6 month update!

so im finally uploading stuff for you all to love. here's just a few of the many pictures i've taken. if you want more, you can steal them at thanksgiving. they take way too long to upload.

all the way up on his hands!

chillin with great grandma!

so big! sitting up all by himself!

Collan's first halloween. i made him a costume to be max from where the wild things are.

his six months appointment. he doesnt like getting shots, but he was perfectly happy before they poked him!

he loves his tub time!

and eating the washcloth!

he loves to laugh at mommy. cuz she's a nut.

this is in the car in utah waiting for amy and andy to get home from work. he was perfectly content playing with his little toes :)

this was the first time he really sat up well, for more than a few seconds!

this one is because he's so darn cute :)

this is his first beanie that he loves to wear

collan and his new cousin dannika

thats all for now. at his six month check up he was 26 1/2 inches tall ans 19 lbs 6 ounces :)

4 months!

Collan had a doctor's appt yesterday, and we got dr. groberg. So far so good. He's 24 1/2 inches long, 16 pounds 4 ounces, and chubby chubby :) he got his second round of shots and did really good, only cried for e few seconds. but last night, he got a fever. which is crazy cuz he was still super happy and talking to us, and giggling. i had to give him three doses of tylenol through the night, and it finally broke about 5 this morning. he got to sleep with us most of the night, so i could feel him. and the doctor said not to feed him in the middle of the night, but where he wasnt feeling too good, i let him last night. and he needs attention now, so i'll write more later

update

So Collan is almost 4 months old now. he weighs somewheres around 18 pounds. he has a check up on the 24th, so we'll know for sure then. he hasnt been sleeping any better. last night he woke up almost every hour. ive tried putting a little rice cereal in his milk, but its doesnt seem to be helping. although he does spit up less with it. he's hungry a lot. but doesnt eat much in one sitting. he almost holds his own bottle tho. im exhausted.
we're buying a jetta today for half its worth. its a really nice one. and we'll get great gas mileage. we got a lizard too. his name is frank. he's a little water dragon. bowser wants to eat him :) we went camping last week too. just up above kelly's canyon. from tuesday to sunday, and then i started laundry, and our dryer broke. the heating element is freaking out and i dont want to burn down the building. it still under warranty, i just need to call sears and get it fixed. i hate the sears here. all the employees are incompitent. anyway, not much else going on. still fighting thrush and stuff, but we're trudging on. still breastfeeding. and he's calling me now. till later then...

Like a Champ

poor little collan got his first shots today. and he's taking it like a champ. he got quite upset when they were initially given, but he's just a smilin away now. he's thirteen pounds, one ounce. 22 and a half inches long, and healthy as can be. well, thats about it...

so, i have like a million pictures to upload, but as to save you all from an overload, i'll just do a few this time. mostly of collan's blessing tuxpeedo :) a few of random days as well.

Oh the joys

Talk about your lazy Sunday afternoon...

poor little guy has been so fussy all morning. he finally just passed out...

the monster!!!

our little baby boy is already seven weeks old. i took him for a check up type thing at the wic office on monday, and in the last month he's gained 3 pounds and only grown 3/4 of an inch. he's a chunky feller :) but he's healthy in that respect. for his height he's in the 50th percentile, and his weight, the 98th. all around size he's in the 95th. i got weighed too, and in the last month, i've lost 10 lbs. :) its pretty awesome. i weigh less than when i got pregnant! yay! and i was thinking of joining jayme when she drives up to washington at the end of the month, but haven't decided yet. its a long drive when you breastfeeding. but matbe we can figure something out. we'll see i guess. not much else going on. just staying at home with my monster. oh, and i cut my hair. about six inches off. its about as long as mom's now, if not a little longer. it stays out of the way when im feeding collan, and he has a harder time reaching it to pull on it. :) thats all for now i suppose...
