Finally

Hi everyone and Sorry!! I am ready to get started on blogging again. Colin is doing great!! He is almost 8 months old :( He now has two teeth and just spent the last week being sick for the very first time. It was hard for all of us! It is no fun seeing your baby feel sick. Despite being sick, Colin never slowed down haha He is a mover. He goes and goes until he falls asleep. He has been known to pass out in the middle of playing on the carpet! I am adding a picture from his 6 month pictures! Hope everyone enjoys! I'll be adding more soon!

It's been to long

It has been a really long time since I updated this but I am going to try and get back to it! I lost my camera for awhile and it made it difficult to get pictures on my computer. Colin is now 6 months old!! He is sitting, crawling, and starting to pull himself up on things. Hard to believe! We have had such a great summer. We didn't do too much but we did go to the lake for the weekend a couple of weeks ago and Colin loved it! He loved going on the boat. He yelled and laughed when the boat was going slow and would pass out as soon as we went fast. He looked so funny in his life jacket. Colin also went swimming a couple of times and I'm pretty sure he is going to be a water baby! I am looking forward to keeping up with the blog from here on out. Hope to keep it updated with lots of pictures of Colin!

doctors visit

We went for our two month visit today!Colin didn't mind the doctor at first. he got to be naked which he loves!!! we first went get weighed and as soon as the diaper came off he peed everywhere :) We found out he weighs 12 pounds!! This double his birth weight! The doctor said most babies don't double their birth weights until 4 months. He said since he was small it was easier for him to do it. He also grew 4 inches!! Our baby is getting big!!
He really didn't mind laying on the doctors table as you can see. he was squirming and stretching. We asked about his sleeping on his side because that is usually how Colin falls asleep. mid wiggle :) He said it was fine!!
The first thing the doctor said was look at those blue eyes!
Finally he got his first vaccine. Brian and I decided to go with a delayed schedule so he only got one poke today and only cried for about 30 seconds. This is his first band-aid :(

playoffs

Colin is ready for the playoffs!!! Loves sitting in his new chair and looking at his feet

Look how strong I am!! lifting his head up!!
This baby LOVES being naked. Most nights when he starts getting grumpy we take off his clothes and we have a happy baby!
Funny face!

Easter and more

Little man loves tummy time. He likes making the toys swing above him. He just laughs when he does this!! Love this shirt to. It is so true.
He is starting to kick his feet a lot. He throws them up in the air and laughs.
Colin got to meet his cousin Owen. Owen was excited to feed him. He kept saying "baby" He was really gentle with him. What a good cousin!
Allison got to hold Colin and feed him by herself! It was pretty cute. she was a really good helper while I was there. She made sure Colin had everything he needed.
Colin on Easter! He got him bumbo seat which he is really starting to like and some photo albums that we need to fill with pictures so we can look at our family every night!
Sorry this one is sideways. This is Colin and his Aunt Erin. I LOVE the smile on Colin's face.
Sweet sleeping baby!

looking good

My cute smiley baby!
Colin and dad playing video games
Colin sporting his new baby legs from Grandma Larkin. They are great for when they start moving around on the floor so they don't get carpet burn. They are also nice because unlike pants, you don't have to take them off for diaper changes. As you can see Colin loves them :)
Colin looking good in his new hat. It was beautiful today and sunny so we had to wear a hat. Super cute!

the flirt

We are still going for our walks as often as possible. We usually get stopped by someone to talk about Colin or Tracker! colin stays pretty warm in his camo fleece from Aunt Mary and Uncle Brad. We were out the other day and the neighbors wanted to see Colin. The neighbors are two blonde women. As soon as Colin spotted them, he started smiling and flirting. When we got back to the house Brian said "Good Boy" and I said what did he do? Brian said he saw blondes and started flirting. haha He is starting pretty young.
He totally looks mad in this picture but I promise, he isn't! He was smiling up a storm so I got the camera out aand this is what I captured. haha Colin is really starting to interact with you when you talk to him. He loves it when you make funny noises. He turned 8 weeks this weekend. I can not believe how fast time is going. Thank goodness I have spring break next week and can spend lots of time with him. I can't wait until summer and three long months with my baby!
This was colin right before we went to visit the Easter Bunny. He didn't even scream when the bunny was holding him. I will have to see if I can scan the picture so I can post it on here! We are looking forward to Easter since Colin will be meeting many of his aunts, uncles, and cousins.
This is Colin and Brian's new trick. I screamed the first time I saw it and then made them do it again so I could get a picture :) Colin went to his first hockey game this weekend. Brian's team played in the afternoon so we took Colin with. He actually looked like he was watching it. He must have liked all the colors flying by. I took him into the "bar" (not a real bar but its what everyone calls it) to feed him. He spit up a little and some of the hockey players told him not to worry about. He wasn't the first to throw up in a bar. He got to wear his hockey skates again. Everyone loved them of course.
