I Miss It! June 22, 2009

I have made nearly 0 time to scrap since Colin was born. I did do 1 ultrasound layout in an atempt to “catch up.” And I filled in the January page of the photo a day calendar I downloaded. I ordered a few photos. And I looked at the beautiful albums my friend Kathryn made me, but I didn’t put anything in them yet. Because of course, her work is beautiful the photos and journalling I do have to be perfect.

I was a bit sad about it, but figured I’d get it together soon. When I mentally scheduled scrap time but was then to tired to do it, I just figured I’d do it next time.

Today I looked at some layouts on the Hambly blog and on May flaum’s blog and BOOM – I miss it so much. Wow. I really hope to get back to scrapbooking soon. =(

Charles Cheese June 20, 2009

So Colin had his first visit to Chuck E. Cheese – or Charles as my sister-in-law calls him. He is too young to do anything but look at all the lights and the giant elmo birthday cake, so it wasn’t too bad. He was such a good boy, flirting with the ladies. He met a 4 month old and an 8 month old! He was his usual charming self – trying to hold hands, flashing his dimples. The mamas like him as much as the girls do.

He turns 6 months old on Wednesday! Where did the time go? Now he eats cereal and baby food, he screeches like a pterodactyl (yes, these are the things he is doing right this minute, ha ha.) He sits in ahigh chair, holds toys in either hand and puts them where he wants them – generally his mouth, but sometimes his other hand. He pulls his feet towards his mouth and tries to take off his socks.  He plays peek-a-boo, he rolls over both ways, and grabs tight to the toys on his activity gym. He can use his exersaucer and even played quietly while mommy played Wii Fit (it was sad when his little Mii threw shoes at my head though.) He expresses excitement, joy, sadness, impatience and love. He still loves thebe read to – and now he tries to hold the book and turn the pages. He loves music of all kinds – especially when grandma sings in italian or daddy sings philly soul. He gives hugs and smiles freely. I can’t get over how much he has grown.

     

Oh Yeah June 11, 2009

Tracey reminded me I have a blog. For what it’s worth, I tried to post numerous times from the hospital, but the iPod touch doesn’t allow easy wordpress blogging from what I could tell. It might have been the morphine. Anyway, I am fine. If you want to learn about histoplasmosis, look it up, ha ha. I don’t have time to provide links.

Dear Tracey, please show me how to fix my Twitter settings. Thanks!

Since last I posted, Colin has been growing like a weed. He laughs all day, he rolls over both ways, and he really really prefrs to sit up like a big boy – he just can’t do it himself. And of course he is the cutest baby ever!

I don’t know why the picture doesn’t work – I will try to try again later. In the meantime, if you could see it you would see him holding the sweetest little taggie blanket. It’s called a tag-a-boo, and the wonderful Michelle @ First Born Designs makes them. Every baby needs one – or 2 or 3 of these. It’s my total go-to baby gift, which I stole from Tracey. She gave Colin this one, as well as the softiest Minky blanket Michelle made for him. So, please check out First Born Designs - thanks!
