holidays.

Colin enjoyed his first Thanksgiving dinner eating his spoon :) Meghan hosted Thanksgiving at her house and as always prepared a delicious meal! We headed over to the Smith's Friday to have another Thanksgiving dinner. I secretly wish I had a 3rd family to have Thanksgiving with on Saturday. I love turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. I could eat stuffing cold I love it that much :)

Colin picking out his first Christmas tree!

And we are all set up for xmas. Justin spent all day setting up the lights outside and I have to say I am quite impressed. Colin has no idea what is going on.. but he loves the train going around and around that tree!

We always love the holidays around here but having a child really brings out the holidays in you even more...

7 months.

Seven months!? It has been quite a whirlwind around here. Colin is growing into a BOY more and more each day. Crawling is right around the corner and I can't even imagine how that will change the dynamics in this house. Colin is a mommy's boy. I love it secretly but it also does mean I can't do anything :) He is quite the pro at sitting these days but would rather roll all over the place than getting up on all fours. The months now just seem to fly and I feel that April will be here in a blink of an eye!

books.

Great Grandma Smith really wanted Colin to have a bookcase to hold his fantastic book collection he already has! I probably don't get the mom of the year award for having all these in a box for 3 months but hey. Now that they are all displayed in his soon to be playroom he lovessss looking at all his books.

Even enough to STAND and hold on to that second shelf!! Oh boy. No worries it's nailed to the wall. Colin's favorite book so far... Brown Bear Brown Bear. Thanks Jackson ;)

Thanks for my bookshelf Great Grandma! I am already enjoying it!

home.

We did it. Well sort of. Boxes are still everywhere- I cant find any shoes and we still have tons of work to do. Buttttt we finally have a new place to call home. With any move comes stress but throw a stomach bug on top of a moving weekend and you have a disaster. We all came down with the stomach bug and it came in waves. Colin. Me. Justin- yikes. Thank goodness for grandparents. We layed on the couch both of us dead to the world and I dressed my sick self to answer the door on Halloween. I was not going to let a stomach bug prevent me from meeting all our neighbors. We cant wait for the many memories we will create in our new home. Stomach bug is just the first one :)
