6 Months and Counting

Well Collin turned 6 months old today. It is crazy to believe that it has been 6 months since he was born. I still can hardly do a sit up! :)

We took him in for his 6 month check up today. GOing in, I had guessed he was probably about 17 pounds...I know huge. I actually figured I was over exaggerating a little bit. I thought he would be a little smaller than that. So...here are his actual stats!

Weight: 17 pounds 10 ounces
Height: 27 inches
Head Circumference: 46 1/2 cm


Yes, my boy is HUGE, has a 97% head and like 50-75% body. He enjoys his food...Anyway, I don't have and good recent pictures, besides the ones I posted in my last post. As soon as I find some, I will post those...

Anyways, I thought I would share my chunky Monkey stats with you!

Have a great day!

Playing Catch-Up!

So Obviously I have a lot of catch-up to do. It is hard to believe that I have gone the past two weeks without posting anything! It was a busy couple of weeks.


This is Collin eating. He has developed some crazy habits when he eats. As he was learning to eat cereal he would stick his thumb in his mouth after every bite. It looked as if he was trying to keep the food in his mouth. He would suck his thumb for a couple of minutes and then promptly remove his thumb, open his mouth wide for another bite, then repeat. It was a hilarious routine. It has continued to this day. He has cycled through all of the vegetables and has now started on his fruits. IN between most bites, he sucks his thumb while I get some more food on the spoon. It is really cute!



We bought Collin one of the jumper seats that hang int he doorways. He wasn't so sure about it at first, but has since developed quite a love for it. One day, we put him in it, and apparently he was too tired to stay awake. He managed to fall asleep sitting in the chair. I just had to capture the moment before I moved him to the crib!



Here's to a beautiful Turkey. Justin did a magnificent job on the turkey this year. It was beautiful and tasted great! We have been fortunate while living in Lubbock to be able to spend time with Paul and Karry (Justin's oldest brother and family) This year we were fortunate enough to have them join us for Thanksgiving. I didn't get nearly the pictures I wanted too. I think i was distracted by all the good food! Anyway, Paul, Karry and their kids, and Our good friends Jessica and Ryan all joined us for dinner. We had a three tables, 11 chairs, a high chair, a 20 Pound turkey, broccoli and Hollandaise sauce, green beans, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Butterhorn rolls, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pie and apple pie. I think that is everything. It was a huge meal and we had a ton of leftovers. We didn't even get to the pies that night. Anyway, we had a wonderful thanksgiving.

Aside from that, with the weekend visit from Paul and Karry, we went to see Bolt. Cutest Disney movie in a long time. I loved it! We also took them over to the Science Spectrum museum and saw the omnimax movie. It was a fun weekend and Abby got to get her cast off Monday. (thanks to Paul and Karry for coming and spending the holiday weekend with us!)

Our Fearless Fliers!


So today we took a trip out to the corn Maize. We didn't actually go through the maize...8 bucks a person is a bit much for us, but we sure had a lot of fun!  Thanks to the Dickens for joining us on our little party!  

They had a rock wall and a trampoline with harnesses and stuff...Anyway, jaicie and Liccy were adamant about going on. So we paid and let them take a ride. Fully expecting to get our money back because they screamed immediately. But they didn't scream. Actually they had a blast. So here are a couple of pictures for you!  Jaicie was actually a little scared. But she warmed up...just in time to get off! Felicity on the other hand was loving it from the start. She asked them to let her go higher! Hence the reason she si actually swinging up high!
