Breadsticks and Books

so in the past week or so great grandma made collin some homemade breadsticks....and during dinner we give him one to busy himself so we can scarf down a warm dinner ourselves....he know exactly what to do with them...straight to the mouth! and the one he had the other night he gnawed on so much there was clearly "gum marks" and a very dirty face!





these pictures are collin reading a new book aunt stacey gave him...The Wheels on the Bus...it happens to be his favorite song!! and for all of you Barrys out there, tim and i think he looks like Uncle Jamie in these pictures....

a doctor's visit & 4th of July

collin went to the doctor on monday for his 4 month check up...and here is the latest:
weight: 13lbs 4oz
length: 25 1/2 in

he is doing very well on the graphs, in the 80th percentile!

AND according to the doctor, he is big enough to start sleeping though the night, so all this waking up at night business is a bad habit! so, it is up to mommy and daddy to be strong enough to break it...good times...

he did get some shots, so he is working on feeling better then we will tackle this sleeping issue!

here are some pictures from 4th of July...
collin did great! wasn't spooked at all, and in fact, liked looking at the fireworks out the window!
