Mr. Giraffe

This morning, Mr. Giraffe did everything Colton did.  We pulled Summer's little rocking chair into Colton's nursery so that Summer could feed Mr. Giraffe while Mommy fed Colton in the big rocking chair.  Mr. Giraffe had his diaper changed, and he played in Colton's jungle.  Here is some video....it made me smile!

Colton's Baby Dedication

Yay, I am dedicated to the Lord!

 Sunday morning was an extra special Father's Day, as we dedicated Colton to the Lord! 

Colton's baby dedication was our way of publicly thanking the Lord for blessing us with our little guy and proclaim that we want to raise him to be a godly young man that loves the Lord first. 

We chose a verse for Colton from 1 Timothy 4:12 as our prayer for him.  It says, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."  Thank you SO MUCH to all of you that are praying for Colton, Summer and us as parents :-)

Here is a video of his dedication and some pictures from our day!

Everyone came back to our house for a special Father's Day meal.  We tried to include a favorite dish/side dish of each Dad/Grandpa that was there!

Ooooooh!  Look at my cake!

Summer enjoyed Colton's cake!

Summer LOVED playing with TWO grandpas!!!

Happy Father's Day to MY Dad :-)  Love you DAD!


Summer made Daddy a flower with her handprints for Father's Day.  To the right of Daddy, you can see the "footprint" penguin picture that Summer and Colton made for Daddy and each Grandpa.
It was a special Father's Day being able to celebrate with BOTH Paul and my dads, and to celebrate the Heavenly Daddy that we dedicated Colton to!

Colton is 2 months old!



Hi guys!  It's me, Colton, again!  Today I went to the doctor for my 2 month check-up.  I am a pretty healthy guy....

I weigh 11 lbs 10 oz (34th percentile)
I am 22.5 inches long (27th percentile)
My head is 38.7 cm (36th percentile)

I'm feeling good!  I am really starting to enjoy life :-)!  Mommy says I turned a BIG corner 5 days ago, when I started crying a lot less and smiling a lot more.  It's pretty fun to smile more and it makes my Mommy pretty happy too!  I have started to say "ah-ooooooooo" sometimes and that makes Summer laugh and Mommy and Summer will say "ah-ooooooooo" back to me which is pretty cool. 

I still really like my hairdryer CD when I sleep and I love to be swaddled.  I usually sleep from 8:15pm to 7am or 8am with one feeding around 2 or 3 am.  I usually need a half hour or hour nap about 9 or 10am, and then I take a long afternoon nap from 2:30-5pm. 

I still love bath time and I am starting to enjoy looking at rattles and playing on my play-mat (as long as it isn't too long before somebody picks me up again!)


Here are a few videos of me at 2 months.  I hope I can see all of you soon!
