Colton

Colton hasn't had much time on this blog. But he has taken a lot of my time! Colton is an amazing little boy who is already 7.5 months old. His smile with those dimples melts my heart every time I see it. Even when it is 2am and he has already been up twice...yes we are struggling with night wakings. But I am confident (ok this is what I am telling myself) that they will be ending quickly. Colton mastered sitting up within the last few weeks and is already moving on to trying to figure out crawling. He is getting up on his knees and rocking back and forth. It will only be a matter of time before he is chasing after Peyton. And boy will I be in trouble. We didn't think ahead when we bought this new house because there really is no way for me to corral him in the living room...it is going to be interesting to say the least.

 Seriously the dimples...

 Working on crawling

Peyton can always even mid crying bring a smile to Colton's face. The genuine love they have for each other is amazing to me. Sure there will be some sibling fights and they will probably start as soon as Colton is crawling but I have no doubt that they will always be close.

School time!

It is unbelievable to me that Peyton is starting preschool. Just the other day she was learning to walk and talk. I truly thought this day would never come. I have been so excited for her to start preschool but I have also been very anxious. Peyton tends to be a little shy and unsure of new experiences. But she amazed both Dominic and I today when we dropped her off at school. She got right into playing house, gave us huge hugs and kisses and said goodbye. There were no tears!! I even choked back mine. I know there will be tough mornings but I also know she is going to have so much fun learning and making new friends.
