We borrowed Seth's parents camera last night and shot some video of Colton so we could finally update our blog!
I was serious when I said I can't blog without pictures/videos.
January/February has been great and Colton has hit so many milestones.
First, he moved up to the Sunbeam class at church and really had no issues making the transition.
Second, he "graduated" from speech therapy! It was 2 years ago in January that this whole process began and we can't believe how far he's come! The best is hearing him say the word "graduated"...
Third, he got to give the scripture during Primary Sharing Time. We had been working on memorizing the 1st Article of Faith so that was the scripture he did - all by himself! (He started getting nervous about it right before Church though, so I had to promise him some chocolate chips as a reward). He did it though without any help and was so cute! I'm pretty sure that even six months ago I didn't think this would be possible.

I've promised myself that when I'm having a hard day with Colton I'll watch these videos to remind myself just how great he is!
We are still looking for permanent employment but know that it will all happen according to Heavenly Father's timetable and not our own... although there are times when we wish He didn't "trust" us so much!
Our little baby boy is getting bigger... if you've seen me lately you know what I mean. I'll have to borrow the camera again and take a picture. Almost on a daily basis Colton walks up to me and says right to my belly: "Baby Bennett, can you hear me in there?" It still cracks me up! Oh and yeah, we're pretty sure he's going to be named Bennett! Still not sure on a middle name but we've got time.

What a cute name! I'll try calling again today--it was busy the other day. :D We miss you guys too! ANd I have to tell you what Xander said about moving and friends!!
That's a really cute name!! I like the name Lane to go as a middle name. Bennett Lane Traeger. Has a cute ring to it. (hey, we're doing a park day on the 24th, next weds at Summitt Park in Mesa. at 10:00am if you wanted to go)
Yeah - you are alive! I was wondering about you the other day. You are on top of things already having a name picked out. We still just knock ideas around.
And look for jobs out here in PA - don't you want to be an East Coaster??
That is ADORABLE! Colton we miss you! Love the name you guys chose - and i'm SO glad you updated I've been thinking about you so much. How are you feeling these days!?! I want to see a pic of you and little Bennett :>
I am so proud of your son, that is SUCH an accomplishment. It's hard to remember just how far our little boys have come until you look back and take the time to reflect on their progress. I'm so glad he's out of speech therapy, what a blessing. I wish I was at church to see you and the baby bump. I bet you look adorable! Miss ya tons.
Love the name! Yay for Colton. That's so awesome!!
I posted that comment on the wrong post, but I can't see the videos!
Congrats on having another boy! And, I definitely approve of the name :)
