Colin vs Summer

So far Colin has taken a few licks from summer.  Scraped knees and very swollen bug bites have given him a few scabs.  Putting "stuff" on the bites seems to do the trick but the scrapes......anything put on them is traumatic.  Unlike mommy and daddy, Colin doesn't seem to mind the humidity.  Get wet in a kiddie pool or the sprinkler is always enjoyed.  Hopefully we won't be kept inside to much from the heat this summer.  Our playtime outside is always fun.

We had a busier month than expected.  There was a tip up to northern Maine to say a final goodbye to Grammy Findlen.  Cousin Emmett had a very fun 1st birthday party.  Colin also did his first strawberry picking.  We are waiting for other picking season's to come up now.  There has been a couple occasions for play dates too.  Colin is great at sharing toys and being a nice, gentle playmate.

Colin's learning is pretty amazing.  The alphabet, counting, colors, speech...all amazing.  He wants to learn and he is doing a great job of picking things up.  He repeats the last two words said to him, usually.  He's working on counting to 10, he at least knows those numbers and can identify some.  About 1/3 of the alphabet can be identified on his alphabet mat.  We get a play-by-play of cars on the road now; "boo cah, ye-yo bus, wed tuck, BBBIIIGGGG TUCK"
