Colter William...

Oh my, Colter is seven months old already!  We are all so ga-ga over this kid.  Here are some of the fun things Colter is up to at seven months.

He is crawling on a professional level and has figured out how to find Momma in any room of the house.

He loves to play peek-a-boo and eat paper...in fact, he is a paper-seeking-missile.  No matter how clean I think I've made the floors he manages to pull paper out of no where and promptly choke on it.

The big kids love playing with Colter.  Clare and Adell are happy to include him in their games of baby, school and princesses (he is always a prince).  Lorien just loves to dote over him and Wyatt is trying to teach Colter how to rough house.

 Colter is the most charming baby I've ever met.  When we are out and about he spends most of his energy smiling and twinkling his eyes at all the ladies we meet.  He stops hurried shoppers in their tracks with a drool-filled grin and keeps the charm on until they have to pull themselves away.

He is super ticklish.  Under his arms, on his thighs, the bottom of his feet, his belly--everywhere!  He peels out the greatest baby giggles when we tickle him, it is hard not to tickle him too much.

He is a good eater and cheerios are his favorite solid food.

He is finally taking a pacifier...I am unreasonably proud of this fact.

Adell and Clare were sitting with Colter and Adell commented: "Look, it is like Colt is a camp-fire!"  

I know, the floor doesn't look super-clean but I spent a good 10 minutes crawling around picking up every scrap of paper...I don't know where he found this one?  Is he keeping paper in his pajamas?

All the kids like to try and give Colter shoulder-rides, much to the horror of responsible adults watching.

Clare is trying to get Colter to sit in a chair so she can play school with him.
