Last weekend we headed down south for a long weekend. We hit the zoo ,beach,Battleship and attended a banquet for the Battleship. The kids loved dancing and the older folks got a kick out of watching them.
The kids enjoyed the beach but Collin was not really impressed with the sand. He immediately got a handful of sand and put it right in his mouth which he did not like. We did get a few cute pictures of his first beach trip.
We had a fun relaxing weekend and look forward to doing it again.
(Yes I know the slideshow is alittle grainy, I am still learning so bear with me)
It takes a special man to lower himself to grill in the rain covering himself with a pink Barbie umbrella! That's just how dedicated Brian is to our family. I am so very lucky to share my life with him and I look forward to the many years ahead. Happy Birthday Honey!
We have been working on Collin's sitting skills lately. He has it pretty well mastered but taking these picture reminded me of the dog training Mom would do with her dogs. Much like training a dog you get them to sit and you step away only to see them get up or in Collin's case fall over. Maybe I should try bribing him with little treats from my pocket, hey it worked for the dogs!
So I guess our next big milestone is crawling. I will enjoy him not being mobile as long as it will last! Once he can crawl life around here will have to change. No more open stairways or small toys laying around , and poor Patty will be harassed by yet another baby. The interesting thing will be will Collin crawl the Army man belly crawl like Logan or will he take to the stairs on his belly like Parker? Molly was the crawler who would find every spec on the floor and put it in her mouth and Macy was just the typical crawler. Stay tuned in the coming months to find out!
I finally have someone interested in playing piano and he's a child prodigy. Notice in the first picture Collin not only plays piano but sings too! He might just be the next Phil Collins, they do have a very similar hairstyle. He poured all his energy into practicing and fell asleep with his hands still on the keys. Let's see how long this dedication last!
