New Friend

Colin went to visit a new friend this past weekend. It was his furthest trip from home...ever! Jedd has about 9 months of life experience on Colin, so we are hoping he can show Colin the ropes. It is too bad that Colin really isn't up for playing just yet because Jedd went right for him. A new toy!

It was great seeing the Kings and we are so glad that are back in the area. They will have to come down soon so we can make them dinner.

Taking Time

"Every now and then you need to take a break from your busy schedule to stop and smell the flowers", thinks Colin to himself.

We all enjoyed the nice flowers from Dan and Alison and the Texas Maneys.

Aunt Alison and Uncle Dan Visit

Happy Anniversary Dan and Alison!

Colin enjoyed meeting his Aunt and Uncle for the first time on Saturday. We went to dinner at Don Pablos and after a rough start in the car, Colin sailed through dinner with no problems. Colin is looking forward to visiting DC to meet his cousins.

On a separate note, by our definition, Colin slept through the night last night. He went to sleep in his crib at 10:00 pm and did not wake up until 5:30 am. His daddy predicted last night was going to be the night and even guessed the wake up time correctly. I am not predicting a repeat performance tonight.

Colin on Chest this Time

This is one of our favorite positions. Daddy gets to hold Colin with some good quality time AND watch TV. Now that is what I call multi-tasking. Colin is getting bigger every week. On Monday he had his one month check up. Happy one month, Colin! We learned that Colin is medium height, kind of skinny and has a really tiny head. It is kind of unfair being born two weeks early, so we have some catching up to do. There are advantages though. Having a small head makes tummy time easier and it is easier to move your head from side to side.

Colin on Shoulder

I am supposed to be burping but I am feeling a little tired right now. I think I will just go to sleep.

Back Home Again

Kristin had a very scary emergency on Friday, but she is doing great and was back at home by lunch on Saturday. Kristin was very happy to be back with Colin after their longest time apart...ever. We are all very happy and relieved that Kristin is OK.

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me? I can't understand what you are saying but I think you are talking to me. Mommy and Daddy talk to me all the time. It is kind of funny because I mostly ignore them.

Football Sunday

Colin and Brian enjoy hanging out on Football Sundays. Here we are celebrating the Steelers 21-0 win over the Seahawks to go 4-1 on the season.

Not Always a Happy Baby

This seems to be a picture of someone who is tired of having their picture taken. Sometimes I get grumpy but overall I am a very good baby and a good sleeper.

See. Not long afterward I am surprised that I could have been that upset. Whoa! What a fuss!

Visit by Grandparents

Colin met his grandparents on his very first day, but he was kind of tired from his ordeal and probably does not have the best memory as a one day old. So GranT and PopPop returned to spend more quality time during Week 3. Now that Colin is 19, days that is, he was really looking forward to spending time with his Grandparents.




Colin enjoyed seeing his Grandparents again and went for his first trip to a museum. While at the Delaware Art Museum he enjoyed the Howard Pyle illustrations best of all.

Dimples and Looking Alert

These two pictures really show off Colin's dimples. I don't know if these will stick around once he can smile on purpose but they make for really cute pictures now. You also can see his spikey hair really well in these pictures.

This is one of my favorite pictures so far of Colin. He is looking very alert and much older than his 15 days.
