A Half Birthday and The Terrible 19

Colton turned a half year old today, while Cooper turned 19 months. Colton's his normal self, but Cooper's been throwing the worst fits I ever seen. We think he might be sick. The thing is we all just got over being sick. I was sick first and then two days later it was Cooper and then two days after that it was Colton and then a few days after that we think we passed it on to Aunt Donna, Uncle Joey, and Grandma Stella. Grandma Stella even went to the hospital. I wasn't that bad, but it was the sickest I'd been in years.

Colton's already had his 6 month appointment and he weighed in at 21 pounds, 13 ounces. Only a gain of two pounds since his 4 month appointment. He fell from 98th percentile to 94th percentile. Maybe he's not going to be the world's youngest sumo wrestler. He's getting more exersauce for sure. Today he sat up on his own without any assistance. Alas, my rechargeable camera batteries are not holding their charge very well and that picture didn't make it to the camera.

Colton is such a happy baby. He should have his own trademark, Colton B - The Happy Baby (tm). He's in direct contrast to Cooper who is moodier. Cooper can be happy, giggly or he can be the whiniest little guy in the world. Little things upset Cooper. Colton is pretty happy as long he gets fed occassionally, you give him a little attention, and he has a clean diaper. It's amazing to me that two brothers from the same parents can be so different.

From last Friday at Ponderosa.

On our way out of the house yesterday. He got a little cranky when we woke him up to put him in his carseat.

Cooper on his half birthday. Looking at some of the pictures from back then, Cooper seems to be a bit ahead of Colton on the sitting up part, but then he was a rail compared to Colton and he had much less weight to balance.

The Nearly Lost Photos of Colton and Cooper

I've been neglecting this blog again. I hear people are getting angry with me. My approval rating has dropped to 42% among registered voters and Grandma Stella. I must turn the tide. I don't have much time, but I'll post some pictures from the last couple of weeks to hopefully sedate the angry mob.

The boys are fine. They're bestest friends. Cooper likes to walk up to Colton and laugh. Colton will reciprocate with a laugh and/or a beaming smile. Oh, to dream that it could always be so.

Cooper cracks me up with the random things he will do.

Colton is on the verge of crawling. Another month and I think he may be there. He certainly has the desire to move. He does not like to sit still anymore.

The shirt Cooper is wearing is actually supposed to be Colton's, but Colton can't fit into it.

Cooper's Halloween costume from last year still fits Colton, barely.

He can't keep his shirt in sometimes.
