Still Here!

8/16/09.... was the last time I posted anything to my little family life blog. Big-time yikes!

Since having (err... being forcefully made) to go back full-time to work, I haven't thought of my blog outside of work. So I realized inside of work would be a great time to start posting more, since I'm soooo... busy here! I should really be posting updates, especially to 'journal' about my fast-growing baby. I like this outlet for doing so, instead of writing it. And I don't get that many visitors, so I don't have to censor too much :-)

While not working, I really enjoy my time with Kory and Colter. Here are some things Colter can do at 15-months (and Daddy at 362 months).

[At his 15-month appt. he weighed 22 lbs (18%) and was 33'' (94%).]

Colter is getting really good at walking, at times he can even kick it up to a jog. I love picking him up at daycare, he sees me and runs to me. Toddler hugs are the best!

He crawls up and down the stairs, no problem. And with a little hand holding can walk up and down said stairs.

Still prefers to say dadada, instead of mamama. I know that will change and there may come a day when all I hear is "mom", "Mom", "MOM".

Loves opening and closing doors and has even said 'door'. I think it's the mechanicalist in him.

That's also why he has loved books. Its more about turing the pages than it is what is going on in them.

Colter says 'hot' a lot. I taught that to him one day while baking something in the oven, so he will learn to stay away from the oven.

I think he can say dog or Molly in some form, but haven't figured out when he is saying it - dooggie, duug, etc.

He was doing this yodeling thing for awhile. "Diddle-diddle dadda" "Dodi-Lodi". Really cute! Thus, I like to sing Snoop Dog to him - "Lodi dodi, Colter likes to podi. He don't botha nobody".

He loves picking up rocks and holding one in each hand. He does the same thing at meal time. One hand, usually the right one, must be holding part of the meal (such as a cracker) while he puts the other food in his mouth with his left hand. Cute!

There are many other great things to type down about my toddler Colter, and hopefully I will keep it up!
