Colton will only eat food that he can feed to himself. on a rare occasion he'll eat food off of our fork or spoon. he's over veggies, except for cucumbers...especially since he's tasted the sweetness of sugar. he loves to snack on goldfish, cheerios, and ice.

3 bottles a day of whole milk...and if you forget to warm them up he'll let you know!

nap schedule is up in the air and totally depends on the day.
option 1 =
wake up at 6:30 am, nap 9 to 11 am, nap 2 to 4 pm, bedtime at 8 pm.
option 2 =
wake up at 6:30 am, nap 12 to 3pm, bedtime at 7 pm.

cute quirky boy...
Colton will take the favorite item of the day to bedtime with him. This could be the remote control to the dvd player, a book, stuffed animal, plastic Easter egg, granola bar (still in wrapper), comb, really anything that tickles his fancy.

Little boy blue,
You are the sweetest thing ever! You wake up happy, handing us your giraffe, then bunny, then blankie. Only then are you ready to be picked up. You love to read books and will bring us a book to read all day long. You tend to have your favorites and open up to those pages and point to the froggies to count or the pictures of the little kids in the Bible. You love to go into your room, slide the closet doors shut (with you on the inside), you open the next door and come out with the cutest "here I am!" face. Then you reach out to us to touch fingertips, then back to the sliding closet doors you go! We do this over and over and over. Once you wake from your afternoon nap you and I cuddle on the couch munching a snack of crackers and water. You are so loving. You give kisses and hugs just because. It warms this momma's heart.
