December 16, 2006 - Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!

Santa told Colin that he looked like he has been a good boy this year :)

December 16, 2006 - Visit from Uncle George!!!

Colin had a blast during his visit from Uncle George (and Mama did as well :)

Here's the boys hanging out in the afternoon

George got his fill of stroller pushing in the mall and helped Mama survive the lines to see Santa!

December 12, 2006 - Day of "Firsts"

... including Colin's first 3 steps at day care ... and his first head rugburn from a tumble (these 2 incidents were actually unrelated but both signs of things to come!!!) Here's a pic of the injury ...and Colin trying to do his best "Risky Business" pose :)

December 10, 2006 - Driving look

Colin's new driving look... tongue out... and to the left.

What a silly, silly boy!

December 9, 2006 - Smiles for Mama

December 8, 2006 - Out the Window

Out of Mama's bedroom windows, Colin gazes at the snowy streets... and cars... and people... and buildings :)

December 5, 2006- Colin in his winter coat

We're into the depths of winter in Wisconsin so it's time to bundle up! Here's Colin in his first winter coat (a little big b/c the first one Mama bought ended up being too small...) and of course Colin breaks it in by chewing on it!!

December 2, 2006 - Christmas Tree

Colin reaches for his first ornament on a Christmas Tree... good thing that Mama is holding out for a big Christmas tree until next year! (We'll let him try to pull all the ornaments off of Grandpa's first this year :)

December 2, 2006 - In the snow!

Colin sees snow for the first time (that he wasn't being carried in an infant carrier) and doesn't know what to make of all this white stuff! Here's Colin and Mommy in Cathedral Square Park amongst the decorated trees covered with lots of snow (the day after Colin's first Wisconsin blizzard)!

December 1, 2006 - Morning fun in the Pack n' Play

Colin hanging out in his pack n' play while Mama gets ready for the work day

November 25, 2006 - Apples

After pulling these apples out of the refrigerator, Colin decides that they are not only fun to play with but that he'd also like to try his first bite (didn't get past the skin but amused him for quite some time)!
