So Colin officially took his first steps and since then there has been no stopping him. Although he still prefers to use his walker, he can walk and change direction all on his own. It is pretty amazing to see him accomplish such a huge milestone. It is so cliche to say they grow up so fast, but I just cannot believe that not so long ago he couldn't even sit up and now he points to airplanes, barks when he sees a dog and can walk. He also dances a lot. Not like Mtv dancing or anything, but he smiles and moves his arms whenever my cell phone rings or when there is a song on a commercial. It is pretty cute. The other big news is that he now has two pair of shoes. His little blue flame Chuck Taylor's and some cute little lace up numbers. Grandma Dottie and Grandpa John were just up visiting and got him his shoes and some cute outfits. There is also the cutest little red fleece jacket I am sure will soon be making appearances as the weather cools down. Sorry about the lack of updates- Colin is now even harder to keep up with!

Eat My Dust!

Cruisin' Colin

That's right- Colin is now walking all over the place. He still uses his wlking toy, but he has taken some steps sans help. We take him to the mall in order to practice his new coordination. This works great because if he stumbles or falls- he doesn't eat asphalt. Also, the Cedar Hills mall is a retail ghost town so he doesn't really get in anybody's way. I can't believe how fast he walks already and how brave he is- always trying to walk down the ramp.

Along with being able to walk he now eats like a small adult. He powers through almost all the food we give him. Toaster waffles, corn-on-the-cob, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, even jicama.

On an unrelated but totally cute note this is what we are thinking about for his Halloween costume.
