My Favorite Sound

...is Coleton's laugh! And this boy LOVES to play with my hair. Enjoy the silly video. :)

Sailing Away, Part 2

While drifting in my sail boat today, I decided to climb out and have a little fun.

Good thing Mommy was there to catch me.

Silly boy! :)

Come Sail Away

This morning Coleton decided to go sailing with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, all from the safety of Mommy and Daddy's bedroom.

He has so much fun in the basket! Don't you just love that laugh?

Hey Mommy!

What are you up to??

Like Daddy...

...like Coleton. How handsome are my boys??

Every morning (or if I'm really on top of things, the night before) I pull out Coleton's clothes. Clif, after getting himself ready, usually gets Coleton dressed for school. Well, before we realized it, the Fordham boys were dressed alike for the day. Blue shirt and khakis. Ah, makes my heart smile.

Happy (early) Father's Day Daddy! This little boy adores you! You are my better half and Coleton's hero! I love how he lights up when you walk in the room, how securely he fits in your arms, and how I never have to worry about him when he's in your hands. From diaper changes to spit-ups to midnight cries and midnight feedings, you have been there every step of the way. I couldn't do it without you! We love you so much!

Movin' On Up

Thursday night was Coleton's first night in his crib. Until tonight, he had slept in our bedroom in the pack-n-play. This was the best decision for us, especially while I was breast feeding and Coleton was still waking up in the middle of the night to nurse. However, we had been meaning to move him to the crib...and then he kept getting sick.

Remember: right ear infection, bronchitis for about 4 weeks, and then double ear infections?

But we took the plunge... and he's done great!

The 1st night he cried for about 30 minutes, the 2nd night 20, and by Saturday night he fell asleep in less than 10 minutes. No, we aren't just letting him cry it out in his crib, because I don't feel like that's the best choice for us. But we are trying to let him put himself to sleep, instead of depending on us. He goes down around 8-8:30 and still wakes up once a night and eats (but hopefully not for much longer). Yay for Coleton!

PS - Little man has a bottom tooth barely poking out!

Avocado

YUMMY!!

(This is the 3rd food Coleton has tried; we added sweet potatoes to his diet on 5/29)
