Whatcha been doin?...

This week has totally been a milestone week for Colt at 6.5 months old...

Monday he waved "hi" and has been doing it ever since, Tuesday he turned the "light off"(I'll elaborate in a minute), also on Tuesday he got on all fours as if he were going to crawl and started rocking back and forth, and now as I'm writing this he is saying "mamamamamamamama" in his pack n play while over at my parents house as mom, dad and I listen closely... LOVE that baby!!

He also has...

Gone to his first back to school peprally and picnic of the school he will attend from k3-12th grade. He was very attentive and liked watching the cheerleaders and band play.

...and he was tuckered out by the end of it...sweet angel...

He went to the baby shower of his soon to be second cousin, Jonah

He's walking around the house in his walker like he owns the place...which he does NOT by the way :)

Loves looking at his reflection in the dishwasher and stove

I finally caught him in action...from the sitting position Colt will turn over his right leg and place his hands on the floor, gets up on his knees and starts rocking back and forth for a few seconds and then SPLAT, his knees and hands fall out from under him...we're getting somewhere! and yes, my mom did buy the Ab rocket that you see behind Colt. It's her new toy.
As for the "light off" story...Ever since Colt was born I always tell him what I'm doing, what he's doing, what we are going to do, using signs as well lots of hand over hand actions letting HIM do whatever the task. Everytime we walk out of his room I would say, "light off" and put his hand on the switch and turn it off...saying "light off" "turn it off" "good turning the light off." The other day, I forgot to say "light off" as we were walking out of the room. I got half way through the threshold and he reared his head back looking at the switch and reaching his hand for it at the same time. I second guessed my self and was like "no way, he didn't do that. not on purpose anyway." So I tried it again, but this time I said "light off" and he seriously reached his arm up and touched the switch all by himself! I had no idea all this time he was watching, listening and understanding what I was saying. I'm so excited!

My family of three met Gertie, Poppy, Atlanta (aunt Lanna), Uncle Jake, Will and Brylee for dinner at a local "honky tonk" if you will...for two for one steak night. The last time I was there was the night before my C-section. I was HUGE and I chose steak for my "last supper" since I couldn't eat until after the surgery. Its only a few miles from our house and we used to go once a week. Colt got to sport his super cute cowboy hat once again as well as number 3 of his buckmaster t-shirts from Atlanta and Jake.

This is the only picture I have from the night before Colt arrived...So I'm leaving you with a picture of me looking all awesome and HUGE...don't have nightmares :)
