Due to the fact that I have been handling my blogging so poorly as of late I suppose I should catch up on Collin specifically. It seems like he changes daily! So here is what is new with Collin.
He loves to make "funny faces" whenever I take pictures of him. If he sees the camera I rarely get a picture where he isn't squinting his eyes and sticking out his tongue!
He absolutely refuses to sit in a highchair of booster chair. He will stand on the seat or sit on my lap but NO HIGHCHAIR PERIOD! He has learned to unlock the screen door to our back sliding glass door so he lets the dog and himself out on a regular basis. He also loves to hide and since he has learned to let himself outside this new game has induced panic in me several times already!
Collin knows what kind of car everyone drives and announces it every time he sees it. He also has to say goodbye to it. If he sees a similar car on the road-when I say similar I mean make/model/color, not just any old car that is close-he has to tell you whose car it is.
He is very good at saying please, thank you and excuse me. So good in fact, that he will make a fake burping noise just so that he can say excuse me. He also says hello and goodbye to just about every person he sees. He will sit in the front window of our house and wait for someone to walk by so he can yell "HI!" and BYE BYE GUYS!"
I downloaded some new kid songs on my Ipod and was playing them in the car the other day. The "Chicken Dance" was playing and when it skipped to the next song Collin started screaming "AHBAH GAME AHBAH GAME" which translated means baseball game. I didn't see anything that looked even slightly related to a baseball game and noticed that Collin was getting visibly more upset that I was not complying with his demands! Finally it dawned on me that they play the Chicken Dance song at the baseball game. How in the world did he remember that? Today he sat and listened to that stupid song at least 20 times in a row before I couldn't take it any more-WOW-it was a hissy fit of epic proportion!! It was like he was in a chicken dance trance!!
And last but not least we booked our trip to Guatoberfest in October!! My mom and I will be taking Collin. We had decided not to go but Consuelo and Lizzie our great friends and guardian angels from Guatemala will be going so we had to go. I am really excited to see them again! I don't know how we would have made it without Consuelo! We have lots of fun Guat events coming up this summer. Our adoption agency has a reunion in Indiana and another group is having a gathering the same weekend at an indoor water park in Indianapolis so I think we will hit both! Should be fun! Hopefully we can squeeze some camping in too-minus the rain of course!
Well, I think we are caught up-FINALLY!!
