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!!!!!!!

Its Duck Football Season!!!

Yesterday Oregon kicked off their 2008 football season with a visit from their rivals, the Washington Huskies.
Colin was pretty excited about the season opener! Dad and son got matching Jeremiah Johnson jerseys to wear every game this season. We had a good time watching the game together.

Oh ya. The final score: Oregon 44. Washington 10.

Hair Cut

Well, it was time. Colin's hair was too long, according to some peeps. So we took him to Little Clippers (near where we used to live) last Friday. Now that his hair is shorter he looks more like a little boy than a baby. I miss the long hair! I told Jared that Colin isn't getting his next cut until his birthday.





We didn't like the wave so much. We washed the product out of his hair as soon as we could!

Skippy & Sniffles

We got a cat! Well, I've lived with her before. She was at Tate's house for a while, but now she lives with us in our new (old) house.

Colin's got a runny nose and its pretty gross. We have to hold him down and use the snot sucker bulb. He fights us as if we are trying suck his brain out.

Colin's (Belated) Birthday Party

We celebrated Colin's birthday in our new home on July 19th. I think we enjoyed the party more than Colin. He's not a social being. In fact, he seemed depressed or withdrawn with all the people around. But he does like cake!

Colin's 1 Year Photo's

Colin turned a Year Old on the 12th. Cant believe that he is already a year! Alot has happened in that one year. He is growing up so fast! We took him down to get some professional photos taken. He did rather well actually. Here are some of the results.
