OH YEAH?!?!?!??!

This is Koleton's favorite phrase now! He laughs and laughs when I look at him and ask "oh yeah?!" almost yelling at him! Of course not really yelling, but he thinks it is so funny! He seems to be feeling so much better this week! He is happy and playing and just a normal baby :)  His appetite sure has returned! Yesterday his eyes were way bigger than his little tummy... he had cereal with bananas for breakfast, an hour later I gave him a 4oz bottle, then he was acting hungry again so he had an entire container of sweet potatoes! Little piggy! It was his naptime so I tried giving him some juice. Normally he will just have a little of the bottle, especially if he is full, and fall asleep. Apparently he loves white grape juice cause he downed 4oz of that too! I was sitting him up (asleep) on my chest and all of the "overflow" came up...everywhere. He had just eaten too much! That was all in a 2 hour period!  We went out shopping yesterday with Amanda and Zoee and he was so good (of course!).  Just chilled in his stroller - even took a nap!

Today, after his 6:30AM bottle I put him back in his crib, awake, and he fell back asleep.  Just now, I laid him in his crib, awake again, and he pretty much rolled over and went to sleep! Going to try giving him his bottle before his bath tonight, then say goodnights, maybe add a book to the routine, then just lay him in his bed.  He may go to sleep on his own during the day, but he will not have it at bedtime! It is so sad seeing him be so independent and not needing me to rock him to sleep, but on the other hand I want him to be able to put himself to sleep, so it is a good thing.  Happy and sad at the same time!

Taxes were filed yesterday so fingers crossed we get the money as soon as they say! I want to make sure we have it so we can start planning our trip to AZ to visit everyone! I'm trying to get Koleton out more so he isn't so shy around people when he first meets them. Of course, he will be almost 9 months old and at his "stranger danger" phase :( I'm hoping to break that though! He is already showing signs of it. He doesn't quite understand that when you cover something up with a towel (for example) it doesn't disappear.  Same thing for when Mommy or Daddy leave the room. If we aren't in sight, we must be gone.  I'm hoping he figures this out before we head out there! I hope everyone gets to meet the happy, sweet, funny, cheerful boy we have! I'm sure it will all work out... he can't help but be all of those things! :)
