Happy Halloween

October was a fairly eventful month.  We found out that Colin is a good traveler when we flew out to California and also that mommy and daddy are not.  The infamous Colin pouty face has been captured on film.  Colin was a turtle for Halloween and a glow in the dark skeleton and a cute baby in Halloween duds.  He is very conversational, especially when naked on the changing table.  He enjoys taking showers or baths with mommy and daddy, drooling a ton, standing up while holding onto adult fingers, sleeping for up to 5 or 6 hour stretches at night sometimes and of course ceiling fans.

Hobie is a big fan of snow and unfortunately mud.  She's gotten much better about boundaries inside the house and has learned to knock on the door to come in.  We've finally found toys that are difficult for her to destroy.  Bunny has moved outside into his bunny condo.  Unfortunately you'll have to wait until November to see pictures of the place.

Here are the pictures this month:

Poor Colin

Yea!!!  Unscheduled doctor visit!!!

Colin is a bit under the weather with his first cold.  He's been very stuffy which isn't fun for anyone here.  Apparently baby colds can go 2-4 weeks so we've got that to look forward to.  The doctor also said that he looks good except for the congestion.  So saline up the nose it is.  Colin isn't to thrilled with that most times.  On the plus side stuffy nose baby talk is quite adorable and he doesn't seem overly affected by this.  I think we may have lost more sleep than he did. 

 

Poor Mr Stuffy

2 month checkup

Two month check up apparently means 2 shots.  The first one brought out Mr Furious, the second was a shock and that brought Mr Evenmorefurious.  He was fine 15 seconds later though.  He weighs 11.5 lbs and is 23.5 in long.  Ceiling has have been discovered and they are the greatest things since cookbooks.  He's more talkative and active.  Can't wait for laughs and rolling.  There will be plenty of pictures for Oct, just you wait.

2 Months and Counting

So Colin will be 2 months tomorrow.  Since we are traveling tomorrow we are posting today.  In the video you can see his 'conversational' skills are improving.  He talking to the animals on his bouncy seat.  He also getting more aware and interactive every day.  The cookbooks are old news, it's light bulbs now.  His drooling abilities have grown exponentially.  It seems he is able to drool more liquid than he takes in.  He's also developed the habit of being extremely fussy from about 5-8 or so.  On the other hand, he is getting better at taking longer sleep sessions at night.  We can't wait to see all the new things he is going to do.
