We went to the zoo for Colin's first birthday. The only animals he showed any interest were the fish and the "prowler cat" that was pacing back and forth. Otherwise he tried to touch the fences or glass separating us from the animals.

Huggies Commercial

They made a huggies commercial about Colin!

Stopped by the Fuzz

Holy crap! Is this actually a new blog by the Butlers?

I (andrea) was stopped by a policeman on the way to work yesterday. He thought that I wasn't wearing my seat belt. I was, and he fortunately gave me the "benefit of the doubt". Whatever.

On to Colin. He's almost a year old! Memorial Day weekend we went all went to Heather's (Jared's younger sister) and Tyler's wedding in Bend. Colin took his first couple of unassisted steps (unintentionally) on the 25th. He's taken a few steps since then, but doesn't really choose to do any solo walking. He enjoys walking while holding on to someone else's hand. In fact, he loves it. He still loves yelling, too. Or maybe he's singing along with the Phantom of the Opera CD. :o)

April

Colin usually knows what to do when a camera is pulled out. But sometimes its difficult to get a good shot of him for the frame for his monthly photos. Here are the many faces of Colin:

Finally - the 10 Month Photo!



We've done a little traveling the last couple of months to visit family. For Easter, we were in Eugene visiting Cousin Ainsley.


Just last weekend we went to Bend for Aunt Heather's bridal shower. Colin got to ride in a red wagon with (soon-to-be) Cousin Kylee!

Mad Marchness

Ok, so I'm copying Adam Carolla with the title.

I'm glad that the snow waited to fall until after my studded tires were removed. Its so weird that its snowing right now.

My apologies for the belated Colin update, we were lacking a computer for a while and we've just been crazy busy. Colin figured out how to crawl and pull himself up to standing within a few days-just before he turned 9 months. He lets go of things to try to stand on his own. I think his record is somewhere between 10 and 15 seconds. I'm guessing he will be walking before he turns a year old. Here he is in all his cuteness!
