We hope that you all had a lovely Christmas!! We certainly were blessed in 2009 and hope you all have had a wonderful start to 2010! Our Christmas cards are slowly making their way out to everyone, better late than never. :-) Doesn't help that Brigette feels the need to write a note in each one...it does peeve her to get a card that is not even signed by the people who sent it BUT we do absolutely understand families with kids and the time it takes. Sometimes you have to choose and getting the cards out on time sometimes will trump signing or writing notes! Obviously, not for Brigette. :-)
Christmas was great fun!! Had one day with Justin's family and another day with Brigette's family. Colton got all dressed up and was adorable, even though he didn't have a clue what was going on! The most he did was chew on and drool on his gifts, but we all enjoyed it!! He seemed to enjoy all the colors and the twinkle lights on Brigette's parents' tree. Was such fun remembering that a year ago at Christmas we shared our news with everyone about being pregnant and now Colton is here and is already 6 months old!! If you want to review the reveals again from last year, here is the link:

Cuddling
My uncle is crazy!
Reading "T'was the night before Christmas" with Poppa
With Grandpoppa Y!
Colton is obviously not impressed with the gift opening hoopla.
Christmas cuties!
Unnessarily cute outfits:
Colton was visited by Santa twice this year, although I don't think he was sure what was happening either time. Brigette is annoyed she didn't know about Santa coming to the daycare and didn't get Colton dressed up very cute-seems like only Ms. Claus was excited that day anyhow. :-) So just sharing the first visit with Santa pictures:
Colton is just doing all kinds of interesting things these days. He is facinated with his hands. He opens and closes them and turns them around. He thinks it is very interesting! He also likes to suck in his lips, which is very cute. Will try to get a picture to post. He has this slient laugh that is so cute! He smiles, opens his mouth and....makes no sound. Pretty cute, although his real giggles are awesome. :-)
This week he has figured out that it is fun to roll around in his crib at night. Which means we have to get up and rescue him when his foot or his arm is sticking through the slats on the crib sides. Brigette also heard this odd noise one night and thinks he was sucking/chewing on the side of the crib for some unknown reason. :-)
Colton was sick with a stomach bug last week again. Poor thing. Brigette had to change them both after every meal. He was on and off with throwing up most of the week. Did fine, then went to daycare and was fine, then was sick again. Hopefully it is gone now. Good thing because he was not going to drink that Pedialite junk we tried to give him to keep hydrated. The worst thing was the night that he threw up in bed while he was sleeping. :-( It got in his eye, his ear, his hair and of course all over the bed. He was so upset and so were we!!! Thankfully he seems to be feeling better now.
Have lots more fun stuff to post and hopefully will do so faster than this last post!!
