Real Housewives of the O.P.

Ok, Jeanne isn't really a housewife since she works from home, but here we are:

Audrey A. was having a bit of stranger anxiety.  Collin was extremely concerned:

But not so concerned that he couldn't enjoy his stroller ride.

Guess which foot belongs to Audrey and which belongs to Collin:

Hugs

Dude News:

• Gives kisses (and hugs as seen in video).
  
• Hugs and has to be pried from his Dad's legs when he attempts to leave for work (Mommy tries not to take this personally).
  
• REALLY boogies when he hears music.
  
• Has made some break-throughs on the solid food eating front.
  

A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

Ok, well it was actually kind of rainy out, but last week we went to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum where they recreated the Mr. Rogers set.  Plus there were lots of other activities to try to wear Collin out.  Check out Grammy's blog for more pictures.

Easter

Collin spent Easter in Pittsburgh.  Over the weekend he got to see his Uncle Doug and Uncle Dave.

Cousin (and biggest blog-fan) Bridget.

Cousins, only a couple of decades apart:
Daddy sponsored and egg hunt and treasure swap.

Aunts Mary Lou and Mary Ann read a book about Collin.
Sporting a DuRag or "DudeRag":
Nobody can seem to put Collin's book down.

Looking out the front window.  Perhaps in South Carolina a cousin is doing the same.
Megan teaches Collin to text,
while Katey teaches him how to play Elf Bowling.

Happy Spring

Tiny Dancer

Collin is a big fan of Dancing With The Stars:

It's hard to tell if he considers himself one of the stars or one of the professionals:

Stopped at a Train Crossing

Don't ask about the outfit...

15-Month Check-Up

Yesterday, Collin had his 15-month doctor's appointment.  He is 32 1/2 inches tall and 28 pounds, 12 oz. heavy.  Dr. Klaus couldn't believe that he has almost all his teeth already.  You should have seen his face when he was told that Collin is almost solely fed on breast milk since our dude is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. Collin was given a completely clean bill of health, including his iron level.  Dr. Klaus wasn't worried about Collin not eating much food yet.  He just said that it is tough for the parents.  He said his own child had the same issue so he and his wife went away while a (very good!) friend watched the baby.  Baba and Mommy may try the same "detox" method soon.  Any volunteers?

Baba's LA Visit

Collin liked looking at some of the pictures that Baba took during his LA visit last weekend.  Baba spent time with Jared and the Fongs:

With The Banks Family (Happy Birthday, Audrey!):

He also got to spend time with Matt and MaryEllen (not pictured).  And of course at the Farmer's Market with the adorable Painters (and booze):
