January Photoshoot

What do you do when it is cold outside.....too cold to even go sledding?  I like to take some pics of my kids.  I can't wait to get them outside when the weather is a bit warmer, run around, splash around, go on picnics and hikes.....ooooh we are dreaming of Spring!

Until then, here are some pics of the boys.  It is probably overboard, but I just love their expressions.

Colin James~

Goofy guy

Sweet, Sweet boy!

 

Love this sweet boy!

I have Daddy's ears!

"I don't really like this, Momma!"

He has the saddest face when he cries....but now we have a good look at those little teeth

Chubby little fingers ;-)

Happy boy

 

Pretty serious with that

Colin still has these amazing blue eyes!

thick beautiful eyelashes

and I want to get out of here!

 

 

Owen wanted in on the action, and I will NEVER turn him down to take his picture!

 

Mom!  Take my picture

Cheese ball

Sweet boy

This is usually what I get when I want to take his picture....hands in front of his face ;-)

This boy has stole my heart!

 

And those eyelashes ;-)

This is his super hero face

"shhhhhh, the baby is sleeping, don't wake the baby up!"  Owen says this a lot, always protecting his brother

silly little man

This is his "smile for baby" smile

And of course, those big blue eyes. 

 

 

Enjoy!  I know that was WAY overboard!

 

 

Colin, 10 months!

I realize that we are knocking on Colin's first birthday almost, but let's rewind back to 10 months.  I am always amazed how fast the first year goes by.

Here is all about my C-Bear at 10 months

10 months

~Owen LOVES him, still calls him baby.  Mommy and Daddy call him C-Bear, or just C.  Sometimes we even call him Colin ;-)

~Owen is one of the only things that can put a smile on his face when he is in a bad mood

~Getting the hang of solid pieces of food and feeding himself.  Will still eat some pureed food

~Favorite foods: puffs, peaches, combination foods that include spinach and pear

~Will eat food off our plates a little.  Doesn't have the best appetite this month.

~Has mastered the "worm" crawl and the backwards crawl, not so much typical crawling up on knees

~Continues to be a Momma's boy and if he sees momma and she walks out of the room, Colin cries
(Mommy secretly loves this most of the time !)

~Still having a rough time sleeping.  But, he has had an awful cold which I think is the problem. 

~Paci, Colin likes it, but doesn't always NEED it.  I think I have another child who will be easy toss
that thing out

~Loves bathtime with his brother

~Likes when Daddy rocks him in the middle of the night when he isn't feeling the best.

~Will stand while leaning on things, but he really doesn't like it.  I think he is a bit scared of standing alone

~Rough month with teething.....hoping those two front teeth pop through soon!  hoping our happy boy makes a return soon!  Between teething and colds January has not been a good month for Colin

We LOVE our little Colin, even though you have been a little crabby!

 

 

 

There is some smiles!

Handsome!

Loves trucks, cars, anything with wheels

Starting to get into things.....uh oh!

working on crawling....this is about as close as he gets

Buppa can get some smiles from Colin.....he loves to be tickled.

 

 

January Fun

Still playing catch up!

My brother stayed in town for an extra couple of weeks.  Owen kept him entertained with setting up his wooden Thomas tracks for hours (I must confess that I find myself doing the same thing some days and I actually enjoy it).

We also enjoyed our first days sledding, ice fishing and building a snowman.  Owen received a new sled for Christmas from Santa and is doing a great job "driving" the sled.  He is really brave.

As for ice fishing, Ethan and I love to ice fish and we were very excited to take Owen along.  He wasn't the most interested in the actually fishing, but was thrilled to be walking on the ice, going in and out of the shanty, watching people fish and of course the snacks we brought.  Owen and I lasted about an hour and left Daddy out on the ice to enjoy the fishing.  I tried to carry Owen off the ice, but he didn't want to.  He kept saying "Look Momma, we are penguins"  (thanks Happy Feet!) It took us almost an hour to get back to the truck.  Such a tough little boy we have.

Snuggles for Adam

All bundled up in the sled

 

My coat tastes pretty good

  

I hate this sled!  I tried taken Colin with me on a sled and he didn't like that either

 

Punkin, you are funny!

Colin makes the funniest faces

Hahahahahaha

Brave boy on his sled

That was fast Momma.....Momma was a little nervous about Owen going down the big hill by himself, but he did great!

Hey Punkin, Let's race

and they are off

Even Owen's favorite toy get's some winter playtime
