Where’d October go?
Not sure what’s happened to October, somehow a couple of weeks got past us without any blogs - and we were doing so well for a while there! Sorry to our fan base of three (yes, I think it has grown, by about 300%!).
Colin has been as busy as ever, finding new ways to amaze us on a daily basis. The latest saga is the crib-to-bed transfer, a work in progress. We made our way over to the nearly new IKEA in Canton on Friday, where we ate horrible food and found none of the furniture Jess wanted to buy…but we did manage to find a bed, a chair, and a toy chest for Colin.
With the imminent arrival of baby #2, we need to start working Colin out of the crib in time for the late February arrival, and we (rightly) anticipate a long transition. We’re 2 nights into it, and so far he’s lasted about a half hour each night before he gets up and starts wandering around the upstairs (recently learned how to open the door, great timing for that).
I’m sure this will be fits and starts. But compared to the next big milestone - potty training - it should be a breeze.
Here’s some recent pics of little C and from Uncle Fletcher’s trip to Motown, where we watched the Yankees get embarrassed by the now American League Champion Tigers.
I guess Colin always asks to ride this at the grocery store, only Dada is a sucker and lets him do it.
This is from a Michigan football game day, hence the full Michigan gear - and wouldn’t you know Colin managed to find a Michigan dog - I’m going to go broke now that I have a camera phone.
Colin pretends this emergency booth is a rocket ship - likes to get inside and count ‘1,2,3,blast off!’
Ah playoff baseball…
Bearded Uncle Fletch gets to check off Comerica Park from the list of baseball stadiums to visit - too bad the game’s result was less than he and I had hoped for.
Is Fletch a logger now or something?
Yep, Uncle Fletch decided to grow a beard for a lark last Christmas, and somehow it stuck - I think he’s actually had it for a full year now.
We’ll have to see if Colin recognizes him without it (if and when he cuts it off).
