Colin's Top 10 pasttimes as of 6/29/08

10. Banging on things. Loudly.
9. Pointing at things that I want.
8. Crying when Mommy and Daddy don't hand those things to me.
7. Feeding myself in my high chair.
6. Going for strolls.
5. Swimming and taking baths!
4. Clapping my hands and waving bye bye.
3. "Shaking my booty" to any kind of music.
2. Walking, and I'm getting better and faster by the day!
1. Playing with any and every television clicker I can get my hands on. (I have hidden one from Mommy and Daddy and they STILL can't find it!)

These were my two birthday cakes. My babysitter, Meg, made the blue one for me!

This is me in my party hat. This picture
was taken about 2 seconds before I
had a major temper tantrum due to said hat.
I am not a big fan of headgear. (Or footwear).

I wasn't quite sure what to do when Mommy and
Daddy brought out my cakes and everyone started
singing Happy Birthday to me. I just sat in my
chair and stared. (I was VERY tired at this point - it
had been a LONG DAY and to keep things interesting,
I decided not to take a nap that morning!)

This was my own personal cake that Meg made for
me to eat all by myself. As you can see, I wasn't
very interested in it.

Evenutally I tried some, but I still wasn't very happy
and had to go take a nap :)

I wasn't quite sure what to think of Elmo when I
opened up his present, but you can see below that
it didn't take long for me to like him! I laugh and
"shake my booty" when he sings the birthday song!

This is me working on my Neil Peart impression.

This is me and Daddy having fun at dinner!
I've gotten so big, we can do lots together now! I
like to give Daddy high-fives, we roll the baseball
back and forth to each other, clap our hands, and
wave bye-bye. That is, when he can get me to stop
walking around the house long enough to play! I'm
all over the place these days!

This was me after I tried to shampoo my
hair with corn (and peaches).

Yeah that's right. I eat big boy food now.
You gonna do somethin about it?

That's what I thought.

This is me and Daddy, waiting for our friend Nick's
pool to fill up. (It obviously took a while!) But I had
lots of fun splashing in the water while we were waiting!

The next day, we went back and I got to go swimming
in my cool new "Crazy Crab" float. I LOVE the water!

It started to rain, so I hung out in the pool house and ate cheerios!

Hi everybody! Sorry to be so out of touch - I've just been really busy lately! I've started walking, drinking milk, hanging out at the pool, having birthdays..... so I haven't had much time for blogging. But I'm back now so you can stop worrying! Below are some pictures from May when Uncle Craig and Mommy graduated from UNCG. Aunt Sally and Cousin Connor came to visit and stay with us, and we had a blast. I hope you enjoy these pictures! Stay tuned - birthday pics & pics of me in the pool are coming next!















My best Neil Peart impression.

"Pssst. You let me play with the green toy

for five minutes and I promise I will help you get your foot

out of the cup holder."

Hi everybody! I have been so busy lately you won't believe it! I promise I will put some updates on here very very soon - pictures from mommy's graduation, pictures from my birthday, and pictures of me walking! So stay tuned!

Colin
