Pictures of Colter Fall 2009

It's been a whirlwind couple of months for all of us. I haven't had a lot of time to post anything on here due to the fact that our life has been pretty crazy lately. With work, Cheryl and Colter, the club, and College Football I tend to forget just about everything. Anyway, here are some pictures of Colter from the past few months. He will be 6 months old around Thanksgiving. Time has really flown by!!

Here is a picture of Colter during the Red River Rivalry. We don't normally allow Burnt Orange in my house but we made an exception this one time. The deal is, Colter's Uncle Cory is attending UT and will soon be graduating. Cory and Allison got Colter this shirt for the game so we thought that we would let him wear it this one time. You will see what happened later on.....

Obviously, Colter wasn't a big fan of UT or OU at this time. Which Cheryl and I had nothing to do with. He made this decision on his own. From what I can gather, he wasn't to excited about the "stellar" play by either team. His Dad can totally agree with that.

Here, Colter and I are discussing the finer points of the spread offense and the whole Mike Leach system. The fact that my 5 month old has a pretty good grasp on the concept speaks highly of Cheryl and myself's parenting skills. Not only is he the best looking kid ever, he is intelligent to boot!! I give props to his mom on this one.

In this photo, Colter is explaing why having a 2 back set is somewhat beneficial and somewhat hindering at the same time. While there are 2 running backs behind the line of scrimmage, that won't always keep the defensive backs honest with their intentions. You can use them to pick up a blitz or surge out for a swing pass, but the DB doesn't have to give up his position / look before the play is in motion. I'm so impressed with my son's extensive knowledge of football at his age that I........

eat his foot. That's all I can think to do at this point. Although I'm very proud of my son and his ability to understand the game of football, I'm a little worried that he will get a grasp on it and start telling me what's going on rather than the other way around. Fun to think about yet a little scary at the same time.

Here we are discussing the inner-workings of the internal combustion engine. In particular the Harley Davidson V-Twin. To make it even more complicated we have narrowed it down to the 74" Panhead. He has yet again baffled me with his brilliance. Proud father to say the least.....

Colter is only about 4 months old in this picture but he knows what he likes. At the rate he's growing we should have one big and healthy boy on our hands. The thought of the grocery bill is making me think I might need a second job to support his eating habits.

Quality father-son time. He likes to be tossed in the air for long periods of time. To the point my arms are like rubberbands. He also likes to scare other family members when we do this......

We call this one the "upside down baby". You can tell by the look on his face that this is probably in his top 5 Favorite Things. He will giggle and laugh for hours on end. I know, you are jealous of me and the fact that my son is super awesome.
