Mommy is back

I guess Chuck has taken over for the past few weeks, but here are a couple things I want to remember:

How sweet Colin is when he wants to fall asleep - he rests his head on my shoulder and plays with my ear while sucking his thumb.
How soft his skin is, true of all babies of course, but his little hands are just so soft and cute when he puts them on my arm or my face.
They way he tries to pick my nose while I rock him - or he tries to stay awake by smiling and talking to me (I try not to fall for it)
His joy at standing for a couple seconds before falling into me for a hug.
The constant attention to the light switches when we go in and out of rooms
Pointing to his hand whenever we ask him where any body parts are (not all the time but most of it)
His cruising pattern - pull up on the coffee table, do a lap around, get to the couch, over to the side table, open the drawer, pull out all the maps, cruise around the corner, play with the phone line, cruise all the gate, to the bookshelf (pull a few books out), on to hte piano, cry because he doesn’t know how to sit down, around to the other couch and to the exercise bike, have mommy help you sit. Crawl back to coffee table. Repeat.

Those are just a few things I want to remember.
