Whooooo is it?

Uncle Michael!

How I ever let these pictures escape their appearance to the blog, I have no idea!  Uncle Michael came for a visit and Colin sure had a great time getting snuggles from him!

Grandparents Day

( A week late...it was last Sunday)

We just wanted to say thank to our grandparents! Although times have changed and we don't see you often or unfortunately anymore because you've been called Home, we were and continue to be blessed by the love that  was shown and given to us by you. We love you always!

To Colin's grandparents: 
 Thank you for all that you do for us and for Colin. Whether it was to watch him so we could sleep or just coming to visit him- it always means so much. Thank you for always thinking of him when you're out and about and for calling us to check in and answering my questions/concerns when I am freaking out because I am still learning the ropes here!  We mostly thank you for your constant love. Your love for him is gigantic and it's obvious with every visit how much you love him. Seeing how you love our son fills us with so much joy and makes us appreciate you even more.  I know we were blessed with the best grandparents but I've got to say Colin sure is blessed with the greatest grandparents as well!

Happy Grandparent's Day!

(by the way- Grandparent's Day last year, we announced to Grandpa and Mimi that we were expecting!)

Beach Day Part 2

Playing with Papa Randy!

 Our sweet friends, Keith and Ashyn.

 Our little family of 3. I think this may be the first picture of all 3 of us since Colin was first born and Donna Kay took them. Please just take a quick glance and go to the next pic please. We just had a baby......  haha

Even though there are so few pics of me with Colin because I am usually the one behind the camera. I can't get enough of seeing my husband with our son. It brings an automatic smile to my face.

  Thanks mom for letting me steal this pictures....you didn't even know I did so. But thank you for taking them and for loving us so much! We sure do love you!!

Ohhh Ahhh

You can't help but to look at this photo and smile! What a happy little boy we have. He smiles all of the time therefore, we smile all of the time! Brendan said it best when he said it's even better when he smiles because we can make him smile now! He smiles if we smile, he smiles if we laugh, he smiles if you make a silly noise, he smiles if you talk to him...you get the point!  I actually think he favors his cousin Case here!

Friends and the Gamecocks

Labor Day weekend was such a wonderful weekend and one we were so anxious for! Not only was it the first USC football game of the season but some of our best friends came for the weekend! Thank you  guys so much for making the trip. We miss you guys so much and love when we are all able to get together.  We are so blessed!

Beach Day

Griffin and Colin passed out on the beach! This was such a sweet picture of the 2 of them!

More pics to come...I just have to steal them from my mom's camera!  However, this has to be one of my most favorite pictures. Those 2 are my heart!

Colin is 4 months!

Look at my sweet boy!! He's growing way too fast! He has his 4 month checkup yesterday including shots. Booo! Tears were shed again but not quite as bad as last time.  Colin weighed in at 16.8 lbs (75th percentile) and 26 inches long (90th percentile). 

Just some new things about little man:  His personality is starting to show! He is such a flirt and a happy baby! He smiles at everyone and giggles now!! He can roll over from back to tummy and tummy to back. Although he prefers back to tummy. He holds his head up so well and can take toys from my hands. He has successfully put his passy in his mouth a few times!  He loves his sitter, Mrs. Leslie and he loves the children she keeps.  They all love him too which makes this mama so proud and happy. Last week was the first time I did not cry leaving him. Tuesday doesn't count because we had a long weekend together. :)   Colin also loves to talk and I'm hoping "ma ma/ da da" are in his very near future!  He also loves his hands! He is always sticking them in his mouth- occasionally gagging himself.  He can eat cereal very well and last night he got a little bit of squash last night for the first time and loved it! Daddy doesn't like that he's so messy when he eats. Mommy thinks it's funny and adorable to mommy does the feeding most of the time!  Bath time is so much fun! I usually get pretty wet from all the splashes! No teeth yet but Colin is a drooling machine! We go through at least 5 bibs a day!  Colin makes his family so proud! Also- he is getting told quite a bit that he is looking more and more like his mommy and his mommy is growing a big head. haha  I just happen to think he is gorgeous so I'll take that compliment! haha Well, my happy boy wants me to come play and there is no saying no to him- for now! :)

Roll Colin Roll Baby

Breaking News!!

Colin rolled from his back to his tummy today!! And he kept doing it!  Video to follow soon!! This has made changing his diaper a little more difficult. SO very proud of our growing boy! I am one proud, proud mommy!!
