a blessing.

Colin was baptized over the weekend :) He did great as we all held our breath before the cold water soaked his head! Colin wore Justin's old gown Justin's mom HAND MADE. I wish I knew how to sew! We had a great day celebrating despite the heat!

Daycare day #2. We are very lucky that I was able to stay at home with Colin for 3 full months and I am sad to say my maternity leave has come to an end. Yesterday was hard to say the least. I held my breath knocked on our in home providers door and took him downstairs. I thought I was doing great. Then I said goodbye. Not good.

I am able to work from home the majority of the week which is nice should there ever be any problems our provider is a neighborhood away. There are times where I have glanced at his playmat expecting him to be there. It's going to take some adjusting but Justin and I know that at this point to provide Colin with a great life and a big backyard mom must keep trucking :)

brothers.

Tucker just loves his younger brother :)

lately.

Aunt Meghan and Uncle Rizzle with Colin enjoying time on Kelly's deck. Thanks for dinner Kelly!

Dad I am not interested in burping.. i like this fan better....

Out for a walk! These walks are always way too short as Tucker just wants to run and the stroller just isnt fast enough.

I wasn't joking when I said covered every inch of his body ;) Thanks Meghan!!

First minutes in the water.. hmmmmm i think i like this!

Look at our chunky monkey :)

3 months.

It seems like yesterday we brought Colin home from the hospital. Above you can see how he has changed in just 3 months! Also these pictures are becoming more and more difficult as Colin does not like to sit still!!

At three months:

*He watches as I walk away from him. It's pretty amazing that his eyes can follow me around the room.

*He loves tv and watching his baby Einstein dvd!

*He has these loud screeches when he gets excited.

*He sticks his tongue out at all his toys.

*He can hold his head up very well but it does still flop around!

*He loves his baby carrier and comes in handy in the evening hours sometimes.

*He loves Tucker :)

*He is beginning to reach out to objects- like dads nose or a toy above.

*He is able to lift his head much better when he is on his tummy and his legs shoot upward- but still no success. Maybe he will roll for us this coming month?! :)

I think 3/4 months is really an exciting time and when a lot of moms seem to tell me they notice major changes. I can't wait to see what Colin has in store for us next!

pool = spa.

Colin... ASLEEP in the pool. He loved the water :) I must admit that I was not planning on putting him in the water so young but at 3 months I decided it was about time with this crazy summer weather we've had! So I ventured to the store and bought a long sleeve wet suit and covered every part of his body I could... this shouldn't surprise any of you. Colin loved the water!! OBX here we come!!
