First Foods

We gave Coleman his first solid food today. We decided to go with some avocado instead of rice cereal which we gave to our other kids. He seemed to like it okay. He looked a little confused, but ate the food okay without spitting much of it out. Jackson was my photographer for the event and took a ton of pictures. I narrowed it down, but there are still a lot. I just love the different facial expressions he made.

Trying to grab the spoon.

Jordan started trying to get in the pictures with him. We had to send him away because he started putting his face and hands in front of Colie.

Avocado face.

Happy to have real food!

6 Months Old

Coleman is already 6 months! Can you believe it? We definitely can't. He's getting so big so fast.

Here's some info about him these days:
He still loves being held and hates being alone.
When I go near him when he's sad he gets happy, but if I don't pick him up he starts crying.
He tries to put everything he gets his hands on his mouth.
He loves bath time.
He doesn't like laying down for very long.
He likes when the tv is on.
We sometimes still have a hard time getting him to sleep at night.
He's very smiley.
He likes when his brothers and sister jump.
He also likes when they play with and talk to him.
He loves playing with his feet and trying to eat them.
He likes to give and get kisses.
He loves being tickled.
As of about 2 weeks ago he weighed about 13.4 lbs (about 3rd percentile) and I think 24 inches (maybe around the 10th percentile?)
He doesn't sit or roll from his back to his tummy yet. But he's getting closer to accomplishing both.
He's still super cute.

4 Month Old Coleman

Coleman is 4 months old already! We can believe it. In fact, I told Jack a couple days ago that Coleman is 4 months old now and he said "we don't want him to grow up." After I agreed he said we also don't want Kenzie to grow up. But he did say he wants Jordan to grow up (and Jordan said he does want to grow up too :)). Jack then told me that he doesn't want to grow up because he doesn't want to leave us. I told him he could live with us as long as he wants... After that we were talking about how Doug and I will be his kids' grandparents and he said, "you guys will be old.... I don't want you to get old." He's a sweet boy :)

And now back to Coleman... Here's some pictures from 3-4 months.

My friend made this hat for him. Isn't it so cute?

My friend also made this hat. She's very talented.

I found out that if I cover the flash on the camera that the pictures turn out red. I thought it was pretty cool...

I really love this picture.

Here's a few things about him these days:

He rolls over sometimes from his tummy to his back but not consistently.
He loves when we say "Colie, Colie, Colie, Colie,Colie"
He doesn't like to be alone.
He loves being held.
He smiles a lot.
He loves his siblings and gets so happy when he sees them and especially when they talk to him. (whenever he smiles at Kenzie she says "Colie's so excited to see me :))
