too cool

i can't imagine my life without him

love in texas

kelly, colin, my mom and i all went to houston last week to visit the aycocks. we had so much fun hangin' out with them for the week! the boys are all getting so big and reese-kathryn is as cute as can be :) colin LOVED being around all the kids. he would just sit and watch the boys run around and every once in a while would let out some yells to try and get some attention (and he kind of brought that home with us). colin and reese-kathryn we soooooo cute together! they would try and hold hands sitting next to each other in their high chairs and were even sharing their food. they are both at such a fun age...i can't wait to watch them grow up together. we were sad to say good bye, but we are excited to see them all again this summer in mexico! love you guys and miss you already!!!

it's a miracle

sound asleep ;)



after many long restless and sleepless nights for all of us, colin is finally going to sleep on his own and sleeping ALL night!!!! the last couple of months he has been waking up two or three times a night and would not go back to sleep in his own bed! we finally decided to let him "cry it out" (it TOTALLY killed me!) and it only took him two times to get the hang of it. now he is falling asleep on his own at 8:00pm and sleeping until 7:00am...WOOOOHOOOO!

good morning!

11 months

i can’t even believe that in four weeks colin will be one year old!!! this year definitely went by in a blink…
exactly a month ago, colin took his first step and as of today he is WALKING ALL OVER!!!!! it seemed like over night he became more sturdy and stable and is getting braver. sometimes he even gets annoyed when I try and hold his hand to help him! what a difference a month makes! he is also becoming more vocal and we have had some hints of first words…he is so close to saying DUCK. he will only say du but he is getting there!

here are some pictures I took out by the pool today…





walking in his own



showing off is only two teeth


if you ask colin "where's your tummy?" and he does this :)

josh and colin in their matching swim trunks...too cute!
