One Month of Collin

Collin started using his activity mat earlier this week and I think he likes it!



It doesn't seem that long ago that I was taking a similar picture, except it was Benjamin looking down on baby Anna! She really loves her baby brother, they both do!


Happy girl before she got sick!


Hi!


It's hard to believe it's been a whole wonderful month of having Collin in our lives, but he is in fact one month old! I really enjoyed taking pictures of Anna on her month birthdays in our rocking chair with her bear, so I'm doing the same for little Collin! At first I took some pictures of him when he was asleep, in case he wasn't happy alert later. He was sweet enough to give me both sleeping and awake pictures!

Then he gave me some cute awake pictures w/ his big blue open eyes!





I'm blessed with two other beautiful sweet babies too!


Naked girl! She's managed to keep in mostly good spirits even though she's sick.


But unfortunately she is feeling bad now. :(


Thankfully Benjamin is feeling much better! Like Dave's funny face?


Well here are more of the many wonderful faces of Dave:



Even when I'm sick, Dave serves as great entertainment (and support, love, fun, and a bit of goofiness)! :)

Benjamin pushed his head into the side of our coffee table and it moved a little. After which he declared, "I'm a strong boy! That why I have a big head." Glad we cleared that one up.
-------------------------
I put a TV show on for Benjamin and he says, "You're a good Momma! God blessed us with a good Momma and a good Daddy and a good Anna and a good Baby and a good Benjamin!"
------------------------
Anna was in the kitchen being very quiet (not usually a good sign). When Dave went in to see what she was doing, she had pulled a piece of tupperware off the counter and opened it and stuffed the bread stick that was in it inside her mouth!
-------------------------
I thoroughly enjoy teaching Benjamin ways to bother Dave. Dave was laying on his belly and I could see his underwear peaking out, so I told Benjamin to pull Daddy's underwear (trying to get him to give Dave a wedgie). He kept just grabbing and letting go (making them snap). So I told Benjamin, "Just grab them and start running!" Dave let out a cry of surprise and declared, "Just grab them and start running?!?! That's the worse wedgie instruction ever!" Benjamin of course picked up on this and did a wonderful job following the instructions!
-------------------------
We've been getting the kids chocolate milk while they are sick as a treat. Anna says somethings really cute by putting a pause in between some phrases. She does this with "chockwet (pause) miwk". Before bed, she asked Daddy if she could have some. After Dave said yes, she turns to her baby doll and asked, "chockwet (pause) miwk?" We both said awe and then Dave asked her if her baby wanted some. To which she replied, "Mmmmhhhhhh!" Benjamin has started this thing where he waits to see if Anna is going to finish all of a special drink/treat. He times his treat to match her consumption as if to not be w/out the treat while she is still enjoying her's. So with the chocolate milk, he kept stalling drinking his own while asking over and over again, "Is Anna gonna drink all her chocolate milk?"
