Well our little Collin is growing up so fast. I am sitting at the dinner table, watching Chris feed Collin his desert...prunes. Now I know what your first reaction may be, "Prunes? Yuck!", but he LOVES them. They are the first food I ever fed him. My intention was to feed him the organic rice cereal that was to be his first food...however, Collin would have non of it! The prunes were for...well, you know...and he gobbled them up! But my reason for blogging today is NOT to tell you about prunes.
Our little bundle of joy is now 7 months old. Very exciting for both of us as we get to see the new personality of a boy who is himself. We can't fit him into this little cookie cutter and have him turn out to be a copy of anyone else. Both Chris and I are working like crazy to help shape and mold Collin into a young man of character. We don't want to make him into a puppet, but instilling morals and character is our responsibility as parents. God has entrusted us with a little one and we are to take care of him.
I have gone through many baby clothes as I try to put away the things Collin is outgrowing. Sad, but also a bit exciting too! Do you know he is almost 17 lbs? When we brought him into the doctor for his 6 month check-up, I found out he is only in the 25% for his size...a little disheartening to me. I don't understand why he isn't bigger (and I honestly wonder how big he is actually supposed to be) because he is a fat baby! He has rolls, people! But I guess he should be bigger, but he is happy and healthy for now and that's what is important.
This is all for now! Dinner is over and now we get to PLAY!
