10 months and counting...


We are smack dab in the middle of Collin's 10th month of life and are amazed at the fact that he will be ONE in six short weeks. I'm already brainstorming ideas for his big Halloween Birthday Bash and can't wait! I love the fact that I have a Halloween baby. Collin has really started communicating with us over the past 2-3 weeks. He now says Mama, Dada, Baba, Sissy, bye-bye, more, and ball. He waves hello and goodbye, signs "all done" when he is finished eating and shakes his head no when he disapproves of something. He still eats like a little piggy and I have yet to find a food he does not like...he eats EVERYTHING...even spinach! Maddie could take a few pointers from her baby brother as far as veggies are concerned :-/ He has started taking a few steps here and there, but crawling is still his prefered method of getting from point A to point B...I am absolutely FINE with this. His favorite thing to do is climb. A couple weeks ago, he climbed out of his crib in the middle of the night.... He loves stairs, steps, boxes, chairs...pretty much anything he can get on top of. He loves being outside...LOVES it. I can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can let him play outside more frequently. He is limited to mornings and evenings with our current 100 degree weather. Sissy started school last week, so Collin has been geeting a lot more one-on-one time with mommy. I think he misses his sister, but I know he likes the extra attention he gets when she is not here. He also likes having free reign over all the toys in the playroom.

Happy 10 months buddy! We love you to pieces....

Mommy, Daddy & Mads :-)
