It has begun. The "No" period. It really started the end of May and has been in FULL FORCE every day. That and "Huh?" which drives me a little batty too. "What are you doing Colton?" "Huh?" "Where is the butterfly?" "Huh?"
Always wanting to be like his cool parents, here Colton is trying to walk in my shoes:
We got a new entertainment center and Colton was really enjoying his new hallway "jungle gym" before we moved it into the hall bedroom.
Good place for a snack!
Missed events: Easter
I think we missed Easter photos, so wanted to make sure to include those. This was the first easter egg hunt, and Colton proved himself to be a master egg hunter. He still enjoys this game when he finds my stash of plastic eggs or finds a random one he lost in his toy pile.Poor child, Easter ended up being a long day for Colton and by the time we got around to doing our egg hunt at home, he was super tired (note the red eyes) and a little cranky. He did NOT want to wait for Poppa to finish his shower to play once he saw that basket!

Easter Camping trip:
We actually camped the weekend of Easter at Stone Mountain and had a great time. The weather was actually nice and we had a fun time on our first tent camping trip as a family!
Sunrise Easter Service on the lawn
Yes, he is in his PJs as we had to wake him up to go.
He enjoyed running on the lawn and running and running...
Helping Poppa put the tent together
Hmm, wonder if Poppa is going to need these tent stakes I took off with?
Fun in the tent!
Such carefully laid blankets and he ends up like this in the morning
Bungee cords are awesome!!
We had a lovely brunch with the Y grandparents and family. Colton and Justin bought me a much loved Frapaccino and the other gift Colton gave me was that he pooped in the potty!
He has been doing pretty well with using the potty. Sometimes he tells you he has to go but usually we ask him if he needs/wants to go and (if he doesn't say NO!) he usually tries and we have been impressed with how well he is doing. He thinks it is great fun and giggles and wiggles his feet during the 'event' and of course it is very exciting with all the cheering when he is done. Let's hope this continues and I'm heading to my favorite store, Full Bloom Parent, for some cloth training pants!
Zoo!
A big mouth sighting...
Big helper!
Zoo Atlanta is doing this awesome program with county libraries and we were able to get in for free! Colton was already free so we found a man with two kids and got his kids in for free with us! Bargain for all! Colton had a blast seeing the animals and all the people. He also greatly enjoyed helping push the stroller. I wondered when we would get to that.
Me Mouse!

Me Mouse!
Colton doesn't watch much TV, but a couple months ago he caught a few Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes and is hooked. He LOVES ''Me Mouse'' and wants you to turn it to that whenever the TV is on, or whenever he can get a hold of the remote. My mother says she is going to record episodes with their DVR for watching whenever he wants, but I think I'd rather be old school and let him learn that sometimes it just isn't on when he wants to see it. At any rate, he enjoys dancing to the Hot Dog Dance and is super excited whenever 'Me Mouse' is on!
The boys relaxing in bed, probably watching "Me Mouse!"
Big Trucks!
Colton loves to see tractor trailers on the road, or any large vehicles for that matter. He gets very excited and says, "Big!" "More big!" He can actually say, "Big Truck" if prompted, but prefers to refer to them as just "big." If he is getting cranky in the car, we can usually distract him with a nearby big truck or just the idea of looking for one, at least temporarily!
Fun Pictures!
He refused to take the hat off to take a bath. It was just too funny.
We got a new armoire for our bedroom, and again, Colton enjoyed this new jungle gym. The video is hilarious of his confusion about how to hide and say, "Boo!"

Wasn't quite done with his nap in the crib..
Mmm, burritos!
"RACE!!" is a daily activity that usually involves Colton chasing us around the house. We all crack up and he just LOVES it!
Already have my 2 year birthday post pending, I promise!!
