Wagon Wheels

We have been trying a lot of new foods lately. He has loved everything. So today I thought I would give Colby some wagon wheels. (carrot ones) He was unsure at first, but then loved them. He ate 2 pretty quickly! 

He is doing great with a sippy cup. He still doesn't really like a bottle. But hey one less thing we will have to worry about taking away :) 

Sunday May 18th Birdland here we come!

Saturday night we headed back to Maryland for the Orioles game Sunday.

After a 2 hour rain delay they started the pre game announcements.

They played a bit of each of the 10 contestants singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Nathan had a part in the middle and then they used his ending too! (Everyone else only had 1 part) Yay Nate!


The girl that one deserved it out of the 3 that they picked. She was cute! But we all still think that Nathan should have won :) Cute factor alone should have made him win ;)

This is Nate's newest favorite saying "This is Birdland" We have to find him a shirt with the slogan on it.

Daddy and Colby.
Birdland!
Jim and Nathan and The Oriole Bird.
These boys really do love each other! 
The Orioles Bird came up to visit us in "our" box. (Long story short poor Jim got the run around trying to get tickets near where we were supposed to sit. After finally getting to talk to a supervisor he got 2 tickets for a box!  We wound up all going to sit up there. There was another family there who was friends with someone in promotions who sent up the Orioles Bird! Nate thought that was great!!!

Colby loves going to visit with Jim and Megan! 
Someone was making a face in every picture :(

We had a great weekend! Thanks again Jim and Megan! 

(Though next time I hope it doesn't take us 6 hours to get home :(

Playtime

Colby loves this sing along stage.

He would play with this for hours!

Nate enjoying some playtime with friends! 

Little Trees

At Colby's 6 month checkup we were cleared for all foods...since he doesn't like the baby food so much I have been trying to offer more table food. He is doing great! And definitely eats better than Nathan (though Nate has been GREAT at trying new things... if worded properly ... ie broccoli cheese soup..ninja turtle soup, french onion mac and cheese ... splinter mac and cheese etc. :)

Colby really like his "little tree" (broccoli) last night! Might be easier if I steam it next time LOL!

Colby's 1st time on the swing

So I put Colby in the swing for the 1st time today. Now he LOVES his swing inside but that swings left to right not back and forth....

He was really unsure if he liked it or not...until he saw Nate swing next to him...

Then he LOVED it!

Nathan just loves being outside! Doesn't matter what he is doing or who he is with :)

I can't wait for summer! These boys are going to live outside! Anyone want to join us for a playdate? :)

Colby's 6 month pictures

Ok well 6 1/2 since he turned 6 months in Disney! :)

Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Nothing is better than waking up to the sound of the boys laughing :)

Nathan made me breakfast in bed (with the help of John of course). There were eggs (less the shells John removed LOL), hot dogs (sausage) and toast! YUM!!

And the best thing of all my handmade card with the boys handprints!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!

Army Man

Colby has mastered the 1 arm army man crawl. LOL! He is quick to get on all fours and rock...but then its down with the army man crawl! 

He was cheered on by Nate and friends! :)

Nate tries so hard to get Colby to say Dada on command...but it only works for Mom :) He is also trying for Nay Nay (for Nathan) but Colby hasn't caught on yet. 

Colby's 6 month stats

Colby went to the dr yesterday for his 6 month (well 6 1/2) visit. 

Weight 16.7 lbs (only gained 1 pound in 2 months)

Length 27 in

Dr was not concerned about him only gaining 1 pound when she saw how much this little booger moves. If he is not crawling or rolling he is off bouncing somewhere! This kid NEVER sits still for more than a few minutes :)

He got 4 shots yesterday. Usually 2 nurses tag team so they each do a shot in a different leg at the same time. But there was only 1 nurse yesterday. He did great though he screamed and 1 tear from each eye..but he stopped as soon as I picked him up. :) And he was happy as can be all night!

(We got stuck in the traffic on 287 coming home. It took us 2 hrs and 15 mins to get home. It usually only takes 30 at most :( Thank goodness Colby slept almost the whole time and Nathan had his DVD player!)

Colby was given full clearance for all table food except nuts. Which is a good thing since he already stole a waffle, some pizza crust, bread, garlic mashed potatoes .... he he! 

Happy Birthday

Yesterday was Nana's 88th birthday! Happy Birthday Nana! 

Nate called Nana 1st thing in the morning to sing to her! His version of course! "Happy Birthday to Nana" for all verses! 

Then it was off to outback for some family time! 

Nathan saved the day when Colby's "binky doodle" went missing! He crawled under the table and under the bench to rescue it! YAY!

Then it was back to Nana's for cake and monster cupcakes! (I need to get some pics from Mom or Lauren since we left camera home :(

Colby's 2nd tooth

Don't know how I forgot to add that Sun April 27th Colby cut his 2nd tooth! That is 2 teeth in 4 days! YAY! He loves playing with them with his tongue! Too cute!  Now he is really going to be stealing my waffles :)

Crawl Colby Crawl

There is no stopping Colby now! He is off !! :) YAY! 

Contest

Just got word a little while ago from the Orioles that Nate was not in the top 3 :( 

But we are sooo proud of him for making it to top 10! We are still going to the game to see who won! 

(Don't understand how anyone could have possibly gotten more votes than Nate! Everyone we know must have voted or gotten him over 600 votes each! LOL)

April 27th

No trip to Florida by car would be complete without a stop at South of The Border and a ride in Pedro's Hat! 

After our little stop we had some lunch on the go and then another quick stop at Dairy Queen for a traditional Dairy Queen cone! Then it was back in the car for the LONG ride home. We arrived in our driveway at 2:15 am! And of course Colby was WIDE awake! I think I got 2 hours sleep! Tomorrow is going to be a long day! 

Sad vacation is over but we had a blast and it will make Oct come even quicker looking back on the fun!
