Valentines weekend and Collin's 6 month

Valentines Weekend was a big weekend for us. Collin had his 6 month check up on Friday, he is still only in the 5-10 percentile for weight (14.7 pounds), 50th for length (26.5 inches) and a whopping 90 percent for his head (not sure how big it was)....so apparently, he has big brains. Other than that, he is doing good. We are still working on sitting up lots as you can see from the picture below. But that little smile gets me every time. For the long weekend, I was able to take some time off from work to go to the doctor with Collin and also we went up to my parents house in Idaho and my parents baby-sat Collin while Ryan and I went on a real date, on our own, and dressed up. I don't even think Collin recognized me :) And what is with my hair getting MORE red in every picture?
Up in Idaho, we tried out our first umbrella stroller.
They have such a nice house to stroll around in, that was one of his favorite things, just hanging out in the stroller and grandma strolled him around the house.
Don't tell his daddy, but Collin LOVED to look at this little doll of Sadee and Ava's. I think he thought it was his first girlfriend.
And of course we played with Sadee and Ava. Collin ESPECIALLY loves Sadee. Seriously, his face LITERALLY LIT up when she came around and did all her laughs and jumpy jumps. He had his second laughing fit with her this past weekend.
Auntie Kari of course for Christmas gave Collin this ADORABLE little outfit that he wore to church. It is a cute little Gap onesie with a teddy bear, as well as these ADORABLE plaid pants. The pictures don't do the outfit justice...auntie Kari always keeps us in style.
This was one of my favorite pictures from the weekend. Collin LOVES his daddy. Seriously, over the last couple of weeks, he is always turning to look for his daddy to come into the room, and play with him and do silly faces. He especially likes to touch his face.
We had a great holiday weekend. Hope you did too!

Oh, that last picture is precious! Collin is so cute!

Kambria and Collin can be "big head" buddies. Her head has bounced from 95th percentile to off the charts since she was born.
