happy easter!

bathroom break

colin and i were doing some running around yesterday looking for an easter outfit and stopped at kohls. it is my new favorite place...they have the best bathroom ever! (funny what i get excited about these days huh!) . since i am in public bathrooms a lot these days, it is hard to find a good, CLEAN bathroom that i can change a diaper in. at kohls they have a family bathroom so i can go in with my stroller and all my stuff with plenty of room and it was really CLEAN! my favorite part was that there was a tiny toilet next to the big one! it was so cute i had to take a picture and share...

fun week

this week my dad's friend and his son came out to visit from seattle. rick and my dad have been friends since 7th grade!!! it was really fun having them here and hearing a bunch of stories about the days when they were "cool". colin and leo LOVED them and i am sure would have hidden in their suitcases if they could. here is some of what we did...


went to a diamondbacks/mariners game

somebody was a little sleepy on the way home :)


then we went south of the border to rocky point for a few days...

colin LOVES the pool!

colin's new favorite thing...he didn't want to get out of it! thanks grandma connie!

i have created a monster

colin had his first taste of eegees! for those of you who don't live in tucson, an eegee is sort of like a fruit ice slushy thing that is delicious! anyway, i gave colin a little taste and he was hooked! (probably because it is the first real taste of sugar :) i can't even eat it around him, he screams until i give him a bite. ooooohhhh no... i have created a monster!

10 months


wow! this month really flew by! it is crazy to think that in just two months colin will be one year old! this month was full of learning new things. colin is dancing, singing, clapping, pointing, and trying to copy things we do. he says dada and baba and of course does a lot of babbling. (still no mama even though i work on it with him everyday!!!!) colin is definitely a busy little boy. he is crawling faster than ever, pulls himself up with no problem and walks around anything he can hold on to. lately, he has started to walk a little bit with me holding one hand. he will sometimes stand by himself for a minute but as soon as he realizes it he sits down.
food is getting more interesting too! colin can eat just about anything now (well, anything you can eat with two teeth) he LOVES cherio’s, sweet potatoes and bananas. he is a little picky about the textures of different foods but he is not too picky about what he eats. it is fun to be able to feed him some of the same things that we eat!
at colin’s last check up he was happy and healthy. he is in the 50% for everything except for weight..he is a little skinny :) he doesn’t look like it but he is only in the 10% weighing in at 18 pounds 12 ounces. i guess he is just so active these days that it is hard to gain any weight.
colin’s personality is so cute and we are just loving getting to know who he is!



more fun in the sun....
colin loves using his sippy cup




still a little too cold to swim but it is fun to splash around!


walking around with mama's help!




ummmm, need a boost??
sometimes i let colin play in with some tupperware in the kitchen and he found a little box of teething cookies and put them to good use



as you can see colin is getting into everything! and starting to climb!

take me out to the ball game



colin went to his first baseball game! kelly and a few of her friends invited us to go to a diamondbacks/white sox spring training game with them today. we had great seats (colin even had his own!) and it was the perfect day to be outside. colin was so good the whole game and i think he really liked it. we will definitely have to go again soon! thanks for the tickets ted!!!!




baby mozart

kelly has been in town and thought she would teach colin how to play the piano. we found out he is a musical prodigy. take a look...
