Collin’s Favorites (by the Alphabet)
Albert: his koala he sleeps with
Blankie: he would like to carry it around all day but his mean mom won’t let him
Claps: he loves to clap his hands and give others “five”
Dogs: especially his new Bolt stuffed animal
Entertainment: wants everyone looking, talking and playing with him at all times
Food: anything and everything all the time
Gate: he loves to look down the stairs from behind the bars of his baby gate
Harrison: his hedgehog that makes car rides much smoother
Ice cream: especially chocolate with peanut butter from Coldstone
Juice: when poured with a traditional cup (requiring an astronomical amount of patience)
Kitchen: loves to open all the cupboards and drawers and remove all the contents
Laughing: when Collin hears others laugh he tilts his head back and laughs too
Monkey Mike: his sock monkey who always gets his arms chewed on
Nursing: loves to climb up in my lap and chow down
Oatmeal: Collin’s favorite meal – mixed with applesauce and apple juice
Phones: anyone’s all the time
Quickly-reacting parents: when he wants something he wants it NOW
Ribbons: and anything with a silky texture
Shoes: but not socks – he always takes off his socks but loves to chew on his shoes
Television: he loves to stand and try to hold whatever is on the screen
Uninterrupted time for #2: the only time Collin plays alone is when he’s going
Videos: Baby Einstein in the car and Sesame Street at home
Water: he misses his swimming pool but a bath is almost as good especially with bubbles
Xoxo: Collin crawls over to me while playing during the day and gives me hugs and kisses
Yogurt: peach and strawberry without the fruit pieces – which he filters and spits out
Zippers: loves the noise and could play with one all day
Blankie: he would like to carry it around all day but his mean mom won’t let him
Claps: he loves to clap his hands and give others “five”

Aw, see you got some excellent shots of him being cute!
Hallie kept asking about him today. "Baby Collin, home?" "Baby Collin, sleepin?"
I love the mandatory messy pictures! So cute!
We have a Christmas card for you guys, but not your address. Could you e-mail that to me Linds? Thanks! Miss you!
The alphabet thing is a clever way of writing down milestones! Happy 1 year of motherhood!
Looks like he enjoyed the cake. Sorry we didn't make it, family stayed longer then expected. Hope it was a wonderful day.
Ah, Collin. What a little ball of treasure. <-- what is that? I don't know. Wait yes i do--collin. Happy happy birthday! Can't believe it's been a year.
So we've been trying to talk to Hallie about her birthday, and all she ever says is, "Collin party?"... so it must have made quite an impression on her! She still asks about him pretty much every day too.
I can't believe 13 months has already gone by! I LOVE that he smeared the whole plate on his head!!! Looks like you guys are doing well. It's fun to catch up with you!
