Memorial Day- 20 weeks!

For Memorial Day, we decided to take Colby swimming for the first time! I bought him a cute swimsuit and matching hat. We took him to my parents' house to hang out with the family and of course get into the pool. I thought for sure he would like the pool because he likes his baths. The pool water was way colder than I expected it to be in the end of May. We put him in and he seemed to like it okay. I think he will like it much better when the water becomes warm like bath water in the next month. We also discovered that he loves the backyard swing at my parents' house. Even if he only lasted a few minutes in the pool, I got some adorable pictures:)

Getting ready to go...sunglasses, sandals, paci- check:)

I am so cool!

Testing out the water

"Wow, that is COLD!"

"Daddy, I don't know if I like this!"

Sitting in his turtle float

The sun was too bright, so I couldn't get him to look up.

In the backyard swing for the first time!

All smiles with momma:)

So excited!

I was eating his feet... he thought it was so funny!

Pictures- 19 weeks!

He is almost rolling from back to belly.

Starting to like his jumper more!

I left the room for a second, this is how I found him:)

Colby with his new teething toy... we named him Frank! Cousin Coy had the same one which was named George. ( We had to come up with a new name)

Colby with Frank! I have a feeling they will become best of friends the next couple of months:)

Ready to crawl? :)

Colby with Grams and Grandpa Cook.

I am convinced that Colby loves to hear his own voice! He just talks and talks wherever we are. Yesterday, at Target he was doing his squeals... it was very loud and people kept looking at him. But it is always an excited, happy squeal. I am very thankful for that!

One Happy Baby!- 18 weeks

Colby is such a happy baby! He is always smiling, that is when his hands are not in his mouth. Lately, it has been hard to get a picture of him without his hands in his mouth. I don't think he is teething yet, but it might not be too far off! We also discovered that he loves his cousin Coy. When Grams was watching both Colby and Coy on Tuesday, they just kept laughing at each other... I can tell already they are going to be best buds! Also, Colby has been sleeping through the night for the past 3 or 4 weeks now! I mean sleeping from 8:30pm-8:30am, sometimes later everyday! I absolutely LOVE that I get my sleep. For awhile there, I thought I would never sleep again:) Well, I am counting down the days of school before summer... 13 days until I get to spend everyday with my baby boy!!! Here are a few pics from lately.

I LOVE him!

Mommy is so funny!

Look how long he is...

Close up

Happy, Happy baby!

Hands in the mouth... typical!

I love his preppy look!

Sitting up so well now!

Mommy and Colby

Colby is talking to baby girl cousin... he is telling her to cook alittle while longer (currently 25 weeks gestation).

4 Months Old!

Colby is 4 months old! It is so hard to believe that it has already been 4 months since we first held our precious little boy in our arms. I thank God everyday for such a blessing. Today, Colby went to the doctor for his 4 month check- up and shots. Daddy took him because Mommy had to work...(It was field day.) Chase said that Colby did so good with the shots and did not cry... hard to believe because he got stuck twice! I typed up a bunch of questions to ask the doctor. One of my questions was if he could now start to play in his jumper. She said it was fine, so tonight I set up the jumper. I think we might have to wait a little longer on it because his feet don't touch the floor, but I got some cute pictures of his first time in it:) She was pleased with his progress... here are his 4 month stats.
Weight- 13 lbs. 6oz. (10-25%)
Length- 26 in. (75-90%)
Head- 16 in. (10-25%)

Looking at the lights on the jumper:)

I was able to catch a roll halfway through... I will keep trying to get the full roll:)

Talking on his 4 month old birthday:)

Milestones- 16 weeks!

Today, Colby rolled over for the first time! Unfortunately, I did not get it on video. The past couple of days, every time I put Colby down for Tummy Time, I have my camera on video ready to catch his first roll. Today, I was doing the same thing...I just knew today was going to be the day:) I put the camera down for a minute because his laundry was done, and I needed to put it in the dryer. I was gone for a minute (at most). When I came back, he was on his back.. smiling like he was so proud of himself! I couldn't believe it. I was so ready for it, and I literally left for a minute and missed it:( Hopefully, I can catch it on video very soon, and I will post it. Colby also started a new spitting thing. He blows spit bubbles all the time now as you can see in the video. He will be 4 months on Wednesday and is going to the doctor for a check-up and shots. I will posts his stats on Wednesday!
