4th of July—Part 1

Our 4th of July weekend started on Friday the 1st of July. My sister and brother-in-law held a party so we headed over there for food and fireworks.

My brother-in-law made his pulled pork which was delicious. I made some yummy red, white and blue strawberries that everyone loved!

We hung out with family and friends. I just love this photo of Colson with his GiGi (my dad's mom).
Hannah and grandma played with hats aka food strainers. :oP It was pretty hilarious!
We had tons of fireworks and it took forever to open them all. But it was worth it because they were beautiful.


We didn't take Hannah to fireworks last year so I was worried about how she would react to them this year, but she loved them! I told her that when the fireworks went off we should say 'ooooo' and 'ahhhhh'. Well, she did just that! It was super cute.

And because I thought it was cute...I got a photo of my feet, my sister's feet and my mom's feet because we wore our festive 4th of July red, white, and blue flip flops! :oP

I'll post more about the rest of our weekend at a later time!

Happy 5 Months, Colson!

Our sweet boy is 5 months old today.

 Here is an update on Mr. Man:

– wears size 2 diapers
– wears 3-6 month and 6 month clothes with an occasional 3 month pant or short
– eats 7 ounces every 5 hours and still sleeps 8-11 hours each night
– people have seen him roll both ways (tummy to back and back to tummy) although I have yet to see it. Plus he is a bit lazy...instead of rolling over he will just use his arms and legs to push himself around in a circle to get to the toy so the rolls don't happen all that often anyways.
– can push himself up into a triangle with his feet (chest on the ground but butt in the air??? My boy is weird)
– reaches for toys and brings them to himself
– will reach for our face when we talk to him
– smiles all the time
– he has given us the occasional belly laugh (super cute!)
– still not a fan of bath time although he has stopped crying during them. Instead he just has a constant look of confusion on his face
– loves to 'talk'
– still hates the carseat--unless it is in the car and the car is moving
– sleeps un-swaddled but is still in the cradle. 6 months marks the big move to the crib in his room *tear*
We love you, Colson!
