4 months old and back to work!

Collin is 4 months old! I can't believe the time has gone be so fast. I knew that it would, but it still seems like it went by so quick.

Collin is holding his head up really well and can lay on his stomach and hold his head a 90 degree angle from the floor. He has also discovered his feet this month and can now reach out and grab some of the toys on his toy bar and hold onto them.






He can now roll from his back to his stomach really well and has rolled from his stomach to his back a few times. For a while he would lay on his back on the floor and use his legs to turn himself onto his side and get about 3/4 of the way over, but stop just short of flipping onto his stomach. He would stay there for a few minutes and then flip back onto his back.

Now, he can flip completely over and he does it really fast. One second you look at him and he's on his back and then you look away for a second and he has flipped completely over and is holding his head up.

Working on rolling over



Collin started daycare full time on June 16th, which was also my first day back at work.

Here is a picture of us on our first day!



And last but not least, here are some pictures of Collin at 4 months!
It looks like he is thinking "I'm how old?"



Sitting in his bumbo

Just when I thought...

That Kaitlyn had outgrown all her cute phrases she tells me this morning "Mom, Emma's breath smells like Petunia Fish!"

I said "Do you mean Tuna Fish?" and she says "Yea", like of course that's what I meant Mom, duh.

Then on the way to school today, she was telling me about how they now have Toy Story 3 Action Figures at Walmart and Target, only she is telling me that there are "Toy Story Action Fingers". I tell her they are called "Action Figures" and she tells me that she has "2 My Little Pony Action Fingers." I give up at this point, it was too cute to hear her say it to correct her again.

She also pronounces "Crayons" as "Crowns" no matter how many times Chris and I try to set her straight it always comes out as "Crowns" when she says it.

It's funny, at the time you think you will never forget all their cute phrases, but then they get older and start to pronounce things correctly and you forget some of the cute ways they used to say things.

One of my all time favorites though has to be "Yarden". She used to refer to all yards as "Yardens" as in "Let's go outside and play in the yarden." I think this originated at Mamaw and Paw Paw's house because they actually have a garden, so if you think about it a yard with a garden in it too = Yarden. Makes perfect sense right?

I know there are several more that I can't remember at the moment, so if you are reading this and you remember some of her cute phrases that she used to say, post a comment to remind me!
