Random thoughts

At Colter's 9 month checkup, the Dr gave me the green light to start on table foods. Being nervous about this, I had to take it slow. I started Colter out with the little puffs and occasionally things from my plate. This past week, I am getting more comfortable with the idea, and have been a little more aggressive. We have had chicken, hamburger, banana's, chocolate pudding, beans, etc. So fun! Just like it all is, at first.

Colter has decided that he does not need our help eating. He wants to do it himself. Fine, but he still has a bit of a hard time getting the food into his mouth. I feel like he is not getting enough to eat. I know I shouldn't worry, but its part of my job.

I was so excited that Colter could walk with me holding his hand, however know the little turkey thinks we should do it all of the time. He will let you know he is not pleased if you don't. My hips are all ready killing me from carrying him around. I am not sure if they can take the constant 90 degree angle.

Diaper changes have become interesting the past couple of days also. I guess someone thinks its funny to squirm all around and make it difficult. One time, it was so bad, that I had to pin him down to get one back on him. I guess that was a hoot, because he really started laughing at me. Unfortunately, I could not resist his powers, and I let him crack right through my irritated state. I couldn't help but cave and play along.

I got a really good laugh the other day. Al looked at Colter and started talking to him in a funny voice. Colter put both of his hands up over his ears and had a funny look on his face. It was so funny, I almost peed my pants. It would be so nice if you could get a warning before moments like these. Then you could catch them on video or picture.

Its Friday!!! I hope you all have a great weekend. Try to stay cool!
