Yesterday Colton finally rolled over from his back to his belly. He had been trying so hard and he finally figured it out. Now he hardly ever lays on his back. He either lays on his side or just rolls on over. It's so cute. I love watching him figure out new things. Makes me so proud to know that I'm the one teaching him how to do everything.
He is the cutest little boy and I love him so much. He has quite the personality now. I'll tell him to come to mommy and he gets all excited and reaches for me. Or Josh will tell him to come to daddy and he'll do the same thing then. That's the best feeling in the world knowing he wants to be with me! He now starts to laugh for no reason. I can just look at him and he'll laugh or he'll get the biggest smile on his face. He's so sweet and I can't believe how fast he's growing and changing. I love taking him up to see my family and showing him off. He's so fun and everybody should get to enjoy him as much as I do!

It has been a while since I've blogged. There isn't a whole lot going on here. Colton is still growing like a weed. He's constantly "talking" and making noises. I can't believe he's almost 5 months old. Seems like I just had him.
We are going up to my parents this weekend. It will be a much needed break for me! I miss my parents so much. Especially my mom since she has cancer. I worry about her all the time and I hate that I can't be there every day.
My wedding is in 5 months and I have nothing except a dress. In a few weeks me and Sarah are taking a trip to party city and David's Bridal. We will get a lot done once she's in Illinois. I don't know what I would do without her helping me!!
We found out how much we still owe on our house the other day. We should have it paid off around June. There's not very many 21 year olds that own their own house!! I can't wait to have it paid off. Then we might get a new car!
Well that's all I have for now. Here are a couple pictures of my cute little boy!

My little man.

he's such a big boy!

A little something before bed.

Yesterday I didn't end up going to the gastroenterologist. I have to wait until February 2nd now.
Colton had his first ear infection over a month ago and it hasn't completely went away yet so we had to take him to the doctor again today because the antibiotics didn't work. The doctor gave him a shot and said that it should take care of it. We just have to wait and see. I hate when he's sick. Hope he gets better soon. I want my happy little boy back!
I think I may have some me time on saturday. I want to go get my hair cut and maybe go tan. It's been a while since I have done anything for me. It's about time I do something! Colton is going to stay with his Grandma and Papaw Farler for the night so me and Josh can relax and they can spend some time with their baby.
My mom has another surgery tomorrow to take out more around the cancer. It should be an easy operation and I hope it's the last. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hope she gets better soon!

My baby is becoming such a big boy! He now takes all his naps in his crib and he sleeps all night in it too. He just all of a sudden decided that he doesn't really like to be rocked any more. I lay him in his crib and he goes right to sleep. He also decided that his bed time is now 10:30 instead of midnight. I love it but it kind of makes me sad too! I can't believe how much he is changing. He started eating 7 oz. every 3 hours now and I give him more rice and baby food throughout the day. I have a feeling he's going to be big like both his uncle Johnnys and his papaw. The way he eats he's going to be bigger than me and Josh in no time!
I go to the doctor tomorrow to see a gastro intestinal specialist. My gynocologist thinks I have endometriosis but they won't do a scope or anything until I find out if there's something wrong with my bowels or anything. I'll post more about this when I found out something.
Well my little man is sleeping so I better head to bed. We have a wic appointment in the morning and then I have to go to the doctor. It's going to be a long day. Goodnight everyone!

Something special for my mom.

This is just for you momma!
You are my best friend.
I can tell you anything and I know you're always there for me when I need you!
Even though I'm 250 miles away, I know I can count on you to make it down here in 3 hours if I really need you!
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. I wouldn't have made it through the first couple months of Colton's life without you!
I miss you so much and I think about you every day. I am so happy that you're getting your cancer taken care of and that you are going to be ok. I'll never stop worrying about you though. I hate that I'm not there all the time. But I can come up there any time you need me or just want to see me!
You mean the world to me and like dad said earlier you're going to live another 80 years and I'm countin on you to do that! I don't know what I would do without you.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late Night Blogging.

Colton is currently sleeping so I thought I would blog real fast before bed. Colton has been sleeping in his carseat at night for the past couple months and I really need to get him use to his crib. He has taken a few naps in it but has never slept in it at night. I'm hoping to put him in the crib this weekend when we're up at my parents. Josh told me he would help me get him use to it so we'll see if he does! Josh never changes poopie diapers. He has changed maybe 3 since Colton has been born. Well yesterday morning he actually let me sleep and he took care of Colton. Usually he would wake me up to change the diaper but he didn't this time. I was so happy and proud of him. He's so good to me! I don't know what I would do without him. He's a great daddy! My mom has surgery wednesday to r
emove the lump from her breast. Me, Josh, and Colton are going up there to be with her all weekend. I worry about her because I'm not there to take care of her. After all the surgeries she has had I was always there to be with her. Now it's hard to do living 4 1/2 hours away and having a baby to take care of. I'm going to do my best to be there a lot now though. I don't want her to miss us too much!



Colton in his high chair.

My life at the beginning of the new year.

This is the first time I have blogged since I had my son 4 months ago. I got a little distracted when he was born. He had cholic and would scream all night and every night so I wasn't sleeping very much. He now sleeps almost all night. He goes to bed at midnight and wakes for one feeding then goes right back to sleep. It's wonderful!

Colton is now rolling over almost every time we put him on his belly. He is also starting to get his first tooth. Makes me sad that he's becoming such a big boy but it's also kind of nice to have a little more free time now that he's a little older!

He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long when he was born and he is now 16 lbs and 25 inches long. I can't believe how fast he is growing!
He loves to sit in his high chair and watch tv. The tv is his favorite thing. I love that he is recognizing people now. Me or Josh walk past him and he just smiles at us. Him smiling at me is the best feeling ever. Even if I'm having a bad day, all he has to do is smile at me and nothing else seems to matter that much.

My mom recently found out that she has breast cancer. I think about her constantly and I hate that I'm not there with her all the time. We're starting to go up there a lot more now though so I can be with her. I love her so much and I refuse to let anything happen to her. I just don't understand why it had to happen to her. She's been through enough already!
