Tortured Soul

So Colin decided a few weeks ago that he would prefer not to sleep in his bed. No, he would rather scream like a banshee or as if someone lit him on fire. We aren't sure what has changed. Did he have a bad experience in his room at night? Did a monster creep out from under his crib? This is what happens when he doesn't get adequate sleep during the night:



Of course after we pulled him out of the chair, brushed his teeth, donned his jams he was wide awake. And still went to bed later than his "normal" bedtime!

However, he does have really cute and hilarious moments that we truly enjoy:

Vegas Trip 2009

For our anniversary, Jared and I went to Las Vegas (on the dime of Tahiti Village!). Grandma Bonnie came into town to take care of Colin. I was sad at the airport when we left Colin behind, but he didn't seem to mind. I wonder if he even noticed we were gone for 4 days. Here's some photos.

Santa

We went to see Santa today with our friends Josh, Molly and Aiden. Colin didn't like Santa too much. He does look a little evil. Santa that is.




Present from mom and dad!

Snow Day December 2008!!!

My Mom and Dad both have a snow day off from work. Dad has been home all week due to bad weather. Today I got to go out and play in the snow with mom and dad! It was alot of fun!

No Roses for Corvalis!

Last week I sure had a great time watching the Oregon Ducks trample all over the Beavers!

Word

Early October Colin said his first word: "step". Not "mom" or "dad" or anything normal. Since then we think we've heard him say, "duck" (which comes out, 'guck'), "book", and maybe "milk". My good friend, Ardie, thought she heard him say, "sorry". Other than that, he just makes noises and babbles as if he's really having a conversation.


I have no idea...

Another Friday Evening saving the city and an Afternoon in Eugene

This weekend was very eventful. Friday night was Halloween. Daddy went to the RoseGarden for the Season Opener for the Portland Trailblazers. They had a Fantastic win over the San Antonio Spurs. (Earth Wind and Fire performed the starting Lineup music). I stayed home with mommy and G&G Dingman to hand out candy to all of the kids that came to trick or treat.
Yesterday, mommy went to Seattle with Meeka, so daddy and I went down to Eugene for the Afternoon. The Ducks were in Berkely battling out a sad loss to the Golden Bears, but we got some good family time in. I got to play with my cousin Ainsley and see Aunt Jeanna (Jeannine) and Uncle John.

Until next time...To The Bat Cave!!!!!!!
