Ho Hum

So when you upload the pictures you've taken for the week and they total 47.... 46 of those being of your baby, and one of the spit up running down your back and puddling on your pants, you know you're a mother.

We actually did do a few fun things last week, but for some reason I only think to grab my camera when Collin is smiling. The slightly manic one taken below was right after we spent two and a half hours in the sun at UB north campus last Saturday. Trav helped put on a social for the YSSA. Sadly, I don't even know what that stands for, but it's the new club that recognizes the Mormon religion on campus. I got a mad sunburn favoring one side of my body and I think Collin must have gotten a bit dilusional from all the fresh air :) It was a busy day filled with a baby shower in the morning, the social in the afternoon, grocery shopping, and then a drive out to Genesse College to see a fashion show. We have some friends that manage the Buckle store at the mall and they invited us since some of their clothes were being modeled. To make a long story short, we rush to get ready, rush to pick up the Shaws, rush to grab dinner, rush to get to the college (getting lost first, of course) and by the time we get there, we are 15 min. late and Collin is screaming to be fed. I nurse him in the hall and make it to the fashion show to see the last ten or so minutes. Sigh.

So I went to Target yesterday to look for some shorts for Collin to wear over his onsies since the weather is getting so warm. I bought these denim shorts in "newborn" size. You don't get any smaller than that without going to "preemie" size and I didn't see any of those. I was all excited to go home and put them on him. They didn't fit. Even a little.

I just thought this face was hilarious. Like he's getting ready to fight ya for making fun of him in his oversized pants. Haha.

His latest talents include getting his hands to his mouth then trying to insert his whole fist. He sucks and slobbers as long as he can. I think I've got a future thumb sucker on my hands! He will also lay on this monkey thing I bought that has an arch above him with dangling toys and try to bat at them. It's amazing how simple things like that keep him busy.

Well I have these pics thanks to Rach's blog! Last Friday we went on a picnic and enjoyed the B E Utiful weather! I think I look kinda silly in this pic, like I'm struttin a pose. I was just leaning close to Collin so we fit in the picture.

Here's Rach... posin' with the picnic basket :)

Hooray for Spring! I have been trying to get outside with Collin everyday. I've attempted to go jogging but I don't have a jogging stroller and the front two wheels wig out when I get on rough ground. It violently shakes the whole stroller and Collin's eyes get as big as saucers and his lips purse together. Last time, it kept doing that, so I tried jogging with the stroller on two wheels. I'm sure the neighbors were puzzled.
