Two "Smiley" Months!

On Sept 5th we celebrated Two wonderful months of having Kolton as part of our family. It was so great that he was able to meet most of our family in Alberta and Manitoba (posting still to come) so that they could see what a little joy has been added to our life:)

The highlight of the last few weeks has without a doubt been watching our 'smiley' boy:) You'll see from most of the pictures below, including the side bar 2-month picture with "Mr Bear", it is not difficult at all to get Kolton to show us his sweet sweet gummy smile. Often when babies begin to smile it can be tricky to catch it on camera but Kolton most certainly has not fallen into this - as long as our boy has eaten he's happy - do not try for a smile when he just has just woke up and hasn't eaten, it just won't happen ;-)

He has good reason to be such a happy kid as he sure is healthy. At our 2 month dr. appt Kolton weighed in at 14.75 lbs and a height of 23.5 inches. We just can't believe he's so big and thought for sure he had to be bigger than Kailie was at that age, however upon review of Kailie's 2-month dr. appt it turns out that these two are on a very similar course - Kailie weighed exactly the same at her 2-month appt!! Kailie did have a bit more height on Kolton though so I suppose you could argue that Kolton is a bit chubbier:)

My big babies have both blessed me with being pretty good sleepers. While we were on holiday Kolton was a real star and at just 7 weeks he was going to bed with ease and sleeping for 8 or 9 hour stretches. We did get a bit over excited though as we seemed to take a few steps back when we got home and reverted to the 5ish hour stretches, but we're blaming this on jet lag and hope to get back to these long stretches sooner than later . . . we hope!

I don't even need to talk about eating - I'll just refer you to the chunky-monkey in the pic's below!!

Kailie continues to be an amazing big sister who is always ready to offer a helping hand to her baby brother. She loves to tell everyone all about him and is always reminding us that where-ever we go we also have to bring Kolton! I look forward to many years of these two looking out for each other:)

Here are some pic's of our littlest joy.

He just can't stop smiling!

Some Sunday morning cuddle time:) Pretty easy to see which one of my babies is a 'bit' more of a morning person . . . . !

My handsome easy-going kid!

Kolton LOVES this swing and has most of his naps here - I sometimes wonder if we didn't make it stop moving would he ever wake up on is own????!

Soooooo peaceful . . .

I love this picture SO much - GG and her littlest Great Grandbaby:)

We Love You GG!

This was my favorite way to snuggle with Kailie when she was a baby, but this is a rare moment with Kolton that I was sure happy to have!

The very best time to get Kolton to smile is when he is being changed - he just loves to be naked!

Bath Time!

I'll always be in awe at how much love can be evoked by two little people . . .

Ciao!
