Kolt at 7 months


We went to the doctor last Thursday & Kolt now weighs 23 pounds (95th percentile) & he is 27.5 inches (90th percentile). The doctor guessed he would be at least 6' 4" by the time he's finished growing. Who knows? Anyway, he has lots of cute chub that I cannot seem to kiss enough. He now loves to eat graham crackers & he loves most veggies & all fruits. I would like to think that will keep up, but I won't hold my breath. Ever since the middle of March, Kolt has forgotten how to sleep. Seriuosly, no matter what we did, he would wake up around 1:00 am & be wide awake and many nights, would not go back down until 5:00 or 6:00. James & I felt like we had a newborn again. We let him "cry it out" several times, which would usually be about 2 hours of him crying in his crib & me crying on the couch. We were losing our minds. Took him to the doctor for his check up & he got 5 shots. He has pretty much slept through the night ever since. Go figure. He ran fever for several days after that & felt lousy. Hopefully, he's back in the habit of sleeping on a better schedule. James is wondering if we can ask for vaccinations on demand.

Mr. Personality


Kelton won't really cooperate for pictures right now. He always says "I'm too busy to take a picture". Most of my pics of Kelton are either of him hamming it up or pictures he has no idea are being taken. I feel like these capture little Kelton & his big personality.
P.S. He loves to be naked right now. I cannot keep clothes on him. We always start out with clothes on, but he strips down & streaks everywhere. Wearing nothing but his rain boots, he likes to have Lyla chase him around the back yard!

Easter 2009


We spent Easter out in the country at my parents house. Actually, we always eat lunch at my sisters house & then mosey on next door to my parents for some Easter egg hunting & to watch the Masters. As always we had lots of fun, complete with 15 adults & 10 children. I have a big family. It's always loud & crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!
