Our little Colter is now three months old, and still is as cute as ever. He is smiling more and more and even beginning to giggle. Colter loves to be held, and cries when he is left alone. He needs to know that someone is always close by. It makes it really hard for me to get anything done, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. It seems that he gets bigger and bigger on a daily basis. He weighs around 11 lbs. What is happening to my tiny baby?
We are amazed at how well he can hold his head up. He also likes to stand up, which is something that took Dallin six months to do. Colter loves it when Tanner sings to him; even if he sings off key, and he always sings back and giggles in response.
Colter loves his daddy, and always gives him the biggest grins. He has a thing lately where he smacks his lips, and sucks on his hands rather loudly until we feed him. I am still breastfeeding Colter; however, I have wanted to give up on it a few times. It's hard for me to have to sit down several times a day to feed him. I know it is really healthy for him so I keep doing it.
He still has "unbelievably" bad gas, and I mean unbelievable. He is not only quite loud at times, but it smells really bad. He is so smelly that I make Chris take him to priesthood, because I don't want the ladies in Relief Society to think that stink is coming from me. No one is going to believe that something so tiny and cute could smell that bad.
Colter is sleeping anywhere from 6 to 9 hours before waking to eat. I welcome the 9 hour stretches, but they have only happened a couple of times and seem to be happening more often. Yippee!!
Colter loves to be in constant motion. He loves to ride in the car, and cries when we stop at stoplights. He also enjoys riding in the stroller, and grocery carts, but cries if the movement stops. He still loves being in his swing, and will sometimes sleep in it for a few hours. He also likes to look at lights, and a new thing we have found that will keep him entertained for a little while is watching the visualizer and listening to music on itunes.
Eventhough Colter can be pretty stinky, we love him to pieces, and feel so blessed to have him in our lives. He really is a special little guy, and we are glad Heavenly Father sent him to us.

He cries at stop lights? That makes me laugh. How cute is that? He is so darling.
You know you NEED those moments to sit and nurse him. All that other stuff you are trying to get done will wait. Your baby won't.
I love that Tanner sings to him. Kimi would "read" to Shelby when she was tiny. Shelby loved it. Me, too. It sounded a lot like blah, blah, blah since Kimi was barely 2:)
Love you all.
Cute little Governor is getting so big!
I think I recognize that blankie. The little person on it is sure a cute one..............
