3 Part Christmas: Part 2

Before I share some pictures from our amazing trip to Colorado with my family, I have some news to share about Colton!
I THINK HE'S ALREADY TEETHING!!!  It's hard to be sure, but he has been a little more fussy lately, he's drooling like a mad-man, and there is a hard, white bump in the middle of his top gums.  Could it really be a tooth coming through?  If it is, I hope it doesn't come in crooked - I don't want my perfect baby boy to have a messed up tooth!  The timing was ironic - Colton started teething (if, in fact, he really is) the same day I put him in the "Teething Bites" onesie he got for Christmas from Aunt Charissa and Uncle Robert.  Hmmm....
I know that this is a big milestone for Colton, but I've found that it's really making me sad!  I feel like he won't be my little baby anymore once he starts getting teeth.  He'll be growing up!  Couple that with the fact that I packed away his newborn & 0-3 month clothes last week and you have one mildly depressed mama! ;o)

Anyway, check out our Christmas in Colorado pictures.  Thanks, Mom and Dad, for making this trip possible!


Colorado was so cold - almost every day was 10 degrees or less!  We bundled Colton up and his body kept toasty warm.  His poor little face, though, got windburn or something.  It was all chapped and red for a week!

Aunt Jenn gave Colton one of his bottles.

Colton really wanted to ski.  We had to explain to him that in order to ski you must be able to walk!


Big Poppy bonding with Colton.

Uncle Jeff holding Colton - I don't know who was more nervous, Jeff or Colton!

I got to ski two days while my mom watched Colton!  Jenn and I were ready to go!

Sibling love!

Family of 3 - too bad Colton is so bundled up he just looks like a little lump!

Hey Linds-

Cute pictures!
2 comments from me today....

1. My mom and dad go by Grammy and Poppi for their grandkids too....how cute is that that Colton and Braxton have the same names for their Grandparents!

2. We thought Braxton was teething too becuase of a lot of the same symptoms you mentioned. But my doc told us yesterday at the 4 month check up that a lot of babies drool and chew long before the first tooth actually comes in...sometimes months. Also, babies typically get their bottom 2 middle teeth first. Key word is "typically", all babies are different. It is so hard to tell. We though B was getting a tooth 3 weeks ago...but still nothing. However, i also read that some babies can get teeth as early as 3 months....so keep us posted about Colton. I'll be anxious to hear if a tooth pops through.
