Happy fall!

Well, it is fall so it is cold and wet here.  We went from some very hot days hanging out in the AC to flirting with the idea of turning on the heat.  The season change seemed to come suddenly.  Went from dressing like this on the left to that over on the right.

















We've noticed that the changes Colin shows aren't happening the same way as before.  It was almost like each week he would be able to do something new.  Now they are more gradual and sneak up on us.  He mostly improves what he can do.  He walks great, running isn't too far away.  He does try to.  His single syllable language is his own.  Da (with pointing)= down, Da = dad, Da = dog (usually finger wagging too), Mam = mom, Bap = nap Ba = bath.  You get the idea.

Colin's internal conversations/thoughts must be hilarious because he will just walk around then break into laughter.  This will happen a lot during the day.  He will also break out in dance if there is music playing from his toys or the stereo.  His dance/bounce is getting pretty good.

We have the Topsfield Fair and apple picking coming up next so those should be some good pictures in the Oct album.  Here is the Sept. album:


Colin was going over to Bigfoot and falling onto its belly.  It was quite adorable.  We couldn't get him to duplicate that, but this was pretty amusing and cute.

Colin has a thing for blindly falling onto or into things like his stuffed animals or mommy and daddy.  Here he does it going into his crawling tubes (a bit slower than normal).  It's his normal entrance into them.
