100% GIRL!
Collin is 100% boy! Loves cars, loves trains, loves to wrestle, and loves to be dirty! Then there is Addison. She is 100% girl. She does not like to be dirty, does not like to be hot or wet, and absolutely loves her babies! For Addison's one year birthday she received a few baby dolls (she didn't have any prior to this) as well as a baby stroller. Just in the past 2 weeks, here is a typical "play" time for Addison. First gather her babies and then find a wash cloth. The she gets either the card board bed (this was part of gift from the Gigi's), or find her stroller. Once she has all these items she begins loving her babies, wrapping her babies in her little bitty wash cloth. Rocking her babies wrapped in the wash cloth or placing them in the stroller after covering them up with the wash cloth. It is the cutest thing to watch because she is absolutely in heaven and completely happy!

Just buy a new one
I am constantly telling the kids that there is just one of me and two of them. So when they both want to sit on my lap, its either share or no one gets it.....because....."there is just one of ME". Well yesterday as the kids had both just woken up from naps and were wanting that snuggle time with mom, I said guys remember "there is just ONE momma". Collin looks at me and says, "Mommy lets just go to the store and buy another one!" Clearly that seemed like the obvious answer to this problem!
Collin's Birthday
So hard to believe that Collin Patrick is 3. Here are Collin's Stats from the doctor:
Weight: 33 pounds....75 percentile
Height: ?.....25 percentile
When at the doctor she listened to his heart over and over and over and over. Till I finally asked if everything was okay. Well she was feeling as though she was hearing a skip in his heart beat. She checked it a few more times and sure enough she still heard it. So that day she sent us over to have an EKG done on Collin's heart. I must say I thought I had a healthy little dude and the next thing I knew I was watching him get 13 stickies to his chest to check its rhythym. Luckily it all came back NORMAL:) Nothing to be worried about....Phew!
What Collin is doing/loves
Collin LOVES...
*the color yellow
*to run....he begs Eric and I after we get home from running to go for a run around the block with him
*to be outside....he could spend every day of his life out there
*to help daddy mow the grass, use the weed eater and the blower
*Chocolate Milk, yogurt, pudding, apples and peanut butter, peanut buttter and jelly, string cheese, apple sauce, pancakes,
*his train table
*Mickey Mouse (STILL), Chuggington, Cailou, Fireman Sam, Cat and the Hat, Olivia,
*to color....he has recently become an excellent colorer. He really takes his time and almost stays in the lines.
*his monkey, kitty cat, and doggie..they are a must. He really only has to have one, not all three at a time, but you never know which one it may be that day.
*Music...he loves to carry my phone around and listen to Pandora playing the Mickey Mouse channel
Collin can....
*he has a very large vocabulary...no that may just be a biased momma, but he is constantly saying words and phrases that I never knew he knew! For example, we brought Maracas home from Mexico and he said, Mommy will you please hand me the instrument? It was so proper:)
*get himself dressed all by himself and put his shoes and socks on by himself....when he wants to!
*make his bed
*put together big puzzles (with a little help)
For Collin's birthday Grandma Shelley came in town and between it being his birthday and having Grandma Shelley come visit he was SO excited! We pretty much just spent the weekend at the park, hanging around the house and just playing. I do have to say it wasn't until just a few days before Collin's birthday that Eric and I realized we really had not planned or even bought anything for Collin's birthday. So we took him to Party City and let him choose whatever "decorations" or theme he wanted. Of course he went straight to cars. So....that of course led it to be that I was to make a Lightining McQueen cake! I do have to say after spending quite some time on it I was pretty impressed with how it turned out:)
My parents came over for cake, presents and icecream that evening since my Dad had just had his surgery they didn't stick around too long. However Collin was so excited to have them all there celebrating "him"! Here are some of the pics.
Collin's favorite gift was his "big boy" bike and helmet:) He gotten so good at riding it and is such a big kid on it. He rides to the end of the street, stops, look both ways and asks if he can go on. He makes me feel like he is a 6 year old by doing that!! How did he grow up so fast already!
