Throwback Thursday

It's Thursday, so it seems like an appropriate time to catch up on the last couple of months since I have been seriously delinquent in my updates.  So, here we go.  We are going to go on a fast track to catch up on 10 months and 11 months.... and then ultimately our year wrap up (under separate post).  Who has a 12 month old?  I mean seriously?  He's a "toddler" by definition I guess now, but honestly, he's still such a baby (I mean that in the most non-derogatory way possible).

And a quick flashback into your very first Christmas!!!  We flew to Kansas City and you handled like a champ.  We were expecting you to kick and scream pretty much the entire way and you surprised us by pretty much sleeping the entirety of the flight.  Thank goodness.... I wasn't prepared to apologize to the other passengers for the entire trip!  


That's just a little snippet of our Christmas celebration in Kansas City

So what happened at 10 months you might ask?  Oh - let me fill you in.

Colin started crawling.  As in really crawling - not his little sit and crab-crawl number.  He was a little slow at first, but he definitely caught on.  He went to his first Blackhawks hockey game, watched is first Super Bowl. And sadly, thinking back (and using my phone as a cheat) I don't much remember 10 months.  I wish I had been better at keeping track, but time just moves so quickly.  I managed to sneak 10 month pictures in right before his 11 month day ---- I mean, squeak it in.  It was the night before.  Oops!


I'm glad we took the pictures - but Colin was pretty unhappy
Update on 11 months... we celebrated John's 31st birthday (with a spontaneous road trip to Michigan).  We endured more snow, upon more snow, upon more snow.... and incredible cold.  We balanced shoes on Colin's head, took Colin's first trip to Iowa (wooohooo... Michigan and Iowa in one month?  Every child's dream), and Colin started rolling over in his sleep and standing up in his crib in the middle of the night.  So we have that going for us.... at least he's cute when you walk in at 3am to him standing there yelling for someone to come and help him.  Now if he could only figure out how to lay back down to go back to sleep.


I'll have to add more later, I have a million things I want to say about our little man turning the O.N.E. and what we have been up to.  But that will have to wait until another night.  

Happy Thursday!
