Collin crawls! .... well, sorta

So just a few days ago Collin started moving forward on his own. He's been pushing himself around in circles for a while, but he could not push himself forward. Now he twists and half army crawls with his arms, but only when he really wants to get to something. We've trained him so he know that if he can get to our hands we will pick him up. So here he is scooting his way to tummy time freedom. Notice how happy he is at the end!

How is he this cute???

So we have taken random pictures of Collin here and there and it never ceases to amaze us how stinking cute he is. Just see for yourself...





Look at those eyes big bright eyes.


Collin Loves playing in the sink. He especially loves brushing his teeth with his very own brush.


Helping mommy with the laundry


I couldn't resist a good bath tub shot. He absolutely loves bath time. He would stay in it all day if he could splashing the water all over the place.

Fun at the park

The weather here is just fabulous. We are loving the sun. Collin and I went to the park twice today. Once with some other moms from the ward and then with some good friends the Purcellas and Adam. Collin loves being outside no matter what we do. I think we have found a new favorite spot. Although Collin has definitely had a few rough weeks, he is still such a sweet adorable little guy and we just love him. It is so fun to be a family. Adam and I feel so blessed for all the wonderful blessings God give us everyday, especially the gospel, each other, Collin, and all of our wonderful family.

Put another song on, Collin

So we made a discovery recently that Collin loves the stereo. Here is a little story in pictures that shows what I'm talking about.

Collin sits himself in front of the stereo and starts pulling out CDs. (Actually we put him there because he can't move on his own yet.)

He checks them out and picks one he wants to listen to.

Collin puts the CD in the stereo and pushes the play button.

He says, "Hey Dad, don't bug me, I'm listening to music!"

Then he goes back to enjoying his song.

I hope you enjoyed that little story. We're loving our little guy. He is so fun and has such a personality. He's a little sick right now and its sad, but other than that he's doing good. We just want him to start crawling. He's being a little booger and he doesn't even try, but he's 8 months old now and it's about time.

Sorry Everyone

So Jenn started this blog and it was really her thing, but apparently she doesn't like to write in it anymore. I will have to get on her about that. But until then I will continue to do my job as the tech guy and upload pictures and videos, because thats what I'm good at. I'm a boring writer, but at least I can do media. Anyways, here is out latest video of our little munchkin. Enjoy!!!

Well, we are just loving Collin so much. He is always as cute as he is in this video. Yeah right. He has his moments, or days, just like any other baby, but he is still such a joy. He is playing in an exer-saucer now which is very nice for us. He can actually amuse himself for a significant amount of time now. He is working hard to sit up on his own, but still topples over after just a second. His favorite things are to spit-up, blow raspberries, and grab our faces. We will be sure to keep you updated with pictures and videos on how our little boy is growing up.

Our Wonderful Thanksgiving
