Do I look older?

Hi Everyone,

I thought you might like to see some pictures from my birthday party. We had a great time! By the way, I LOVE cake!!!

Inspecting the loot...



Me and my new trike!!

I had such a good time at the party, I decided to start walking on my own just after everyone left!!

Whew!! Home Sweet Home

Hi Everyone,

Collin here...remember me?

This is my first post from our new house! We have been very busy putting things in boxes, moving the boxes around, taking things out of boxes...it's really very exhausting.

But, now that we're here, this place is great. I have a new room, another room just to play in, lots of hallways and doorways to check out, a whole lot of cabinet doors to open, and, here's the best part, a stairway to climb and climb and climb! Want to know something else about this place? It SNOWS here! Yep, right now outside there's snow everywhere. I don't think we had that at our old house.

So, I guess we need to catch up. Mommy says I'm growing like a weed. I've also learned a few new tricks. My vocabulary keeps getting bigger. I say "hi", "bye", "mama" and "dada", but I've had those under my belt for a while. I'm working on a few more, but you'll just have to wait for those. I like to wave a lot - watch this video:

I also really like to give everyone high fives. I crawl around a lot, but I'm not walking by myself quite yet. I like to walk around the furniture, but when I come to the end, it's just a whole lot easier to sit down and crawl. I love to hear the "BOIIIING" of the door stops when I pull them. Next to my Mommy and Daddy, I love hugging my Blue Bear more than anything in the world. I also really like to rearrange my diapers - neat stacks are just not my style! I love it when my Daddy dangles me upside down over his back...that one makes me squeal because I get so excited! I just stay really busy all the time!

Speaking of busy, gotta go. Later gators!

P.S. In case you're wondering, I had meatballs in that top picture!! Mmm-mmm!

Snip, Snip, Oh What a Handsome Boy I Am!

Today I got my first professional haircut! Mommy & Daddy thought that I was starting to look a little shaggy, so off I went to see Mrs. AJ! She is very nice and I liked playing with her combs and clips. Here are some pictures of my first real haircut:

The finished product - Don't I look great?

'Twas the Week Before Christmas

Eureka! I've been searching high and low for my Christmas present, and tonight I found it!! It was hiding under our Christmas tree!

Just as I reached it, I was CAUGHT!! Mommy came back and found me.

Mommy laughed at me and then helped me pull out my present so I could really inspect it. After I looked at it, banged on it, and chewed on it a little bit, I climbed on top of it.

I still don't know what's in it, but it sure is fun!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

A Day in the Life

Hi Everyone,

I've been having lots of fun lately. I love standing! Here's a little clip of me practicing...

On the Move!

No, we're not moving into our new house yet, but I'm on the move! I've been "army crawling" since last Wednesday! I'm kinda slow and it's not easy, but I can make to Mommy or Daddy from across the room! Now that I know how, I practice all the time - like this morning when Mommy was trying to take pictures of me in my overall outfit Aunt Michelle got me before I was even born. (Sorry Aunt Michelle, I just have to keep on the move - no time to stop and sit and smile pretty for the camera!)

Trick or Treat!

I got to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. You wouldn't have recognized me...as a dragon! I was really scary and practiced growling (roaring) all week! I don't get it though. I thought you were supposed to get candy when you went trick-or-treating. I saw Mommy & Daddy eat a little candy, but I never even got a taste. Happy Halloween!
