Dentist!

Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE going to the dentist. I look forward to it every 6 months. So I was so excited when, at his two year check up, Dr. Talbot said that I should get Colton to the dentist sometime in the next year. I was ready to call and make an appt then but had to wait until January when I could sign him up for dental insurance. Today was the big day. Colton went to the dentist. I took him to Dr. Escue, the same dentist I went to from when I was little until he kicked me out at 22 years old. I was his oldest patient. I was getting Colton psyched to go to the dentist all month and it worked. He was excited. He played on the boat/fish tank that they have in the office and was just having a great time. The nurse came out and asked for "Booker" and Colton said, really loud, "Why did she says Boogers." It was a little embarrassing but I couldn't help but laugh. Then it was our turn. They took us back to a separate exam room. The nurse gave him a balloon which he was very excited about and then Dr. Escue came in. Colton laid on the table like a big boy and let the dr. look all in his mouth. He got a little aggitated but overall he did great. They didn't do a cleaning this time. They will do that in 6 months when he's a little older but his teeth look good and he has no cavities. That's my boy! We will continue to work on brushing and not just sucking on the toothpaste and then he will have his first cleaning in 6 months. So exciting!

Toddler Talk

I have decided to dedicate this post to the funny things Colton has said recently. It's so fun to watch his little brain work. He figures things out and pieces things together. I know he's my kid and everyone thinks their kids are smart, but I really do think he is a genius. He remembers things that I don't think normal 2 years old remember. This morning we were on our way to my moms when I asked him why he woke up in the middle of the night last night crying. He looked at me and said, "I don't know, baby." I cracked up! The other night we were folding the baby's clothes and he picked up some pants and said, "They are so freaking tiny!" Where does he come up with these things? Sunday night, we were watching football and he ran to get his football from his room but couldn't play unless I put his Peyton Manning jersey on. Football players wear jerseys not pajamas! My bosses name is Elmo and Colton asks me eveyday if my Elmo was a work today. I think he thinks my boss is red. Charles was in the other room and Colton wanted to ask him if he liked milk so he started yelling, "Daddy, Daddy." When he got no answer, he screamed, "Charles!" He knows his birthday and remembers it. He loves Peyton Manning or at least his Peyton Manning jersey. He loves football but understands that it is not football season anymore and that it is now soccer season. He loves to cuddle and watch Cars. He will climb up on my lap if I'm on the couch and say, "I want to talk about your baby." He hates wearing pants and always wants to have a pants off dance off. He is stubborn and hard headed but he is also the most loving, sweet, cuddly and cutest little boy ever!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! The Moore Family is looking forward to 2010 so we can meet our new baby girl! I went to the dr. on Dec. 31 and everything is fine. My glucose test came back high so I have to go take the 3 hour test next week and I am a little anemic so I got put on iron pills but everything with the baby looks good. We spent New Years at my mom and dads with a few family members. Colton actually stayed awake until 11! We bought some sparklers and other fireworks and he loved them! We are looking forward to 2010 and all it will bring! Happy New Year!

Christmas 2009!

Merry Christmas 2009! This year was an eventful one for the Moore Family. We went up to Granbury to spend Christmas with Charles' family. We went up on Dec. 23 and when we got there I started throwing up. I didn't stop for 7 hours. We ended up going to the ER at about 10:30 that night and I got 2 bags of saline and some meds to help me stop throwing up. The next day I felt much better. Then on Christmas Eve, we woke up and it was snowing! We went to Dallas to Mark and Beth's house. The snow didn't start sticking until around 3 or so. We left Mark and Beth's house to start our journey home. When we got closer to home, the roads became very slick and we started sliding around. I was so scared! Colton was oblivious and was just having a great time. We couldn't get through the road to go to the house so we tried a back way and ended up pulling over at a Waffle House to wait for John to come and get us with his bigger 4 wheel drive truck. Then John got stuck behind an accident so he went a different way and was finally able to come get us. Then we were heading home! We finally got home around 9:45. We woke up on Christmas morning and it was a White Christmas! Colton opened all his gifts and we started playing with them. Charles and John went to pick up the truck that we left in Weatherford the night before and when they got home we went to Southlake to Kellie and David's house. Everyone was there, all the brothers, grandmas, aunts, cousins, etc. We had a nice Christmas. We headed home and, thankfully, the trip home was uneventful! We played with Colton and his toys all night and then headed home the next morning. Thank you Meme and Pappy for a Christmas we won't soon forget! :-) Here are some pics of our adventure. The video is of Christmas morning is kind of long but I wanted to post it in case Colton wants to see it when he gets older.

San Antonio!

This weekend we took a little trip to San Antonio to watch the TX High School Football State Championship Game. Colton rode public transportation for the first time and liked it! We rode the trolley and the bus. Katy played Abilene and Abilene won! We were only there for less than 24 hours but we had fun anyway.

Santa!

Last night Colton went to see Santa. He was very good and just hopped up on his lap and told him he wanted Shake and Go Cars for Christmas. While I was paying for the photos, he asked me "Where are my shake and go cars." I think he was expecting Santa to give it to him right then and there!
Here is the pic.

Happy Birthday Jesus Party!

Here are some pictures from Colton's Happy Birthday Jesus party at school. How cute is this?
