11 Months Old!

The pack 'n play is permanently in our living room now, just to keep Colin out of the way sometimes!

Colin is no longer allowed in the kitchen! He actually does a great job at stopping at the edge of the carpet and just watching me from there. And no, he didn't get the bottle of margarita out!

He loves his learning table! (Thanks Aunt Andrea and Uncle Ryan!) He is tall enough that he doesn't have to walk around to play with the other sides, he just leans over.

Another favorite- putting the bucket on his head!

Our Curious Colin

Happy boy listening to Al Roeker! He's just happy to be standing up there. He's only managed to turn the TV off once or twice.

11 months old!

A new stroller- something smaller and easier to get around

What a cutie! :)

Where has this whole year gone?? Colin is going to be one in just a month! I was at my doctor's office the other day and Colin's baby photo was on their bulletin board- it was hard to believe that was my baby! Colin is doing great! He's all over the house of course, but we're glad he's so mobile and able to explore. He stands up on anything he can and crawls all over, and really quickly! He has 7 teeth coming in (4 on bottom all the way out and 3 on top only half way out). He's doing better eating "real" food, mostly fruit pieces, Gerber puffs and crunchies. He's starting to use his front teeth to bite off portions of his food which is progress. He's all too quickly heading towards wearing 24 month clothes and wears size 4 or 5 shoes. Mostly because of his height. He doesn't say much, but babbles all the time. He does call both dogs Dee Dee, and occasionally says what sounds like Doggie. He can say Mama (mostly when he wants out of his crib) and he says Dada all the time. He does say Daddy when he's in the mood to do so. He does have a few bad habits- like head butting things he wants to show love to (us, the dogs, other kids) and biting- not out of meanness, but either uses it to steady himself or again to show love. He also points with his middle finger! Don't know why- just does! I'm trying to fix that. Rodney and I are the same- busy with church and work. We're so excited to have our families come next month for Colin's birthday. Something to look forward to!
