Happy Half Birthday!

Do you know what the smallest boy can do now?

Pull up to sitting on his own and squeal with delight.

Enjoy the zoo and notice the animals.

Sit on a park bench and take in the scenery.

Pseudo-crawl after big brother and his toys.

Pick out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch.

Sit and smile for 30 seconds before eating a handful of hay.

Crawl to attack the camera.

Show off (and bite with) his four teeth.

Enjoy the fine taste and texture of watery pureed squash.

Have you noticed how big Colin is getting? I feel like everyone else has noticed but me. We've just been so busy lately that it seems like no time has gone by at all. Last week I got an email offering us free Chuck E. Cheese tokens to celebrate Colin's half birthday. Can you believe that? It's his half birthday already. He's 0.5 years old, going on 2.

I know that second babies are supposed to do everything faster and more intensely but.. really, baby? Really?!

It's a good thing we installed the stairway gate early.
