Finally, a new blog posting!

It has been a long time since we posted anything on the blog. We have had a busy couple of months and our computer was having a lot of trouble. We got a new computer (YAY!) so now we will be posting more.

Adam usually posts but I (Natasha, that is) will be posting from now on. I have more time and have to earn my keep around here.

Colin is growing and developing fast. We are madly in love with him and are extremely thankful to God for this wonderful blessing.

Colin is eating solids now, sitting up and rolling all over the place. He has eaten the following: rice cereal, peach, cantelope, honeydew melon, apple, apple sauce, avocado, egg yolk, banana, water, baby mum mum cracker, green beans, squash, orange, tomato and a few others. He loves squash, cantelope, and apple sauce. He does not like rice cereal or banana. He also loves water.
I just ate a whole bowl of rice cereal. I loved it but as soon as I tasted more flavourful food I decided I would never eat this slop again.

Look at my eyes.

Happy Halloween Folks!!! Momma made this costume for me. Here I am at the CO-OP getting my pictures taken. Everyone loved me.

Momma thought this corn would be a nice prop - I thought it was yummy!

Smile!

Here we are at a momma and baby group with my friends Bella and Emily.

I like to roll under the futon.

I can sit up all by myself. And notice that I have a bib on in almost every picture. I am a drool machine.

I am a lucky little boy who gets to eat apples in momma and dadda's bed. I love apples.

Baby food that momma made me. I really didn't like it at first but after a few tries I started to like it. Momma says she is not a short order cook and I will eat what she makes.

I love, love, love my dadda! Momma is sitting with her feet up in the living room while dadda and me do the dishes. Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh I'm sleeping.

This is my first time in my high chair. I really like it. Momma puts me here while she makes dinner. I love the noise of the pots and pans and momma tells me about the meals she is making.

Here I am helping momma wash dishes. I love my baby carrier and being on momma's back helps me see everything going on.

As you can see, I'm cute.

This is one of my first times sitting up all by myself. I crashed on my face right after this picture but no crying for me.

This is the face I will use to get my way with momma. Let's face it folks.....she is wrapped around my finger. I can do no wrong.

My friend baby Desmond.

I do not like trying on hats in August.

I love my exercsaucer. Thanks Grandpa.

Momma loves me and she kisses me A LOT!

I visited with my aunt Linda in Calgary. She gave me lots of attention and I love her a lot.

This is me and my great grandma. We played cards and ate lots of yummy food. Notice my cap. It looks cute on me.

Family:).

I can roll over.

Here I am looking at fish at the Calgary zoo. I was mesmerized.

Finally....I get to meet my uncle Chris. I love him.

AHHHH...I love cantelope. It is so good and juicy.

Momma tried to give me a bottle. Silly momma. I'm smarter than that.

I love to help momma cook. Here we are making soup.

Winnie + Colin = Love (plus a huge dowry)

YUMMY!

And the kisses continue....

Pics from Newfoundland

Here are some of the pictures from our Newfoundland vacation (July 10-25). We had an excellent time and all our friends and relatives were happy to meet our baby. Everyone was amazed at his good behaviour.

How random... I met the doctor who delivered me!

Nice welcome cake for Colin


Colin blowing bubbles in his car seat. He does this a lot.


Swimming at The Rattle lake in Lethbridge. He cried for a few seconds then he was okay.


Swimming at The Aquarena in St. John's. He looked overwhelmed the whole time!


My brother Andrew and us at Signal Hill. It was suuuper windy that day.


Some tourists actually thought Colin was a doll.


Shopping downtown St. John's on George Street. Every day was beautiful during our trip.

Colin didn't appreciate being put in this flower bed..

to be updated soon!!

Sorry for the extra long wait between posts. I've been super busy catching up at work and moving out of our apartment. Now we're house sitting without internet. I'll be posting all the details of our trip to Newfoundland and lots of pics in the very near future.

BTW, August 1 marked Colin being 4 months old! Today, Caitlin Cleveland is doing another photo shoot with us. We got them done at 1/2 month old, and will get them done at 4 months, 8 months and 1 year.

4 more sleeps to NL!

Colin plays with toys a lot more now. He can grab them, hold them, and swing them around. Momma actually captured him on video transferring a toy from one hand to the other - quite impressive! Check out vid below. We tried the munchkin in the Jolly Jumper and he loved bouncing around. He is still too young for it but he was fun to watch.

He drools so much now that if we forget to put a bib on him, we end up having to change his clothes often. Momma did an excellent job in scrubbing, brushing and moisturizing Colin’s head. Now the cradle cap is virtually gone and his skin is back to being baby soft. His weight today was 14 lbs and 9.5 ounces. His eyes are still a medium blue. He is just beyond cute..
