Christmas Morning Part 2!

Colton, your not supposed to eat your presents silly!
Grandma and Grandpa gave him a jumper!

This was my "woohoo, it's Christmas morning!" dance.

My mom got Whitney and I these awesome PJs from Victoria's Secret

After opening presents at the Dicksons, we went to my parents house (only 5 minutes away) and opened presents with my family. We also got to talk to Cameron, my brother who's on a mission in Argentina for the LDS church. He comes home in about 2 weeks!!! After hanging with the Glassmans we went to see the Squeekuel with the Dicksons and then went back for dinner that Devin's mom made for us. Then we went back to my parents house and hung out for a little while and played some ping pong.

Christmas Morning!

Awww, family smiley/sleepy faces! (We just woke up)
Colton's First Christmas!

He loved wrapping and tissue paper! (as much as the gifts)

Playing with toys and cousin Kyla

This was possibly the best Christmas ever! It was so fun having Colton in addition to our family this year. Christmas morning we woke up with all of the Dicksons and opened presents. We woke up to my nieces and nephews screaming "Santa came!" I was thinking about letting Colton sleep a little longer, but when I peaked at him he was so sleepy looking but wide awake! It was so cute, he was ready to open presents!

Christmas Eve 2009

Mom, Grandma, Me

Aunt Chrystal's House

Devin was pulling a Britney Spears and letting Colton drive
Colton and Aunt Kiki had matching Paul Frank footie pajamas

My parents had my entire mom's side of the family over for Christmas Eve. We had so much fun this year with our family. Devin and Whitney came to town for the holiday and so the only one missing was Cameron. (he gets back from his mission in two and a half weeks) As tradition my mom got our family pajamas that we got to unwrap and wear Christmas Eve. Whitney and I got cute Victoria Secrets flannel and Colton got cute Paul Frank pjs. After the party at my parents, we stopped by Devin's Aunt Chrystal's to catch the end of the Dickson's Christmas Eve party and then headed to Devin's parents house where the entire Dickson clan spent the night. That's right...all 8 grandchildren and the 5 kids and their spouses!

The Thomanders!

Can you tell Indie was happy to see us?

Today was AWESOME because we got to hang out with Meg, Corbin, and Indie! They are some of our best friends from Hawaii and we MISS them! We've had so many good times with them surfing, playing cards, sleepovers and barbeques. Awwwww, we LOVE you guys!

My messy eater!

This was a particularly messy eating session. Colton kept trying to grab onto the bowl and spoon. He also kept putting his hand in his mouth and wiping the rice cereal all over his face. It was too funny!

My little cuddle bug!

I love waking up to this smiling face! I kiss his cheeks about a thousand times each morning!

I hate tummy time!

My little chunkers is not a fan of tummy time...still!

Devin's 26th Birthday and Hanukkah

Saturday was Devin's Birthday! We went to hanukkah in the afternoon and then at night we watched the UFC fight with a few friends. My Aunt Shelley got Devin an amazing cake with surfboards on it! On Sunday we spoke in our new ward so we had quite a busy weekend.

5 months!

On Dec. 2nd Colton turned 5 months old! My little chunkers is such a joy to be around! I love him soooo much. He's been pretty good considering the fact that he is teething. Yep! He's already got one of his bottom teeth popping in and I can see two big ole' front teeth that want to come though too. He is just so precious and we love him so much!

Thanksgiving!

We went to Devin's parents house for Thanksgiving this year. Dinner was delicious and I ate myself into a coma. Colton enjoyed playing with his cute cousin Kyla. Later that night we went over to the Glassman Thanksgiving dinner with my Dad's side of the family. We had a great time spending the holiday with our loved ones.

We Moved!

Devon and I had a chocolate frosting fight...he got a ton in my hair!

Colton has so much fun with his Auntie and Uncle!

Colton helping us move and load up boxes.

Thanksgiving weekend we moved to Irvine! We love our new place, it's very spacious and clean feeling! We had a lot of help from our family with the move. After the move we hung out in the spa at our complex. That night we went to see The Blindside with my family. The night before that we saw New Moon together! So fun! It was awesome having Devon and Whitney in town for the weekend! We missed them and Colton loves them sooo much!

4 Month Stats!

Colton loves his new book! Thanks Stephanie!

Colton had his 4 month check-up on Monday last week. He got his shots and did so well for the first two but on the third he lost it! It was so hard to watch my poor little guy. The doctor said he's looking great and healthy. This is his new book and he loves to play with it because it also makes noise as he touches it. Here are his current stats:

Weight: 16 pounds 3 ounces

72%

Height: 25 inches

48%

Veteran's Day!

Devin didn't have work on Veteran's Day so we headed to LA for the day. We went to the Museum of Tolerance where we learned about the Holocaust and similar events throughout history as well. For those of you that don't already know, I'm half jewish and I love that about my heritage. It was sad to learn more of such a devastating time but a great lesson they taught was to learn from history and to be tolerant of others no matter their race, culture, or religion. After the museum we went by the La Brea tar pits and then got dinner and went to Diddy Riese for dessert. Yum! It was so great spending time together as a family!

First Hair Cut!

Goodbye Mullet and Yamaka

Mommy, what is daddy doing to me?

Devin was tired of people commenting on Colton's hair so he got out the clippers. I wasn't a fan of the idea at first but I'm glad he did it because he did a great job. Colton was so calm through the entire cut.

Colton's First Feast!

He was a little nervous...

I was soooo proud!
He did so well for his first time eating carrot baby food!

Yummy!

Good job Colton! You crack us up!

Colton was so adorable for his first time eating baby food. On Monday November 2nd he turned 4 months old. He hasn't rolled over yet, he gets stuck on his side. He enjoys his playmat and bumbo and loves to grab blankets and toys!
