In honor of his 18 month birthday, Colton decided to share 18 things about himself...
1. I LOVE my binki and blankie. There is talk that my binki might disappear, but if I have it my way, I'll be taking it to college with me.
2. I can't stand when mommy takes her cell phone away from me. I go through all the trouble of digging in her purse and then it just gets taken away. I usually scream. A lot.
3. I love to smile...and flash one to everyone... no matter who it is or where we're at. I think it helps to make the world a better place.
4. I love to play ball. Any size. Any color. Any game. Any time.
5. I HATE time-outs.
6. Snuggling at night with my mommy is a renewed interest I now have. I used to think that I didn't want to rock anymore...but now I've decided it's great and I could do it forever.
7. My dad is the best toy that's ever been invented.
8. If it were up to me, I would live outside. I say that word really well now. "Owww-side"
9. Cartoons in Mom & Dad's bed look better than the one's on the couch.
10. I call phones a "Nana" I think it's because mommy is usually talking to Nana on one and to me it's like the same thing.
11. I love food. The proof is in my cheeks.
12. The best place I've been taken to so far is the beach. I love the water, the sand, and the freedom.
13. I haven't let my shorter leg slow me down one bit. I walk. I run. And now it's on to jumping.
14. Big people veggetables are GROSS! Baby food veggetables are YUMMY!
15. I am happiest when Mommy, Daddy, and Dog-Dog are all with me.
16. I'm becoming a good finger-painter.
17. Mommy tells me I'm so smart. I believe her.
18. I love being bigger now and knowing how to do so much. But I know mommy gets sad sometimes and says I'm growing up too fast.

Weekend Away
This weekend we headed to the coast to get away from this awful heat. It was so nice!!! On Saturday we spent the entire day at the beach. Colton was in heaven...
There is nothing that my child doesn't like about the beach. He loves it all...even down to the sand in his hair, mouth, and diaper.
And now it's on to Monday...I hate Mondays!

A Quick Update
I'm just so lazy about the blog thing lately. I've had pictures from San Diego that I've wanted to post for weeks now. They're coming...I promise.
Life in the Kaiser household is at a norm. I'm heading toward my 8th week of pregnancy and the funny thing is...my pants are already seeming to become more snug. Way earlier than when I was pregnant with Colton! I wasn't ready for that yet...and I refuse to wear maternity clothes so early!!! I've had kind of an all-day "morning sickness" queasy feeling. Some days are worse than others and then there are those days I feel pretty good. I've tried to monitor what I'm eating to see if anything sets it off, but haven't come to a pattern yet. I'm sure the 100 plus temperatures aren't helping! I do come home every day and longingly look at the couch for a nap...a luxury I had the first time around. However, life with a toddler does not permit such things! I basically sleep any chance I get on the weekends when Colton goes down. I was scheduled for an ultrasound today to see/hear the heartbeat, but the appointment was cancelled. So I'll fill you in on that next week.
First grade has been a lot of fun. No more pee...or vomit...or kids running away out of the classroom. Last Friday we painted pictures of fish with water colors and the room was SILENT. Then one little girl commented that it was the best day of school ever and that she couldn't wait to come back on Monday. There are a lot of cute comments here and there that help to make it a lot of fun. And they are SO excited when they learn something new! I do still miss my sweet 5th graders and have had a lot of last year's students come to visit. They hang out in my classroom and help the 1st graders on work or help me. I think I miss the conversation that I could have with the older kids and they way I could relate and connect to them. It's just a different ballgame with the little ones!
Anyhow, I will work on some more pictures! Colton seems to get bigger by the day. His newest word is "outside"...usually said in question form as he points out the window. Pretty cute.
