Zucchini

Colin has added the word zucchini to his vocabulary...we have oodles and oodles of zucchini in our garden, so we eat it all the time!!

Quack Quack!!

Little did we know that Colin would grow up to be an expert duck caller. We stopped at Cabela's on our way to Chicago and they had a duck calling contest going on. Colin was so intrigued and determined to find the ducks. He charmed the some of the people there with his curiosity and they gave him a duck call and taught him how to blow in it. He thought it was sooo cool! He drew lots of attention!! Chris was happy too because it meant lots of shopping time for him.

I didn't do it...

See...I'm a good big brother!!

How can you not give in to those eyes!!!

ABC's and Bumblebees!

Colin sings constantly around the house, but the minute we get out the video camera he stops....so, being the good parents that we are...we bribed him with a cookie. We got a few snip-its of the ABC's and the Bumblebee song; two of his favorites!!

This tummy things not so bad...

wait, you're not going to leave me here are you...

Here comes my mad face!!!

Sound Asleep...

Kendra completely slept through her first mommy and me baking experience! Not even the food processor phased her!!

Daddy's Helper...

Colin turns 2!!!

...Officially. Colin got to celebrate again on his actual birthday. They had a party at daycare where apparently he walked around saying " Happy Birthday to me" all day and then he got another cake at home. I think he would have been just as happy if we'd just stuck the candles in a banana...he still LOVES bananas. In addition to the bananas, he was really excited to blow out his candles!

1 1/2 months!

Kendra is already 6 weeks old. She definitely enjoys fresh air. She was really content hanging out on the beach at Sunset park. She smiles a bit and coos now and is starting to grip things well. She has also recently dropped her last feeding of the night...so mom is pretty pumped!
