November/December 15/16 Months old


  • Colin loves to give hugs and kisses, and his new favorite is coming to grab and hug our legs!
  • He loves to tickle my bare feet, and if they're bare, he'll take my slippers off- this is hilarious to him!
  • We finally got Colin's hair cut in November!  We went to Campus Hairstyling in Aggieville, and Roger did so well with him.
  • He loves feeding himself.  Favorite foods right now- scrambled eggs, pears, bread, cheese, blueberries, yogurt.
  • Colin drinks whole milk about 4 times a day- first thing in the morning, before nap, mid afternoon (sometimes), and at bedtime.
  • Colin still LOVES to read!  He brings us at least 20 books a day to read.  We love that!  We will also find him reading by himself. :)
  • He knows what we're saying to him- if we ask if he's hungry, he'll go to his high chair.  If we ask if he wants milk, he'll go to the fridge.
  • He really likes to close doors- fridge, bathroom, front door, closet.
  • He can say- mama, dada (all the time :) ), Al (his stuffed alligator), yeah, no, uh oh, bye bye, hello (kinda, but he'll put ANYTHING up to his ear if he thinks he hears any phone sound, and say it).  He says other things he repeats after us, not perfectly, but sometimes  the same amount of syllables.  
  • Colin's been "shadow friending" at his little Child's Day Out school. :)  He follows around a little friend, and I guess this is the first step in "playing" with other kiddos!
  • He is RUNNING everywhere.  It's so adorable, he rarely walks, he just does a little jog everywhere!
  • He's been teething in December, poor baby.  His little gums are just so swollen, but he's a trooper!
  • In Nov. he was more often than not taking 2 naps.  Mid to end of Dec. it has moved to 1, mid to late morning.  He still goes to bed around 8pm and will USUALLY sleep until at least 7am.  December has been trying, as it's the first time it's been hard to get Colin to sleep in his life.  We think teething is the culprit.  He's been waking at night, difficult to get to bed.  Poor baby.  We've had to pull a few tricks out of sleeves to get him down!  Hopefully this is a phase and he goes back to being a breeze to get to sleep.  
  • Such a happy little boy!
  • More good news- Colin will be a big brother in June!  

Welcome to the world, Faye Helen Muenks!
