More Pictures

Mom found some more pictures, so look at this post and the one below it...they're both new. The one below says January 9 because that's when she started it.

Last week, Mom had to go to the dentist in Charlottesville, so Papa offered to sit with me for a little while. He said it was a real hardship, and that it was a purely altruistic offer. He looks like he's having a hard time spending time with me, doesn't he? :) We had fun in the waiting room; he fed me a bottle and I managed to not get puke all over him and the tie I got him for Christmas. I dressed up so he and I would look spiffy together.



Here I am hanging out with Nonni:


Here I am playing with Daddy...he calls it wrestling.


Here I am playing in my exersaucer. It's my new favorite toy! I don't really like tummy time (my mom makes me do it daily), but I do love to stand up. That's why this works so well for me.

Happy (belated) New Year!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great start to your new year...our little family sure has! On New Year's Eve , Virginia Tech won the Peach Bowl, then on New Year's Day, Ohio State won the Rose Bowl! 2010 has been a great year to be a Collier. Here I am partying with Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary Allison:

Here I am the next day cheering for the Buckeyes...


Here I am all decked out and ready to go Cracker Barrel with my parents and Nana and Grandpa. It sure was cold that night, so Mom dressed me in my fleece from my buddy Bradley Cox. Dad said I looked "pimp."


Here's another one of my buddies...Noah Heyward and his mom, Jules. They came all the way from Texas for the holidays, and we got to hang out. Noah really made me smile. He's 1 year old and so cool!

My cousins Ashley, Abby and Mary Ella came to visit me, and I really tried to charm them...who wouldn't? Look at those beautiful faces! Do you see me arching back as far as I can to get a glimpse of them? :)

My mom's best friend from high school, Liz, came to visit me. We had so much fun! We went out to eat at Chickpeas, and I puked all over her. I know she loves me because she didn't mind it, and even said she wanted to come back soon.






Here's a random picture that my dad took. He loves to mess with me.


My mom apologizes that it took her so long to do a blog post. She went back to work on January 11th, and we're still getting the hang of life as a little family. Mom is happy to report that she doesn't cry every day now...just some days. :) Kate (Mom's friend who takes care of me during the day) makes her feel so much better because she's such a great mom to her boys. I love hanging out with them...Blake is 2 years old and Beckett was born 4 days before me. We're like twins...except that he's about a foot taller and twenty pounds heavier! :) Next post I'll have some pictures of my best friends.

Plus, my Nonni takes care of me on Mondays! I'm the luckiest boy in the world. We have so much fun together at my house! Papa is bringing her over tonight (even in this crazy snow) to be with me all day tomorrow. Sleepovers are so fun.

Another update: I'm teething! I started at about 11 weeks, and it has been difficult at times. My dad had 4 teeth at 4 months old, so I'm following in his footsteps. One of the videos is of me gnawing on my mom's hand.




That's all for now...see you soon!
