Mama

Colin finally says Mom now, or more like mom-mom-mom. I'll give him credit for Dad first, followed by dog, Mom, that, eyes (his favorite body part to identify), and various odd sounds that have meaning, like 'ta' for light and 'buh' for bunny. There are new sounds daily, and I'm slowly decoding them. 'That' is definitely the most popular word, being said at least 100 times a day when he sees anything interesting, along with a pointing finger of course. We're working on mastering the movements of the song 'head, shoulders, knees and toes'.

The new baby is keeping me alert, she's always on the move. She gets the hiccups now, and pokes out body parts all the time, which leads to a fun guessing game for us. December 14th is our c-section, so only 7 more weeks, max. I've been slowing down a lot lately with back issues, which is bad timing, because the weather's finally cool enough to be outside, and Colin loves the outdoors. Its all worth it, but I'll be happy to be able to walk around comfortably again. Kevin's more then pulling his weight right now, but he's a great sport about it all.

Hopefully I'll update pictures again before the new baby's here.
