Lots of Firsts

First: Trip to the Lakehouse

Colton scored a C- on his first roadtrip, but since then he's done much better.  We went to the lakehouse mid-December so David could go hunting and we could visit his family.  We had so much fun we went back 2 weeks later!

First: Trip to Houston

We surprised Nana and Pops by showing up a day early.  We left Colton on the doorstep...after 3 knocks (they're slightly hard of hearing) they finally came to the door and were quite surprised to see their grandson! 

This is Colton after the long road trip to Houston.  

Here's the note Colton was holding on the doorstep when Nana and Pops came to the door. 

Here are a few more pics of our time in Houston:

First: Meeting Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

The pictures say it all...a very sweet time meeting Jenny's grandparents! 

First: Christmas 

We loved introducing Colton to his Houston family on Christmas Eve.  He got lots of fun toys, clothes, and books from his loving family! 

 

Cousin Hannah loved looking at Colton, - she was very sweet to him and loved to pat him when he was crying.  

First: Colton and Daddy go hunting (kind of)

 So, Colton didn't really go hunting, but he did don some cool camo to celebrate daddy getting a big buck last Monday night.  

Other fun firsts of Baby Colton's:
