Sunny Day in the Backyard

I think I have forgotten to mention what all Colin is up to at 6 weeks. He really likes making "g" sounds and from day one, when he was hungry, has yelled 'gaaay!" or having gas pain "gee!" -- but his new sound is from when he is talking to me -- he says "n-goo". Oh my gosh, he just melts me when he talks to me.

His other favorite thing to do is be upright. He loves to stand up, just like Lily at that age. He fully supports his own weight, I just have to hang on to him because he lacks balance. His head control is awesome too, we have never needed to support his head. I'm thinking he's gonna develop much along the same lines as his sister -- super duper fast. Maybe even too fast for my liking, as he is my last baby and I'd prefer he act like one for at least a bit longer.


So, Springtime has Sprung, as the saying goes. Lily's grandma sent her home with a chrysalis - a caterpillar hanging from the top of a cage thingy that currently resides in our kitchen - that we are told will turn into a butterfly soon. We have these amazing flowers in our backyard that only bloom in early April (anyone know what they are?!) that were planted by Devin's grandmother a long time ago. They bloom every year and they turn our yard into a spectacular garden. We took a little fieldtrip today to the backyard to enjoy the sunny day.
