Colin: 7 Months

Some things we want to remember about Colin at this age:

• He can sit up on his own!
• He has 5 teeth and has begun to cut two more in the front middle (they came in out of order).
• He often smiles really big and squinches the bridge of his nose for attention.
• He is on a really nap schedule. He usually takes two 2-hr naps each day, the first around 9:30am, the second around 2:30pm.
• He is doing better with baby food now, although he doesn't eat very much or with much enthusiasm.
• He loves playing in his Exersaucer and Jumperoo.
• He is very quiet, not "saying" much unless he is tired, when he is the most vocal.
• He is weened and takes all bottles now - 4 each day, anywhere from 5-8 ounces each.
  

Here are some of our favorites from his 7-month photo shoot with Sarah.

San Antonio

This marks the 3rd consecutive year that we have spent our anniversary weekend in San Antonio. Usually we stay on the Riverwalk, but this year we stayed with the Manuels and had a wonderful visit.

Julia and Caroline played really well together.

Kyle and Kevin took the girls to SeaWorld on Saturday. Brooke and I opted to stay home, since Colin wouldn't enjoy the experience very much and Brooke was 37 weeks pregnant.

Feeding the dolphins.

Julia's favorite part of the day - seeing the show. Of course she didn't remember going there with us last year.

Playing in their backyard.

Nap time on the way home.

Summer Fun!

Julia drew everything but the leaves by herself, then filled it all in.

Fun on the Boat!

Pictures from our first time on the boat as a family this summer. We went on a Friday evening with our friends, the Albrights.

Ready for some fun!

Colin's first time ever on the boat. He wasn't a big fan of the life vest, but did finally relax enough to take a snooze.

Little Amelia loved tubing!

Julia's turn! No crying this time :)

Beautiful sunset on the lake.
