My little eater...

I'm learning that Colton loves food. Let's face it...he gets that honest! His Dad and I are both pretty good eaters...not that that is something I typically like to brag about. However, when raising a child, it's a pretty good compliment to know that Colton has a wide variety of tastes and that he will try about anything, and by anything, I mean meats, fruits, vegetables, dog food, string, paper, beer cans, etc. I think you get the picture. Therefore, I shouldn't be surprised or as amused as I am that he enjoyed salad last night at dinner. I had fixed a salad for Jason and I, and I thought, let's experiment. So, I put some cut up lettuce, topped with a few shreds of cheese & a dolup of ranch into his little bowl, and sat back to watch the results. This is what I found...I was confused as to why I heard slurping....but I'm fairly certain that he sucked the ranch off of every piece of lettuce before he chewed it up.

More birthday...

I'll start this post with a few final pictures of the 1st birthday bash... The future gang of friends/classmates! Colton, Brody Cox, Reagan Roberts & Mya Holderly   Opening gifts...he was truly spoiled on his first birthday! He had to take a snack break in the middle of opening things up...thankfully, Reagan was willing to share... His cake & the big cake...they were so cute, and tasty too!   Before he dove into his cake... After he dove into his cake...   The end -- a birthday party is TIRING!!! (This is probably how Jason and I looked that night too...ha) Throw in Super Bowl party on Sunday of the same weekend...Colton found himself an empty beer bottle...notice how he tips it back like an old pro! We had an amazing birthday weekend.We really are blessed. Lots of fun with family & friends.  Our lives really haven't slowed down much since then -- the following week Colton got sick...and really, he's such a good kid,...

Happy First Birthday, Colton Robert Stockment!

Wednesday, 04 February 2009 Okay, okay...so I'm a few days late, and I didn't even find the time to get on here and date stamp a Happy Birthday Message to my son --- shame on me, but honestly, there was no time. Let me recap the last week for you -- I lasted posted on Tuesday the 27th...my due date! HA Wednesday night - Mom & Dad kidnapped Colton and I to go visit Grandma while Jason did some hunting. We had a great visit - but I wasn't sure it'd be that great. About 10 minutes before Mom & Dad got to our house, Colton fell in the bathroom and cracked his head on the corner of the vanity! He finally chilled out and we had a nice visit, and a great time at dinner afterwards. No offense to JAson, but it was kind of fun to be just with my parents by myself. I'm selfish like that! :) Thursday night - My goal was to tackle cleaning the upstairs, so that it was done and I could spend all day Friday focusing on the downstairs. Jason helped with sup...
