Our Aweful Beautiful Life

Well, we've entered 9 months, and Colton weighed in at a whopping 23 lbs (22 lb 15 oz. to be exact)  and 28 1/2 inches long. He's Huge....go ahead, say it...he's got some Hall in him. But, he's an adorable huge right? He has been so fun lately - and folks, I'm here to say, that at 9 months, 15 days...the kid is on the verge of walking. It won't be long, all the signs are there, and he's a pretty determined guy -- what can we say, he gets that honest from both of his parents. Not to much new to update -- Colton's finally feeling better, although, has another snotty nose and a bit of a cough. I have a feeling it'll be never ending this winter. Jason's in Heaven -- it's hunting season and he's seen several good bucks. Shotgun opens up tomorrow, so we'll have Jacob all weekend, and I'll basically be one of those hunting widows. Work has slowed almost to a halt. I've got a quick registration for a conference in the...

Well...I made spaghetti casserole last night for dinner, and as we sat down to eat, it occurred to me that there was probably no good reason why Colton couldn't have a little bit of what we were having, vs. baby food. So, we gave it a go. And, the following ensued...HE LOVED IT!!! I wouldn't watch the video if you actually like spaghetti...I think my dad said it best when he said that a baby can make the most delicious food look completely nasty! HA We had to laugh, because at first, he just kind of looked at his tray, like "what do I do with that?" And we didn't have the camera out to catch it (it's probably what clicked the light bulb to go get the camera) but he picked up his first scoop of dinner, and immediately plopped his hand over hte side of the tray, and needless to say, he made Murphy's day....he just dropped that whole handful of spaghetti right onto the floor for his buddy Murph! Finally....he figured it out it was for him....
