Happy half-birthday Colin!!
Colin is 18 months old today…. He is growing so much, changing so much, becoming such a little boy…
He nows says…
Mama, Papa/dada/daddy, Xavier, Colin, Thank you, up, cat, tea, pipi, caca, baby, bath, Dora, Cheese, jus (for drink or have condiments) Apple, timber, Hi, doggy, Ow, bobo, un (one), deux (two)
He does the following sounds:
Train, meow, pants like a dog, neighs, moos, chicken, fish, monkey, duck (plus a few more)
And the following signs:
Maju, more, all done, butterfly, book, bird, monkey, pig, drink, eat, plane, hello/bye, Sun, diaper (plus a few more)
He is such a joy to have around, he is such a loving and cuddly little boy. He is charming and wants to make us laugh all of the time. He is gentle and silly, outgoing and happy, smiley and just plain cute….(of course… he looks like me 😉 )
Here is a year and a half in pics… (not all of course 😉 )
Before Colin was born I remember being scared of not being able to love a child as much as I loved Xavier. Now I have trouble grasping that feeling… the instant he was born, I was in love, I was in as much love as I was with Xavier. I remember feeling that the only difference was that I just didn’t know as well…
Colin makes us laugh every day, it is not only because he is cute and does funny things… he goes out of his way to put a smile on our face… He knows that he can make us laugh…
Colin loves everything and everyone…. he loves to cuddle with Daddy and it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to someone… If you were to come to our home, he would greet you with a smile and say Hi, play at your feet and within a few minutes he would bring you a book expecting you to read to him… He is very attached to mama but doesn’t mind if I leave him with Daddy… He falls asleep on Daddy about half of the time also…
Colin is still not sleeping through the night… well… not “technically”…. he starts off the night in his bed and comes into our bed oon after we have went to bed… he will nurse a bit and then sleep cuddled next to me until morning… I have a feeling that he may nurse at one point during the night but I am not completely sure anymore…. if he does, it doesn’t wake me…
Colin is very sensitive and can get a bit jealous… He doesn’t like to see his brother cry and sometimes looks a bit sad and confused when Xavier is upset… He also is jealous to see his brother nurse… if Xavier nurses Colin will push him out of the way…. He also has one of the most high pitched screams that I have ever heard… I few times strangers have heard him scream and are surprised that he is a little boy….
All in all… Colin is a Joy to be with, he is such a special little boy….
I look forward to seeing him grow…
