This blog is dedicated to my three very busy boys - Walker, Hunter and Colter. I journal here, so I can remember all the fine details and memories made of what it is like to be your Mother.

Colter - 4 Months

I can't believe that Colter is 4 months old! My baby is growing so fast. This baby stage just does not last long enough. Colter is such a wonderful baby - I am sure lots of Mom's say this, but truly he is such a good baby. He hardly fusses, he has just a sweet personality, always smiling, laid back just a good, happy baby!!

The BIG change this month was that I had to stop breastfeeding, I'm not really sure what happened, I just seemed to have lost my supply. I struggled with feeling so guilty, I really wanted to solely nurse, but it just has not worked out that way. I think that I have come to grips with it and I am certain that Colter is just as healthy and happy. We are using a soy-based formula and he has had no stomach issues, this is a huge blessing. He takes a bottle like a champ, he can even hold his own bottle.



Out growing the sink!



Loves bath time
