Updates: a little over 1 yr

1. Scared of Santa. He screamed, yelled, and cried...but he loved watching Santa from a distance.
2. Current fruit choice: blackberries. 3. Current stain removal choice: Shout stain removal stick. It can get blackberry stains out!
4. A stuffed animal kind of guy. They are cleverly placed at stroller level at every store. Colin loves them, and wants to hug and kiss each one that we pass. This dog below is from Aunt Natalie...an early x-mas present.
5. Hugs and kisses. Every morning, he wakes Jack up with hugs and kisses.
6. Future reporter? He loves walking around the house with paper and pen. He babbles, pretends to write, babbles, and paces through the house. Last night it kept him busy for 45 minutes. I can't wait to know what he's thinking and trying to tell us.
7. Loves his bottle. We're down to one bottle a day (early morning), and he won't give it up. He has sippy cups for the rest of his meals/snacks, but he refuses it in the morning. One of these days, when Jack and I have the patience to listen to him cry, we're going bottle-less!
8. He still drools. Enough said.
9. Role playing. We put his stuffed animals to bed during the day, tuck them in and all. He's learned to leave the room and close the door to let them sleep.
10. Following directions. He's pretty good at doing what we tell him...

• Can you get me that book, and come over here so we can read?
• Please go to the bathroom to wash your hands (of course we assist)
  
• Can you please wait?
  
• Please sit by your chair until your food is ready.
• Can you please find me (insert toy here)?
• Can you please go to your room, I have to change your diaper? (he's learned to turn around and go in the other direction for this one!)

Oh how quickly time flies.
