cuter by the day

Here are more pictures of our beautiful little boy. He changes so much day to day that I can't help taking a bazillion pictures of him. And his facial expressions make him look so different that I find myself taking a bazillion pictures when I only mean to take one or two of him smiling. So I hope you're not sick of him yet, because here is another post full of pictures of the thing Colin does best—make faces.

He looks so long in that nightshirt. (I'm calling it a nightshirt instead of a nightdress because it sounds more manly.) His toes are almost poking out. He's too big to sleep sideways in his crib now—he has to go longways, the way big boys do.

Colin's wearing an outfit from his cousin Donovan, so naturally it has soccer balls on it. I thought it would be cute to take a picture of him a soccer blanket too. 

Doesn't he have the cutest little bum?

Saturday was the first BYU game of the season, and Colin and I got decked out in our Cougar finest to go to Caleb's house to watch the game. He was a little sleepy when we tried taking these pictures. And he kept trying to cover up the Y with his hands. 

When looking at me, keep in mind that some nights I don't sleep so much.

Colin watching the game the way his Dad does—sleeping through it.

When he woke up he had lots of fun playing with his Papa. Papa had him smiling and trying to laugh while they played "Got Your Toes" and other grandpa-style games. 

We also celebrated Caleb's birthday with food and a tiny bit of Rock Band (thanks to goobery-fingered children playing with the game disc). Then Nate and I went home and I threw up. Nate thinks it was a bit o' food poisoning from some bad strawberries. I felt like I was pregnant again with my head hanging over the toilet.  :)   That's it for now. Today has been pretty boring. Maybe we'll do something fun for the holiday and have more to post tomorrow. TTFN.

So, for some reason my posts are now out of order. Please to be scrolling down for the long, detailed post.

mini post for Hannah

Stay tuned for the rest of the update coming at a time when I don't have a fussy baby in my arms. (He makes it hard to type!) Thanks for the gear Hannah! You're the b-e-s-t best. See you in a few weeks.

2 months of colin

The wee one is napping off and on right now, and he's not too happy about getting shots yesterday, so this may be short and it will probably take a long time to type with one hand.

Yesterday was Colin's 2 month checkup. He's doing great! He weighs 11 pounds 13 ounces and is 23.5 inches long. That puts him around 80% for both. Colin was well behaved for Dr Porter. He kicked and cooed during his checkup and kicked and screamed during his shots. But the nurse was fast, and he calmed right back down. Then he got to go out and eat with Nana while I got checked out. Looks like I'm doing pretty good too. I still have about 10 pounds to lose, so I guess I need to start exercising or something. (Shoot.) And, good news!, I'm having the 400 moles on my neck removed! Yahoo! No more awkward questions about having skin cancer or leprosy!

Here are some pictures of Colin from the last week or so. He gets cuter and more fun by the day.

Fun with Daddy!

Fun with hilarious faces and handsome smiles!

Is this Nate's son or what?

Fun with Granny! I like Tia's face in this one.

Another scowl, but I like it!

Fun with no clothes on!

Fun with Nana's play mat and trying on random clothes! I like the way the pants make his waist look tiny and his legs look huge. 

Also, I had fun laughing at him with shoes on and no pants.

Fun with the hat!

It doesn't fit his head yet, but we had a good time with it anyway!

Not all of these pictures with the orange onesie were taken on the same day. He just happened to wear it twice this week and look cute both times.

Fun with the big red romper and matching blanket!

I downloaded some of the video I've taken of Colin, so I'll post it once I have time to figure out how to cut it into snippets. This post has already taken me like 10 hours, so I'm OUT!

pictures are way better than words

Not much to write about. Or I'm too tired to write much. Colin is adorable. He lost his clothing privileges for a while today, so that's why he's only in a diaper in a couple of pictures. Then I tried an outfit on him that was too big, and it made me laugh. Then he played on Nate's chest. We've been spending most of our time watching the Olympics lately. And washing clothes. Colin likes to spit up and pee on everything and everyone. I have one more week of full time work ahead of me, then I start my new job at Cherry Creek Elementary. I'm still not positive what I'll be doing there, but I'll keep you posted. 

anniversary

Oh yeah, Nate and I have been married for four years now. Well, four years and two days. Crazy. Where has the time gone? It's hard to remember what life was like before we were married. Sometimes it seems like we've always been together. Here are a few of the major events from the last four years:

Kirsta graduates from BYU

Go to Missouri with entire  Silvey fam!

Kirsta starts working at the phone book company that destroys souls

Cave-like apartment floods

Move to a much nicer, but with much a creepier landlord, apartment in Orem

Nate gets kicked out of the World of Warcraft for participating in practices contrary to the essence of WoW

Go to Disneyland with entire Silvey fam!

Nate graduates from UVSC

Nate starts working as an accountant for Gunthers

Buy our first house (thanks Mom!) and start remodeling

Kirsta has a couple of miscarriages and is sad for a while

Continue to work on remodeling house

Colin is born and everyone rejoices!
