Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
Other than heat, not much new. I met with a job ajency last week, I am determined to find a full time job. Don't get me wrong I love being at home with Colton, but some extra money wouldn't hurt. So hopefully with the help of this company I will find something. Colton is finally feeling better! And he is so close to walking. He could do it if he wanted to but he just doesn't realize that yet. One of these days he is just gonna go, and I better be here to see it.
UPDATE: We just back from the pool and it was awesome. It is so hot outside that just being in the water was nice. They have a very nice, very shallow wading pool but someone added too many chemicals so it was closed today. So Colton and I had to hang out in the big pool. He loved it. He loves to be in the water, and he even finds it funny when you dunk him under. Now he is napping (swimming really wears him out) and I am going to try to get some cleaning done!
We spent all last weekend up at the lake and it was great. It was so relaxing. The weather was perfect. And becuase the lake is so shallow (way down due to the lack of water the past few years), the water is nice and warm. Actually maybe a little too warm in some spots! Colton loves being at the lake. Although once he is walking it will be much better. He is still crawling everywhere and let me tell you he is quite dirty by the end of the day! We are planning on going to the lake again this weekend, and this time Frankie got off work so he can go too! We bought Colton his own life jacket and we are planning on getting him in the boat for the first time! I hope he likes it.
In other news, Colton goes to the doctor today for his one year check-up. So we will find out what he weighs and how tall he is! I am sure he is about off the charts by now. He also has a very red and swollen eye ( I think it is Pink Eye) so we will be getting that checked out. We plan on taking him to see Fire Works tomorrow, as long as he is feeling good after his vaccinations and his eye is better! We are still waiting for him to take his first steps on his own. He walks along the furniture like it is no big deal but he just won't let go! We are also hoping to take away bottles soon, but it is not easy. We are only using them for naps and bedtime, but that is going to have to stop and I am not sure if he will ever sleep again! Okay well I have to get going, I have to feed him lunch and then we are off to the doctor. I will update about the doctor visit later this week.
UPDATE: Well we just got back from the doctor and he was very good. He weighs 26 pounds and 12 ounces and he is 32" tall; which puts him the 90th percentile for both. He got 3 shots and he did very good, he cried of course but that is to be expected. He also had to get his finger pricked to they could check his blood. He didn't seem to mind that too bad which surprised me. And the doctor confirmed my guess.. he has Pink Eye! So we have drops to put in his eyes every 3 hours for the next week. Other than that he is as healthy as we could have hoped for!
