday, way too early for breakfast} 

We had Waffles with Strawberries, Cream and home made Syrup, Bacon, and Sausage 

 

Then onto the Birthday Pie Bash with neighbors and school friends

Landons Favorite.... Mini Key Lime Pie, Blueberry Pie and Lemon Meringue Pie

{and my Favorite... warm milk cinnamon cake}

 

Favorite baby boy

Sunday Best

 It was a fun filled week and we are all exhausted!!

 I am so grateful for this 30 year old boy, he is the sweetest, most thoughtful, loving, makes us laugh, handy man, so kind, sexy, hard working, makes us all happy, incredibly handsome, husband and father. we are so lucky to have him in our lives.  

Happy Birthday Babe.
