Daddy Needs a Drink by Rob Wilder
« July 2008 | Main | September 2008 »
Colt has become quite adroit with his hands. And everything - everything - that enters his hands goes straight to his mouth. So everything got a good scrubbing last week. How I will keep this up, I have no idea. I probably won't.
Note to self: Don't buy Colt any more baby toys... for a least 1 month. (But he likes them so much and they're so cute!)
Shelli and Aidan left on Thursday but not before Aidan had a heart to heart with the gorillas at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo...
and fed the giraffes....
and went hiking in the Garden of the Gods...
and did some extreme toddler swinging.
Sorry I have been neglecting you. I unwittingly entered the Facebook vortex and am just escaping.
Sincerely,
Lynn
Colt has been laughing for a few weeks now, but not until this weekend did he really LAUGH. He now laughs spontaneously, often at nothing at all. I think he's still working out this new skill, sometimes laughing at laughter itself. Today I heard him laughing in his sleep. He is definitely ticklish, too. The other day I was washing his feet with a washcloth and to my surprise he started cracking up. So of course, I tested his underarms, and sure enough, ticklish. His first little laugh happened a few weeks ago...he laughed at a very animated Daddy singing "eat, sleep, poo" and waving his arms back and forth. In the video he's laughing at Aunt Shelli...
Yesterday we all went to the North Pole, a Christmas-themed amusement park at the foot of Pikes Peak. It did kind of get me in the mood for Christmas! Aidan got to ride the kiddie rides...he especially liked the carousel and had to ride both the horses and the reindeer. And he road in the little boat ride all by himself! For whatever reason, I decided to shoot all the photos in sepia while we were there. It is a rather old-fashioned amusement park (50 years old this year) and it seemed fitting.
Aidan kept his hands on the steering wheel throughout the entire boat ride... He's a natural, just like his uncle!
What a CUTIE!
Michael's sister Shelli and our nephew Aidan are visiting from Georgia. They got here last week and we are so excited to have them here! Aidan is almost two and is such a sweetheart. It's been lots of fun...will post some more pictures tomorrow.
