Happy Easter!

If you didn't know already--Easter is one on my favorite holidays. Every year, Jack puts together an easter basket for me, and hides it in the house. Who wouldn't love a secret treasure of chocolate and presents?! Well, this year, Jack surprised Colin with his first Easter basket! Colin didn't get any chocolate--but he did get much needed diapers and tylenol!!! hahaha.

New Toys and Bedtime

Colin has moved up a stage in toys---he's now in his exersaucer! With a little help from blankets to prop him up in the back, he's loves to stare at toys and squeal in delight. No lie--he squeals. And please ignore the mess in the background--I already know that my mom will tell me how messy it looks!



Here we are! Colin is teething--so he continues to chomp on his hand on a daily basis. He's also started to play with his hair, and grab at his teething toys.

Also, happy to report that Colin has a bedtime...8:00pm. We're in week 2 now, and he's doing pretty well. Nights when he cries himself to sleep are especially hard for me. I prefer nights like tonight, he closes his eyes and that's it for the night! He'll sleep for about 11-12 hours a night, with 2 feedings in the middle. Pretty good!


2 more working days before we leave for San Francisco!!! And Jack leaves for Phoenix on Friday. We are so excited for this trip!

It's a blizzard!

It's a blizzard--and Jack's digging us out! Yep, they predict about a foot of snow after this storm is all said and done! Jack's using this year's present to himself--a snowblower! =)

And lucky me! Natalie came over and cooked dinner with Colin.

I've experienced a handful of heavy snowstorms here in Ohio--but this was a first. I looked outside our window, and a man was going down the street on his cross country skis!

3 months old and growing!

Okay, it's been about 3 months, and the kid is growing. He likes to eat his hand, and as you can see, he's busting the buttons on his sleepers. I unofficially weighed him at 3 months, and he was 18 pounds. I'm no baby expert, but he doubled his weight in 3 months! Like I keep saying, "that crazy, growing baby!"

Colin's alive and kicking, but are Jack and Jamie? Barely. We've never experienced this type of exhaustion before. Enough said. On the other hand, Colin's episodes of laughter and giggles get longer and longer--and that makes all of the exhaustion worth it. Amazing babies.
