Colton is 5 months old!
Hmmm, I haven’t updated much in the way of Colton’s milestones lately. Let’s see, he can roll from front to back (he’s quick too… if he doesn’t want to be on his tummy, he WON’T be on his tummy). He loves sitting up and can hold himself steady for a few seconds at a time before crumpling forward (his direction of choice). Teeth are still wreaking havoc on him, especially lately. He attacks anything you put in his hands. It’s pretty funny to watch, actually. He goes after the toy like a shark. You can see it in his eyes, he has a need… a need to feed. Well, a need to *chomp*!
What else does he do? He rubs his little feet together like a cricket (or like he’s starting a fire). He does this when he’s hungry and tired. And of course, he loves Adelyn to no end. One evening this past week, Colton was sitting in his bouncy chair while I was making dinner and Addy was playing on the floor. He started fussing and I couldn’t pick him up because I had dirty hands. Without being asked, Addy got up, went over to Colton and said “No cry, Colton” and then started singing “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” to him. He calmed down and just sat there, watching his big sissy. Warmed my heart. 
At 5 months old, Colton:
- Takes 2-3 naps a day. Morning naps are usually +1.5 hrs, and afternoon naps are shorter. Goes to bed between 7-8pm, depending on his last nap. Nightime sleep has been rough lately. Some nights he wakes up twice, other nights he’s up 5-6 times. Why? Whyyyy???
- Still eats every 3 hours. He’s been eyeing our food lately, so I think we may try giving him some rice cereal soon. He’s fascinated with our cups and plates.
- Enjoyed his first Halloween as a crab.
{Colton, the turkey?}
- Is wicked awesome at the jenny jump up. Even if it’s pink.
- Loves snuggling and wrestling with sissy.
- Is fascinated with the babe in the mirror.
{This is Sophie the giraffe. She is a chew toy (really). She squeaks. Addy calls her “Soapy Soapy”.}
- Likes the park. He even went down his first big slide and had his first swing ride.
- Nicknames this month include: Bear, Care Bear, Bub, Bubba, Buster, Buster Brown, Bubba bear, Baby, Handsome, Co-ton
