Colby Update

Colby is done with his binky. I was going to take it away at 9 months like I did with Nate. But he beat me to it. The last time he took the binky was in Sesame Place. So its been a few weeks.  He was barely using it anyway.  And we were down to 2 from 6 so I guess it was a blessing . He ONLY took the binky from the hospital. I only came home with six and we had lost a few along the way. 

He is also standing all the time now. He pulls himself up on gates, toys, kids...whatever he can grab on to! He is also walking along the couch and with some toys. The race is on to see if he walks earlier than Nate LOL! 

Nathan News

I feel like I am leaving out Nate again. So here are some updates on him.

He is now 36 inches! Yay which means he can go on "big boy" rides now!! He will get on any and every ride that he can. Doesn't always like them...but doesn't complain either. 

His eating is continuing to improve! He is still tasting things...not always eating them. But its still a big step for him! 

He LOVES iced tea! (Thanks John!) If he sees John making himself a glass, he is right there waiting for the minute he can grab it! 

"Banilla" (vanilla) is his new ice cream favorite! He now points out all Dairy Queens (thanks Mimi) and all Starbuck (Aunt Shell's favorite). 

His favorite things right now are anything Disney (he is counting down to Nov for our trip and is also talking nonstop about Disneyland next year). He LOVES Scooby Doo! (Theme for this years party). Playhouse Disney and Nogin are his go to shows. 

He is extremely good at doing puzzles (takes after Mommy :) He can now do most all by himself and only needs little help with 100 piece puzzles. 

He is really looking forward to "Six Flags" New England in a few weeks. And is very excited that we are taking "Ding Dong" (Cami) with us. 

He is going to be starting dance lessons in Sept. (His request) And is already talking about dancing on stage for the recital! 

He LOVES to sing. Anything and everything! Esp High School Musical songs, Jonas Brothers, and anything Disney.

He is getting really good as some games on Wii! And he loves doing Wii Fit with me! I made him his own balance board. He stands next to me while I do the activities. He also has to have his turn on some of the games. 

Colby did it again

Hopefully there is no oops here! He slept from 9-6!! He only woke up once for a few minutes and then put himself back to sleep! Keep those fingers crossed that this continues!!

More new words

Nite nite (said Saturday night at the hotel in Sesame Place)

Oatmeal- "O meal"

Please " Pzzzzz"

4th tooth

Colby cut his 4th tooth overnight. Yay.  I would post a pic but you can still barely see tooth number 3. His teeth are taking forever to grow in :( But he doesn't seem to care.

Kisses!!

  Colby has started giving kisses on demand. Its so cute! He now not only kisses himself whenever he sees his reflection. But will try and tackle anyone he can to plant one on them :) 

YAY COLBY!!!

Colby slept from 9-715 last night!! YAY!!! He usually goes down between 9 and 10 and then is up at 1 or 430 or sometimes both. But last night he woke up 3 times but within minutes he put himself back to sleep! Now if only I could sleep through the night and stop checking on the boys we would all be good :)

4th of July Weekend

We started off the long weekend with a BBQ at our house! Pizzas on the grill YUM!!!

Colby wanted to make sure Nana was holding on to him tight while telling everyone he is almost 1 ! LOL Check out the foot in the pocket. 

We set up the pool early in the am thinking it would be warm for the kids in the afternoon. So wrong! It was freezing but that didn't stop them!



Uncle Fun and Nathan were being super heroes again!
Colby stole Uncle Fun's hat and had a blast in the ball pit!
Saturday we hung home for most of the day. Since we were up with Nate during the night because of a bad asthma attack :( Then we went to Palisades for dinner. 

Sunday we went to Auntie and Unkie's to celebrate the July b-days! The boys had a blast looking for fish and playing on the swings at the lake! 

(lauren pls send me your pics from the weekend!)

Tackle the Jackal Pics!

Thanks Unkie for taking these with your camera phone!

Crawling

Colby started to crawl on all fours yesterday! YAY! He is also pulling himself up on everything and anything that he can! We are in big trouble in a couple weeks :) 

Sesame Place

We had our annual overnight trip to Sesame Place with the Doone's this past weekend. We all had a blast! Nothings better than have great weather and great friends! I don't know who had more fun the adult or the kids :)

Meadowlands Fair

Yesterday we took the boys to our annual family trip to the Fair. It was sooo crowded (note to self....don't go on opening night EVER again :) we only got on a few rides. But we were able to play lots of games and Nathan had a blast! Colby started to  imitate the arm actions from the games (Whack a Mole ) it was very cute!

We ended the night (or should I say morning since it was almost midnight) with an ice cream cone for everyone. 

There are no pics cause my battery died :( I really have to start charging ALL the batteries! 

1st Top Tooth

Colby cut his 3rd tooth today! His top left ! YAY! He started with his post nasal drip cough Monday night. I knew something was up. And today it appeared! YAY! Good thing is he is not cranky bad thing..he hasn't slept well the last few nights. Which in turn means I haven't slept in days! :( But its okay cause he is cute! LOL.
