3 Random facts

I've never been defeated in a game of Nertz :)

I used my closet as a playhouse when I was a kid

The movie Cinderella still freaks me out because my house caught on fire while we were watching it when I was a kid and I had to take all the other kids to safety

Sorry, I had to change some to 4 things because I had more to share!

I tag DeAnna, Lenna, Tia, Hannah, and Heather or Caleb (do I get to copy the same people? because I just did)

i love this kid

photo shoot

So I was a little bored the other day and tried taking some pictures of Colin. He was all smiles until I got the camera out, the he started with the funny faces. I got a couple of good picturs though. Most of these just make me laugh.  

This one is one of my favorites. It looks like such a Nate face to me.

Okay, this one is one of my favorites too. His expression cracks me up!

His hairline is receding, poor boy. He's still got some long strands in the back, but he's lost almost everything in the front.

Colin seems to like being on his tummy. He's really good at lifting his head and moving it from side to side. But sometimes he gets distracted and tries to eat the floor instead.

I like this picture with his towel on his head because it looked like a wizard hat to me.

Yes, our son is now the size of a giant zucchini. 

And he still loves to snuggle with his daddy.

When Scott and Lenna were down we got some cute pictures of Mason giving the baby some love. He also gave the baby's Mickey a lot of love.

What a cute boy that Mason is. Colin is lucky to have such awesome cousins.

I'm only doing this because I'm a copycat and have to do what everyone else in the family is doing.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (and you and Nate), or leave one of the first memories you have of me (and Nate). 

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. 

Please to be following the instructions. I need some reading material for during Colin's midnight feedings.

a few pictures

Here are just a few more of the pictures Maria took for us. I think I might post them a few at a time until you're all sick of them. Isn't he such a sweet boy?

Check out the link to Photos By Maria. She's posted a few of the pictures she took of our family on Monday. We're pretty stinkin' cute, though I say it myself.

Just a quick update. No pictures. Sorry. 

Colin went to the doctor today for his 2 week checkup. Everything is great, grand, wonderful. Dr Porter said to keep doing whatever we're doing because it's working. That was a comfort to hear. Colin has gained a little weight and shrunk a little in height. The nurse said that he was probably measured wrong at the hospital, but I think it was his giant cone head that made the difference. He is now 8 pounds even, 21 1/2 inches long, and has a head circumference of 14 1/2 inches. That puts him in the 57% for weight, 96% for height, and 71% for head size. He's not going to be able to compete with his huge-headed cousins, that's for sure! (Sorry Mason and Donovan!) I'm sure his head and weight will grow into his height some day. For now I'm thankful that his head was small. I'm sure it helped him come out easier. Nursing continues to be the bane of my existence. Colin and I are still learning how that one works. But he's growing, so he must be getting the food he needs. 

Nate and I are taking Colin over to a friend's house to get some "professional" pictures taken of him today. I think that means that I'll have a bunch of cute pictures to post soon, as well as hand out to those who are interested. And I'll be able to send out the world's cutest birth announcements soon too. They're all ready—just waiting for the perfect picture. Come to think of it, I don't think I have addresses for most of you, so if you would like to receive an announcement (and why wouldn't you?!) leave a comment or send me an email with your address.

That's all folks!
