Colton's Wednesday

I'm posting this picture because I think it's funny. Colton loves to lay on the floor and put his arms above his head but this is picture especially cute because his little arms are folded, behind his head. He's just chillin'

Colton must be going through a growth spurt today or else he's hungry from our walk because the little guy has been eating every 2.5 hours and is scarfing down about 120mls each time! He's slowly catching up to Sulley!

Sulley -- relaxing in the swing (thanks cousin Lucy) with her new froggie friend.

Coltdog with his new dragon

Colton and Sulley recently got a new toy -- their WUBBANUBS! These little stuffed animals have a pacifer attached to them, which supposedly makes it easier for the kiddos to get back into their mouth. It really just looks like they're trying to eat Beanie Babies. I ordered a little red dragon WubbaNub for Colton and a green frog for Sulley. When Sulley isn't trying to eat the thing, she seems to truly enjoy having her frog friend at her mouth; Colton could care less...

Hair Loss!

I awoke one recent morning to find a surprise in Colt dog's crib. No...not spit up or even poop, but HAIR! There was so much hair on his sheets, it looked as if the dog we dont have had been laying in his crib, shedding a coat! I have to admit that the hair loss initially made me sad to think that Colton may no longer have cool hair but i'm not going to let it get me down. No matter how little he has, Greg and I will do our best to ensure that he's looking his best! Besides, hair loss in babies is actually exciting since it could come back a completely different color and texture. Could we have blond curls on the way? Probably not!

Mama Tootie & Papa Fruity

Colton and Sulley had another exciting day today as they met their other great grandparent's for the first time. We went to Aunt Maaaatha's for brunch and spent some quality time with her and uncle paul and also great grandma naomi and grandaddy claude, who are visiting from SC. Colton enjoyed showing them how he likes to sleep and snuggle on their shoulders; Sulley, on the other hand, showed her strength by demonstrating her wiggle worm capabilities. Both Colton and Sulley were thrilled to have finally met their great grandparents and are excited about spending more time with them throughout the week!

The DP's Breakfast Favs

Two of Colton and Sulley's most favorite foods are peaches (grown in SC) and bacon! Both enjoyed eating lots of this for breakfast while on vacay.

First Trip to the Beach

Colton and Sulley had a blast at Hilton Head. Both did well on the plane rides and only cried while the planes were landing. We quickly shoved a bottle or paci in their mouths and they were fine.

It was a very exciting trip because we were greeted at the airport by Grandaddy David. We also were met by Aunt Kathy and Uncle Gordon, who stopped by long enough to say hello to the DP's. Colton and Sulley met Aunt Elisabeth and Uncle Jason for the first time as well as Great Grandma Margie and Great Grandaddy Ken. They were spoiled with gifts - fun toys, cute outfits, and new baby Puma socks. That's right, moooove over Trumpettes, Puma socks are hooooottt.

Hilton Head was sunny and hot - just perfect! Colton and Sulley dipped their toes in the sand and the ocean and then immediately fell asleep. We dipped Sulley in the pool and she of course found it very refreshing! We look forward to spending next summer at the beach when the little ones are able to stay out in the sun for longer periods of time and will actually be able to play in the pool!

Hilton Head

We're starting August off with a bang! We're blogging remotely and have headed to Hilton Head for the week to spend it with the Great Gma Margie and Gdaddy Ken, Gigi and Grandad, and Aunt Elisabeth and Uncle Jason. The plane ride went beautifully; Sulley got a little upset as we landed in ATL and Colton got a little upset when we landed in Savannah but both were fine as soon as we shoved a bottle in their mouth and forced them to swallow! We just took them down to the beach for the first time and they loved it! Of course they were asleep and Colton let out a yelp as the waves hit his toes, but they both quickly likened to the soft, sinking sand on their feet. Tomorrow we'll be a little more prepared and hope to snap more great pics!

We're already excited for next summer once all the babies are grown up!
