the whos down in whoville

Despite Colin and I being sick again, we've all had a pretty good week. Colin's been sleeping really well at night—8-10 hour stretches!—and that has helped me out a ton. Nate and I canned pears all by ourselves for the first time. We only did 12 jars, but we're still pretty proud of ourselves. I watched the BYU game Thursday night and was pleased with parts of it. I would have liked another shut out, but a win will do, I guess. I can't think of any more highlights at the moment, so let's get to the pictures of my boy.

One morning as I dressed Colin in his pre-lunch clothes (he gets a new outfit around noon because the old one is soaked), I decided it was more important to amuse myself than it was for him to look nice. So I put him in some cute little pajama pants and a large shirt that didn't match. Oh, and I put the pants on under the onesie because it made me laugh. He was not impressed, as you can tell by the picture.


Another day Colin and I were sitting on my bed having a chat. He made a funny face. Also, his pants made him look huge.

Then he stared off the side of the bed for a while.

Here are a few of his different expressions from his bouncy chair photo shoot. He went through about 5 shirts this day, so by the end I didn't care if he matched or not so long as he was covered.

Okay, I guess by the end I didn't even care if he was wearing a shirt so long as he was covered. I'm sure I'm going to win the mom of the year award for this outfit. (Yes, he's just wearing a bib and pants.) He looks so long with his tummy exposed.

Now that's what I call a happy face!

He wasn't in time out here, just chillin' in the big chair. With his arm up on the armrest he really looks like he's just hanging out. Also, his face looks huge.

I thought I should take a picture of Colin with Ethan since they spend so much time together. Ethan helps babysit Colin 3 days a week while I'm at work. They're good friends.

The rest of these pictures are from today. I was going through Colin's clothes to get him dressed for the day, and I came across this hat from Cousin Mason. It goes well with his pajama dress.

Two outfits later at Granny's house, Colin took a nap on the puzzle blanket. (I asked Daddy to pack the diaper bad and we ended up with no blankets.)

Wearing the Whoville pajamas from Uncle Brad and Aunt DeAnna. Also, he's wedged into the couch.

I don't know why this picture came up in this order, but these are the super cute fall decorations I bought last night at Ladies Night at the Real Deals store in Springville. I went with my new sister-in-law Kelli, and we had a lot of fun hauling Colin around with us, fighting all the other ladies in the jam packed stores. (Those are little pumpkins on the garland-thingy.)

Cousin Sara got some Whoville jammies too, and we took pictures of the cute li'l cousins together. Colin looks like he could smash Sara if he rolled over on her.


Sara wasn't so thrilled with the whole picture taking experience. Still cute though.

They were both much happier after conference and let us take more pictures.

Colin likes to try and get both fists in his mouth at the same time. That's my adorable little weirdo!

At home Colin played with Nana's plastic ball thing. He's really good at holding on to it, but he also tries to eat it, but he just ends up smashing it onto his face.

Colin and Daddy having a secret conversation.

I just wanted a full length shot of those adorable pj's.

He pulled some funny faces when I flipped him onto his belly. Okay, he pulled a normal face and then a funny face. Scroll down for the funny.

I got bored and decided to amuse myself again with putting ridiculous clothes on my helpless kid. He's ready to go out on the town now! (He already had on the pajamas and the bib. I added the hat, then the shoes, then the shorts. It was fun for me. And he never asked me not to.)

Hey, a picture of me!
