VeggieTales and Bolt

Koleton's 2 favorite shows! Ok so he doesn't really watch VeggieTales YET but as soon as the tuba starts "BUM bum BUM bum BUM bum"ing he stops what he's doing and turns to the tv haha It is so darn cute! He just stares at the TV, completely mesmerized by that song! I found a video on YouTube of it on my phone and played it for him in the car as well :) We were at Sam's last night and that dang store kept shocking the heck out of me! I went to give Koleton one of his cheetos and shocked the heck out of him! :( He started crying... like screaming crying! Poor kid! I got right up to his ear (after the initial "owie" shock wore off) and started "BUM bum BUM bum"ing and singing that song and he stopped crying :) Well for a few, then he remembered he got hurt and was crying all over again :(

When we were having trouble getting Koleton to sleep in his bed at night, I tried to find the perfect amount of light in his room so he would sleep. The closet light on with the door at varying levels of openness never worked right. Then I thought... hmmmm he is used to sleeping with me on the couch with the tv on! So why not put a tv in his room and run a dvd so he has the sound and the light! Genius! haha Well anyhow, he now sleeps with the tv on (movie playing or not) and it seems to be the perfect sleep lighting for him. Not only that, but he will lay in his crib, pull the crib bumper down with one hand, and watch Bolt! I'm sure he watches it before he falls asleep for the  night and when he wakes up now it's like he says "ok, mama, I'm awake!" and then goes to watching his movie lol He is so quiet in there I have to go check to see if I heard him or not... 99% of the time there he is, hand pulling down the bumper, head barely peeking over enough to see the movie :) Then when I pick him up he tries to look around me to see it! Like I'm disturbing his movie time lol He is such a goofy kid! He doesn't sit and watch tv any other time like that.  Only in his bed before or after sleeping :)

Crawling update!!!!!
Ok so he's not officially crawling yet haha But tonight was the closest he's been! (I know I know, I say that every time lol) Obviously he keeps improving on his crawling but now he can just get up on his hands and knees no problem (before it was elbows and knees). He also can go from sitting to hands and knees.  Maybe nothing I am "offering" as crawling incentive is "good enough" for him to ACTUALLY crawl lol Tonight he went for the flashing light on my pc... a few times! I had to pick him up and move him back so he wouldn't unplug anything.  His little legs were doing the crawling motion so hopefully soon! I'm hoping he is crawling before we get to AZ! So he can show everyone his new skills :)

8 Months old already!!! Geez how time flies! Brad and I see new babies on TV and both say "awwww! Remember when Koleton was that little!" No, it's not quite time for baby2! lol We are enjoying our time with the perfect angel we have now :) While I am enjoying watching him learn and grow and trying to savor every moment... I still can't wait to see the person he will become.  I can't wait for him to crawl, walk, talk, play catch with his Daddy, read, etc! I CAN wait for the attitude, talking back, not listening, groundings, etc haha All in time!
