Mr Handsome's Conquers His Nemesis

First off, sorry this wasn't out sooner. Halloween was very busy and then Mommy's birthday was also quite packed. So this is getting posted today.

The big news this month is that Colin had blood work done and it came back showing no allergy to peanuts!!  We went in to the allergist and did a peanut challenge (which is very boring...bring toys).  He passed, so peanuts are okay.  Hooray!!

The beginning of the month was quite busy.  We went to the Topsfield Fair which he thoroughly enjoyed.  We then drove up to N. Maine for a few days which he also enjoyed very much.  Colin climbed the 'mountain' up where mommy grew up, Haystack.  It was a bit over 1000 ft with some small areas of climbing boulders.  Colin did great and made it up to the top with no problem.

Colin is quite the debater at home.  Since he's figured out that no is an option and that just "no" is not an acceptable response, we get some arguments from him.  It mostly follows the format:

Not Colin: "Colin, it's time to [do something that needs to be done]"
Colin:  "Wwweeellll, I'm going to do [the exact opposite].  You can do [thing that needed to be done] if you want to."
 We don't know who does the long 'wwweeelllll'.

It's pretty funny watching him pick up or mimic some mannerisms.  We try and figure out which of us is the guilty party.  Sometimes we really don't know where he picks some things up.  He loves to answer his phone and carry on a conversation with someone.  He paces the whole time.  Neither of us do that so we don't know where he picked that up.  He's a little grown up 3yr old


This time we're trying Flickr for the pictures since most sites are cutting their embeding slideshow features.  Even Flickr is but you can work around that.  Hopefully this works out.  You need to click the Show Info tab to see the captions for the images.  At some point in the next couple days there are some videos to get posted as well.
