When I was backing up my files onto my nifty new external drive, I wasn't paying enough attention and I accidently erased all the pictures of Calen (and Colin) except the few that we took at the hospital.  And considering she's brand new I lost a lot of "firsts" like first-tummy-time.  I was so bummed.  Luckily she looks like Colin so really I can just look at his baby pictures...



Colin is such a good Oppa.  He gives her kisses (and leaves puddles of germy-germ drool on her, )brings her blankets (and covers her face) and toys (and pokes her with them because she won't/can't accept them).  If you ask him who's baby she is he'll say, "Colin baby."  I love my son. 



Calen is Colin... dressed in pink. 



My angel...

managed to project poo over 4 feet... on two playmats, two pillows, my hands/arm/leg, and Colin's arm in one fatal blow.  Whatta shitty, shitty day that was!



My biggest pet peeve is when Colin says, "mine, mine, mine."  I tried to spank it out of him... but that only fueled the fire.  Now he says "mine, mine, mine" whenever he wants to piss me off or if I piss him off even if it doesn't fit contextually.  It really gets under my skin.  I'd prefer if he told me to "fuck off."  That would make me laugh.



I'll be sad the day Colin can enunciate better than me. Til then I'll enjoy trying to decode his baby talk.  Our favorite is the mochocho (remote control).  We just learned that a wacaca is a harmonica.  Colin is also at the age where he is pretty possessive.  Everything is my <this> and my <that>.  The other day he was putting on his Crocs while chanting "my cock my cock"



They grow so fast.  I watch Calen double in weight in a month... and I think... maybe I want a third.  Yikes. 

We are days away from baby #2.  Colin is up for quite a shock.  He hugs my belly everyday and says "Hi baby Calen" and kisses it often.  Maybe he gets it?  He's also started to lift up Dr Evil's shirt and says "Hi baby" to his belly as well (Doc, it's time for you to hit the gym again).  So maybe he doesn't get it.  Well EDA isn't until April but my OB is pretty convinced she'll be gracing us with her presence sometime next week.  If she came by Monday I could say I had both babies before 30  !  lol.  At least having another baby takes the edge off of turning thirty.

my fav Colin-words
bahmboo   = bahngboo (fart)
mochocho = remote control
ilutoo        = i love you


New Years in Houston.  (18 months old)


He could sort all 12 shapes after a couple of tries.  He's a genius!


He found my wallet, climbed in the stroller by himself and then dumped everything out of my wallet... he's a punk.


Potty training day 1. 


For those of you who think Colin is all smiles all the time... this pic's for you.
