Ooooh toodles..

I really hate letting Kolton watch TV. I swear up and down he's not going to be a TV junkie (like his momma) However, us mommies know that when your child shows such attention to something, you can't help but give in to them. While I'd clean up after Kolton's breakfast or why he'd play in his playpen I'd put the TV on Disney. Usually he'd pay absolutely no mind to it and continuing doing whatever. However, as of lately, he can NOT get enough of Mickey Mouse. The second he hears Mickey's voice, or the start of any music he rushes to get in front of the TV. I think it's the cutest thing ever that he has found something he likes so much!

Cruisin...

The doctor asked me if Kolton was walking along side of furniture (aka cruising)

And he does!

Here's some pictures I snapped of him walking around the furniture "chasing" Cooper. Cooper kept moving from him and he didn't like that!

Check ups -thumbs ups

Kolton, Emma, and I all had check ups Monday. All is well with all three of us! My belly is getting bigger, my back is starting to hurt a little more, and I stay exhausted. But who's complaining? Emma's heart rate was great, and she's moving and kicking like crazy. Kolton is growing like a weed, his weight and height is right on target, and his motor skills are right on target (and some advanced) His doctor told me to get ready, he'll be walking soon. Which I'm actually excited about. I know he'll be into a lot more things, and I'll be busy with him (like I'm not now?!) but he wants to be SO mobile and I think he'll just enjoy being able to walk. He's 29 inches long, 21 lbs, and his head is still 19 inches. Last time we were there she was a little concerned with how big his head was, but it hasn't grown anymore, and his body is catching up to his head. Woohoo! While I was filling out the baby survey of all the things your child is able to do, I came to the conclusion I have a baby genius on my hands. Ha! Don't we all say that ladies?

I love the weekends.

I wish everyday was a lazy Sunday. Monday through Friday seems to always be busy, and our past couple weekends have been pretty busy to. It seems like it's been forever since we can wake up Saturday morning and say "Okay, what do we have to do today? Nothing!" and oh, that's such a good feeling. Although we had to run to a friends house for Kolton's 9 month pictures, the rest of our weekend was planned to just be lazy. Which is my favorite. We did a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and was lazy bums. Sunday was no different, however I just have to share with you guys this yummy dinner we had.

Before Kolton came along it wasn't a thing for my husband and I to waltz into any restaurant. Now we have to constantly think about the menu, if they're kid friendly, how fast the service is before he has a Monster fit (who? My son doesn't have melt downs, lol!) Well, we happened to stumble upon a place that said on the sign "Calypso Dock Bar and Restaurant" I see bar and think, oh keep on moving, but I asked the guy if they were kid friendly and he said "Absolutely!" When we first walked in I seen high chairs and thought, oh shew! A boy he was not lying when he said they were kid friendly. They absolutely ate Kolton up! They gave him crackers, would stop and talk to him every time they walked past the table, and even gave him a little hat. So there's one thing out of the way, excellent service. So how was the food? Can I just say the menu didn't impress me too much. It looked like someone just printed it off the computer, so I wasn't expecting anything special with the food. But holy goodness, it came out with a 5 star presentation. My husband and I both got crab cakes, and they were the best crab cakes ever. (Sorry Fiddlers in Savannah Georgia!) I was only suppose to get one cake with my dinner, but the chef gave me an extra one since it was small. Uh, it was NOT small! We will going back there for sure!!

That was my great lazy weekend!

My handsome little boy eating up all the attention.


He wouldn't keep the hat on!


Yes I took a picture -it was THAT good!!
