Well - he's healthy! We had Colin's one year check up yesterday and the doctor pronounced him happy and healthy. She was more than pleased with his development and interaction skills:) He was not terribly impressed with being weighed and measured (required him to hold still) but we finally got him to cooperate. He weighs 22.5 lbs (45th percentile) and is 31 inches tall (85th percentile). What does all that mean? Well, for the moment he's tall and skinny:) Sort of like his momma used to be (the skinny part not so much anymore).
He got two shots and his blood taken - yuck. Daddy held him and told him everything would be OK. Of course, that didn't help much while he was being stuck with the needles but he was perfectly fine the second it was over.
The funniest part of the visit was when they gave us a handout about temper tantrums and how to deal with them. I mean really?!?! At the one year check up?!? Seemed a little much to me. Probably the reason we are going to try to switch doctors.
Oh well...the boy passed his inspection with flying colors...no rejection sticker for little Colin!

Beach = sand = unhappy Colin
Well, we are back from our beach vacation with new knowledge that Colin hates sand. Fortunately, we are fond of walking up and down the beach and standing knee deep in the water and letting the waves crash on us...fortunate because Colin LOVED this activity. Every time a wave crashed on him he giggled. Thank goodness.
The weather was great but Colin spent most of his time under a canopy at the beach or more often by the pool. He did just fine with this, especially when we scooted the baby pool under the canopy!
We did get to take some fun family pics the night before we left. We didn't have the matching outfits but I think they turned out pretty well after all.
