Colton

Colton is my 2 year old, my cheeky, too much personality for one little body, toddler. He is one of those kids that everyone who meets him says "he is so cute", and it's not always the way he looks, it's his huge personality.


I was a little worried about him when he was a baby because he just didn't talk. When I took him to his 18 month check up, the doctor asked if he was saying 10 words, I had to say "no", he was barely saying "Mommy" or "Daddy" at that time. She said we would re-evaluate at 2 years and if there isn't enough improvement we would have to discuss speech therapy. It was shortly after that, I got laid off from WFHM and was able to spend more one on one time with him. Within a couple of months he was talking up a storm. No one could really understand what he was saying, but after a couple more months, I was able to translate...and now, much like his big brother, he doesn't take a break much. His favorite saying is "go to Ma-Pa's house to eat MEENTS (mints)" which is a catch all phrase, he says it for everything, including yelling it at cars that honk or on the rare occasion (LOL) when I honk my horn. He'll yell it at them. He is one of those kids that when you're walking through the store, he's waving and saying "HI" and
"BYE" to everyone we pass.


He is constantly making people laugh, just like his Daddy. We laugh because Greyson looks just like Tobin, but acts like me and Colton looks just like me and acts like Tobin. It is never a dull moment when they are around.



Like most kids, he loves to dance and sing. When we're cleaning his room, he'll say "sing Mommy". He'll knock on a closed door, if you say "who is it", he'll say "it's me toton" He used to call himself "Nahners"...who know's how he got that out of "Colton". The kid is a brute too, he'll tackle and bring down Greyson. He doesn't think about how much smaller he is than Greyson, he'll start a run at him and take Greyson down at the knees. It's hilarious. He's also inheirated his Daddy's pitching arm. He's been throwing a ball (straight into someone's hand) since before he turned 1. Life in my home is never boring!!!!
