Colin's Two Months Old!

Colin had his two month check up this week. He was 13 pounds 4 ounces and 24 inches long! The nurse commented that he looked like he was four months old. Everything went well and he is doing great. Here are some recent pictures of him.




Uncle Billy's

We spent the past weekend at my uncle's house in Mattapoisett and I think we may have had the nicest weather of the entire summer. Madison had a blast and spent most of the time in the ocean. On the way home she yelled "back to the beach" the entire time in the car!


Playing in the water with daddy.

Bathtime!

Very happy to be in the bath!


His favorite part...getting his hair washed.



West Hartford Water Park




Our favorite find this summer was a water park in West Hartford that Madison loves. Any place where she can get wet she is happy!


Playground


One of our favorite spots to help Madison burn some energy is the North Street School playground. She loves the slide and the swing.

Colin packing on the pounds


Women would pay thousands of dollars for a set of lips like that.

Colin weighed almost 12 pounds at his one month check up and was in the 95th percentile for his height and weight. He still has not grown into his huge hands and feet.



I know he is going to be angry when he gets older and sees all the picture I took of him in the pink bouncer...it was Madison's and I looked everywhere for a cover for it but apparently they do not make them. Plus, just ask Drew...boys can wear pink.


Madison with her cousins




It's very hard to get their attention when one of their favorite t.v. shows is on!



Madison now officially owns four pairs of sunglasses. She rarely takes them off whether we are inside or out. She usually wears them while she eats as well. She thinks she is very cool when she wears them on top of her head.





All of Colin's little visitors...


Cousin Rachael holding Colin for the first time.

Cousin Peyton holding Colin...singing him her infamous version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Slip and slide at auntie's house


Daddy had to pull her down the slide most of the time because she had a hard time figuring that part out.


Madison loves the water. Her lips were blue because the water from the hose was so cold but she refused to get out. She had a lot of fun sitting in the pool at the end of the slide.


Sisterly love!





Madison loves her new brother. He's been getting covered in kisses whether he likes it or not. She is very loving when she is not trying to sit on him.


New addition to the family...


Colin right after he was born...he has a set of lungs on him.

A recent sunshower...





We were sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day when it started pouring rain...here are some pics of Madison enjoying the rainstorm!!
