"Your Baby Can Read"

This is a cute video of Collin Watching his "Your Baby Can Read" Video

Auntie Roxy's Graduation

"Here is the program for Auntie Roxy's graduation; Mom I said I got it, you can let go..."

"Here I am with Auntie Roxy after the ceremony, wait GiGi you're going to get your hand in the picture..."

"Okay I'm not in this one, but it is such a good picture of Grandpa and Auntie Roxy at the graduation feast"

A Message from Collin

Oh how game day has changed

This is how Aaron watches the OU games these days...Mind you he doesn't know I'm filming, and this had gone on a good 10 minutes before I was able to sneak of and get the camera

Beep Beep Beep

Here is Count Collin on Halloween

Here is a picture of his full outfit (Wednesday night for church)

Ode to 6 Weeks of Eating

Sweet Potatoes

A Big Day! (working title "I'll do milestones over and over until you get the camera out")

"He's Alive!!!....cue Collin."

Walker!

APPLES!!!

The apples were a little to hot to give to Collin (according to the nifty color changing spoons Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Michelle gave him). So I was stalling and finally got him to say this on Camera...

And here is Collin trying apples for the first time...

San Antonio Trip

Collin expresses his excitement about the trip

The long car trip helped Collin decide on his vote...

Collin in the pool with GiGi, waiting for Mommy to come down the indoor slide!

Where is Aaron and Collin?

Shamu at sea world

Sea Lions at Sea world (we didn't know he was still filming at the end of this one)

Daddy steals some alone time with Collin

San Antonio

Well, Collin turns 5months old tomorrow and we are taking him to San Antonio! At least that's our excuse. This is a no laptops allowed trip so we won't have any new posting until we get back...

Collin's Normal Day

These are somethings Collin does during his day.

Day Time Nanny

A lot of people enjoyed the video of the night time nanny, so here is a video of our daytime nanny

Daddy Plays With Collin

So Aaron went to dress Collin for bed and change a diaper, but it was just taking to long so I went to investigate

Rattling in My New Fall Cloths

Well, Fall is in the air so Collin finally got to put on some of his Fall clothing, and he played with his first rattle today as well. Oh, yes those are OU shoes...

Aaron has "The Talk" with Collin

Diaper Change

Now that Collin is nearing 5months, he is taking time to discuss the details of his diaper changes.

Time, wipe temperature, absorption capacity...the finer things

Collin's Newest Headshot

See my agent.

Mmmmm, Cereal

Collin LOVES Cereal now!

Bedtime

Collin argues his case regarding his bedtime

Avocado

Collin's first Avocado...

Resourceful Benedick

Now that our time and attention have been diverted to Collin, Benedick is learning how to do some things on his own...

Collin's Dedication

Our pictures didn't turn out good, someone else took some and I am waiting for those, so here is the video for now...

Collin's First Cereal

Collin you are four months old! You have won rice cereal, what do you think?

"What in the world...hmmm..."

"Do I like? Do I not like it? Hmmm..."

"Nope, I do not like it!"

We made it with formula for this first time, he liked it a lot more the next day when we made it with the stuff he is used to, or maybe he liked it better because Daddy was giving it to him...or both.

Candy or Corn...

Collin is now looking forward to his first Halloween after Aunty Roxy introduced him to his first Halloween treat, or at least the bag

Collin's Biggest Fan

...or Collin is its biggest fan...you decide

Collin's Dedication

Collin is going to be Dedicated at First Christian Church in Durant on September 21st at the 10:45am service. We would love anyone who can make it to come on down the address is 301 N. 3rd Street and then join us at our house afterwards to celebrate.

Naptime

Collin has become so good about going to sleep as soon as I put him in his crib and he even sleeps through the night...most of the time. The flash from the camera did not wake him up when I took this a minute ago.

GiGi plays with Collin

GiGi and Autie Roxy came over to visit and played these games with Collin for at least thirty minutes

Night Time Nanny

This was taken at 1:00am...

School Starts and GiGi Visits

GiGi came up for a surprise visit. Collin is wearing a backpack (Daddy's first day of school is today).

ATTENTION!

The last few days Collin has discovered the volume of his voice. Last night he was so loud we could not hear the TV so we got the camera, but every time we turned the TV off he would stop talking.

Our Nightly Sing Along

Collin loves when we sing to him (thank goodness or he would be a miserable kid), the best part is, he joins right in. These videos are a few weeks old, but I just couldn't decide which one to put up, so I picked two. This night was "Adair Heritage" night.

Kansas City (From "Oklahoma")

Oh Danny Boy (Irish National Anthem)

COLLIN ROLLED OVER

Collin has started rolling over in protest of his mandatory belly time that he loathes so much. He did it twice in a row last night (stopped when we got the camera out) and once this morning. We will get it on camera as soon as we are able.

Goodnight Collin

Collin falls asleep in GiGi's arms as Daddy sings him to sleep

Big Boy Stroller

What Collin Stands For

After every diaper change Collin likes to stand up for awhile...sometimes longer then others...

2 Months!

Collin turned 2 months old Wednesday, and to celebrate he moved into his 6 month old cloths and size 3 diapers! Wow, we just can't seem to keep him in one size too long. Luckily most of the 6 month cloths we have are short sleeved. His 2 month check up is July 31st so look for growth chart updates. Here is what Collin loves at two months:

1. Napping
2. Watching Benedick and Mercutio
3. His vibrating chair's light show
4. The ceiling fan (His biggest fan)
5. Bathing
6. Talking
7. Standing!

Collin's World Update

For those who are curious as to what Collin is doing after only 10 days of life on Earth:
1. His eyes are open.
2. He is letting his Mother, Da, and GiGi know when he's hungry (about every 4 hours).
3. He is actually lifting his head!
4. He rolled over last night while being changed in protest of rising gas prices.
5. He applied and was accepted into the MBA program at Dartmouth (online, of course).

And BOY is he CUTE. You've seen the pictures, right?
