Oh Eggnog, That Sweet Nectar

It's Box -Colin Update

So I'm enjoying my time in the box, starting to figure out the design features, etc. I toss few toys out of the box. Pretty cool stuff. Soon I want one of the toys I tossed out. I reach over for it. Then, blam, I catch the floor with my face! My first busted lip and there's blood! Ugh! What is that about? The safety rollover feature was not engaged. Mom came over, cleaned me up, and gave me an ice cube. I'm doing better. -Colin out.

It's Box, It's Box...

"It's Box, Box, it's big, it's roomy, it's wood.
It's Box, Box, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a Box! You're gonna love it, Box!
Come on and get your Box! Everyone needs a Box!"
-Adapted from Ren and Stimpy's "It's Log".




Many an evening is spent with Colin sitting in his nine
3lbs. bags walnuts box from Costco. He loves being
pushed and pulled around, much like a sled, on the
kitchen floor. Toss in a few toys or let him figure out
the side flap and bang on it, and he's set for a good
20 min or so.

Water Baby

This kid can't get enough of his bath time. He loves splashing and sticking his face in the water. When we are done soaping him up, we hose him down with the shower head. He loves trying to grab the water and shoves his face into the spray. Then he looks up at us like "look at me, I'm so crazy!" And laughs. We are hoping this will translate well when lake season begins next year. We will probably look at baby "swimming" lessons before then.

Baby Dinner Party

Elizabeth and Foster graciously hosted Colin and Grace for a dinner party one evening. They did allow the parents to come. The girls had a great time playing dress up and being chased by Foster. Colin just climbed on things and drooled on toys. He enjoyed watching the older kids.





At dinner, Colin enjoyed his first, and probably last, teething biscuit. It stuck to his face, hands and highchair like tar! I had to "presoak" his face before I could get a layer off. I wonder how they would work as facial masks...ew.
