Not much of an eventful month after the holidays. We've been cooped up indoors with the cold wintery or wet springlike weather. Colin has tried out some new winter boots in the snow and rain puddles. Stomping is quite fun and interesting.
It's much easier to go out with Colin now. He's able to entertain himself a bit, which helps. Being big enough to walk around is also a big thrill for him. Not having to carry him is nice now that he is getting heavier.
New stuff with Colin....hmmmm. He's taken an interest in the potty. We get coached on what to do if we don't do things as quickly or as he wants in there. Hopefully this is an intro to potty training. He apparently knows the routine well enough to keep us in line. Single syllables are Colin's words still. Some letter sounds like "s" or some blended sounds are still tricky. He is able to communicate well. Body parts and animal sounds are subjects Colin is proficient in. Colors are coming along. Purple and blue can usually be named and picked out of his crayons.
Here's some animal sounds and a tickle monster:
