18 Months

I can't believe my baby is 18 months, sniff sniff.  But it sure is a fun age, he is a walking, talking, little person and has a whole lot of personality!

-Putting two words together, we often hear "my milk," "Bubba's shoes," "more book"
-Loves brushing his "teeeeeeth"
-Climbs onto everything, puts both hands in the air and says "ta-da!"
-Loves all things outside: sticks, rocks, bugs, flowers, water, dirt, swings, slides, walks and bike rides
-Asks for a Popsicle at every meal and any time we open the freezer
-Can not have his paci without also carrying blankie and puppy
-His favorite song is "Shake it off" by Taylor Swift, he sings and hums along
-Obsessed with books, its his first request every morning 
-Says yellow for every color
-Labels body parts: eye, ear, toes, feet, belly, teeth, and most often nose
-Gives the best kisses and hugs!
-Needs every "wowie" kissed twice when he gets hurt
-Loves when sissy does Under Dog "done dog" on the swing
-Finally rocking a good sleep schedule! Sleeps 7:00 pm to 6:30 am and naps 12-3 on a good day
-Very easy going, loves new adventures, flexible, talks constantly and is absolutely adorable!

4th of July


Reunited

These two were happy to be reunited after five days apart!






Minnesota Trip

Jon and Colbie went to Minnesota to meet Michelle and Brien's new baby, baby Elijah.  I was a bit nervous but Jon (and his family) did a super job taking care of Colbie and they absolutely spoiled her with fun!

She LOVED meeting baby Elijah and may have been a bit suffocating, sorry Michelle!  She also enjoyed a day at the beach, rides and lunch at Mall of America, seeing The Little Mermaid play, and getting a real riding lesson on a horse!  If you ask her what was her favorite part she says "my new unicorn from Grandma and Grandpa" but pretty sure every activity/day was her favorite.  Except for one little melt down missing mom.  I missed them tons (five days is a long time) and was sad not to meet adorable Elijah, but I know Jon was able to enjoy his time with the family much more without Ashton running around!

Little Artist

Colbie really enjoys drawing and her pictures are now recognizable and pretty darn adorable!
