Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! Colin tried to stay up until midnight to ring in the New Year...


...but he only made it until 11:00 before drinking too much milk and passing out!!

Merry Christmas!!

What is this crap??

Not cool guys!! Colin did not enjoy his first cereal experience very much! We learned it is not good to try cereal on an empty stomach. Since then, it is going much better!

4 Months Old!

Sweet and Sassy!! Colin is such a little boy now. He is constantly moving and interacting!


This is the giddy face Colin gets every time Chris plays the piano


He loves to play along with dad!!

Snow Day!!!

Colin got to play in 7" of snow!!! He wasn't quite as excited as we were :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so excited that my family came up for Thanksgiving!

I got to watch football with my cousins...

I got sooo much love and attention from everyone...it was great!

Fun Toys!!

The view is so much better when you're upright! Colin loves to stand and study things...that's where the exersaucer (thanks Mom) and the Jumperoo (thanks Dave and Becca) come into play. We are enjoying the break from holding him up all the time!

Couch Potato

Colin was super excited to have a whole couch to himself to help Mom and Dad cheer on the hawkeyes (we won't talk about how the game went)

Go Packers!!

Colin helped cheer the packers to victory...he loves football Sundays!!!

3 Months Old!

Three months old...and wearing 6-9 month clothes! Colin is over 16 lbs already. It is pretty easy to get a smile or a laugh out of him now. He has just started grabbing things and putting everything in his little mouth!

Happy Halloween!

TRICK OR TREAT ... QUACK QUACK!!!

Up and Down

Look at me...I can stand!! And I like it when mom and dad pull me up and down all day long!!

2 1/2 Months

Colin is a lot of fun....he doesn't want to miss out on anything (no naps for mom!)

Look what I can do...

Colin has found his tongue....which he loves to stick out!!!

Two Months Old!

Colin is two months old! It is so much fun to watch him interact. He chatters and smiles a lot now. He is a very happy baby!

Sporty!

A nice stretch before our morning power walk!! Today Colin had fun with his playgroup at the park.

Happy Homecoming

Colin enjoyed another Iowa tailgate...he was a little bummed out afterwards that Iowa lost again :(

Let the Rolling Begin!

Colin has figured out how to roll over...but most of the time he is just content getting half way and hanging out on his side!!

Happy Fall

My first pumpkin....I love fall!!!

The Beach

While on vacation, Colin also got to lay out on the beach for the first time and squish his toes in the sand. He was pretty excited! Dad even took him out to dip his toes in Lake Michigan.

Door County Vacation

Colin enjoyed his first trip to Door county. He got to go to a fish boil, hike in Peninsula State park, see the leaves changing, and eat delicious cherry pie and fresh honeycrisp apples. It was a very fun way to spend dad's last week at home!!

All smiles on vacation!

Colin is our little "cherry on top". Can you tell he's embarrassed by us already!

Four Generations

Four generations!! Colin is the first grandchild to carry on the family name.

Little Hawkeye

Colin gets decked out in gold (thanks Scottie) for his first Iowa football tailgate. He had a blast!

Not so happy anymore...Patch is stealing his spotlight :)
Colin is growing like a weed. He is already in the 90th percentile for height.

Colin has changed a lot in just 2 weeks. He is so much fun...most of the time :)
Both kids asleep at the same time...it's a miracle
Colin is so expressive. Its hard to tell what he is thinking, but he seems to be enjoying life.
