Colin: 15 Months

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

• He now pulls to stand, gets down on his own, and lets go with one hand
• Crawls on his hands and knees part time
• Loves balls and cars more than anything
• Follows instructions well (closing cabinets and doors, putting things back, etc)
• Everyone LOVES his hair - he gets compliments all the time

Children's Museum

Fun day at the Austin Children's Museum!

Silhouette Art

We had the privilege of taking the kids to get their silhouette portraits made by Karl Johnson, who was in town for a session at a local toy store.  These portraits only took him about 2 min. each and are treasures to us!

I love this one - both kids playing with their laptops :)

Colin's Dentist Appt

Colin had his first dentist appointment! Just a week after his first birthday he had all 16 teeth (all but his 2-yr molars) and he had a great check-up, although he didn't like the experience that much.

Playing in the waiting area

Wait a minute - what's going on here?

Still don't know why I'm here...

Not a fan!

Happy it's over!

Snow!

Just as we were headed upstairs for quiet time on Sunday afternoon, we noticed snowflakes falling. We hurried Julia outside to take a quick look. They didn't last more than a few minutes, and that was all the snow we got all winter.

Valentines Portraits

Our sweet friend, Sarah, took some pictures of Julia and Colin in her studio for Valentine's Day. They turned out great!
