I'm a big boy now I'm SEVEN!


Colt is 7 months old and one day...TODAY! Holy moly...where did my baby go?! Almost crawling, sleeps 12 hours a night... sometimes 13 complete with 2 THREE hour naps everyday (unless we aren't home). He has one bottom tooth and the other fixing to pop through any second. He eats like a champ...loves to eat chicken noodle, turkey and sweet potatoes, apples, applesauce, mango, pears, peas, pasta vegetable med, hawaiian delight, carrots, squash, corn casserole, squash and corn. Does not like, but eats...bananas, peaches, macaroni, blueberry and apples, green beans etc... Super smiley, laughs all the time, walks everywhere in his walker, grew out of his johnny jumper, says mamamamamama ALL of the time, continues to put his hand on the light switch as I say, "light off," gets on all fours and rocks like he will crawl any second, loves music, if he is distracted while eating and won't open his mouth I can sing "yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy" and he will smile and open his mouth. Same with the "frog" song (I'll spare you and write the lyrics later). He loves to go outside, loves his bath, loves to swim. He seriously is a wonderful baby. I'm scared to have another one because people tell me "oh just wait, your next one will be ...." (blah blah blah). OR it could just be because I'm the shizzle of a mom...HA! I kid I kid.

He really is my little buddy and I love staying home with him getting to see his every move and milestone. He has a Dr. appointment tomorrow so I'll update you with his stats asap :)

I love that everybody has their own nickname for him. I call him "Colt-T bear" and "Bubber." Blake calls him "nums" or "bbbbbOY." Poppy calls him "big bear." Aunt Haley calls him "Colt-T" "bubbas" "bizza boy" (for big boy). Yaya calls him "bizza boy" "Colt-T" and "Punkin Brewster." Doodad calls him "his little buddy." If you call him something that I didn't mention, comment so I can document it :)

Colt spent his 7 month old birthday at the lake proudly running around the porch in his walker and spending the afternoon at the beach swimming. This weekend was our last official trip to the lake. It is just about dove season and we will be heading west for the weekends probably up until January when deer season ends.
Attention all legs and feet: take cover...here I come -Colt

For some reason my "mom" brain has not gone away and returned my old brain. I spent most of Friday morning packing up the fam for the last lake trip and doing laundry. Once we got to the lake, I sat on the porch and immediately remembered..."I FORGOT TO PACK ALL OF COLTS SWIMMING GEAR!! Seriously?!!! We've been here almost all summer. How in the world could I forget his swim shirt, swim trunks, swim diapers, sunscreen, hat AND floaty!!?? Well, I did. This explains why he is swimming in a onesie and Blake's fishing hat. It did the job, but I am still quite concerned about my brain :)

I hope everybody had a great weekend. This will be the last week until the club pool closes on the 1st. Anybody want to join Colt and I for a swim??
