Silly Boy

Colby's latest "thing" is saying cheese for the camera.  Or making any sort of silly face when the camera comes out.  I've not had the camera out too much lately.... so he must be getting lots of practice while at school.  Here are a few shots of his "thheesse" face.  He doesn't quite at the "ch" sound down yet.... it's all a work in progress!




And of course..... a picture with a toothbrush.  He loves those things!















I guess he was having a rough day that day.... he was a little fussy.... but Molly got a good hug out of it.















I love the way she puts her leg overtop of him.  Precious!

What's a Dentist?

The dentist.... this early?  That's what I thought too! 

Turns out Dr. Cremer, Izzy and now Colby's dentist said we started our little guy just at the right time.  Colby had gotten in 4 of his molars over the past couple of months.  Seems like we waited forever to see that first little tooth pop through.... now he is 8 teeth away from having a full mouth of them! 

 

This little guy.... just 2 days away from turning 17 months old was a pro at the dentist. 

The nurse came in first to brush Colby's teeth and then brush a foam over them to cut any tartar that had built up on them.  Colby laid in daddy's lap with his head in the nurses lap quietly while she brushed away. 

Then Dr Cremer came in and looked around in Colby's mouth... still... a perfect little gentleman.  It appears Colby will be getting in his "fang" teeth soon.  These are labeled as being the most painful for a toddler.  Mommy and Daddy aren't looking forward to that part as typically Colby gets a fever and is super cranky and tired just before a tooth reveals itself.  The fever scares us.... but mother mode kicks in and you do what you have to!

Colby walked out of the dentist with a new toothbrush and an alligator head cover.... as usual the toothbrush stayed in his mouth most of the time. 

If you ever come to visit.... you will notice small toothbrushes all over our house.... it's Colby's fetish I guess......

The FW Stock Show with Family

Over this past weekend we had the pleasure of hosting my dad and step mom at our house.  We enjoy visits from our family and friends especially now that we have Colby as he's grown up so much and so fast! 

My dad had spotted the Mule Show on at the Ft Worth Stock Show and Rodeo on the schedule for Saturday so it was a must that we attend!  We enjoyed a good BBQ sandwich, watching the mules pull carts and jump, watching a rodeo.... little man paid attention very well except when he fell asleep and Danny got his annual boot shine by the cobbler! 

After the rodeo we decided to take Colby over to the small animal tent filled with goats, calves, rabbits and llama's which we could feed.  The line was long.... but Colby held strong to make sure he got to feed some treats. 

We were even surprised by Uncle Ryan! 

As you could see.... Colby had a tough time fighting off his yawns.  Mommy and Daddy were so proud of him as he was going from 7 am - 8:30 pm with nothing but about a 30 minute nap.  This guy usually sleeps 2 hours just after lunch.  I think Lolli was trying to make him feel better about yawning.

Colby, Lolli, Uncle Ryan and Pa made for a pretty picture!

Daddy started tickling Colby to wake him up!

I love this picture.... show's how my little man is NOT afraid of anything.  No FEAR!

Colby was grabbing one piece of food at a time and trying to shove it into the calves mouth.

And who can visit the Stock Show without saying hello to Borden's Elsie and her baby calf!
