What's big brother up to?

While the baby has received the most attention lately, Collin has not been just sitting on the sidelines. He has been growing up quickly as well over the last month! One of my friends mentioned how her son's vocab expanded rapidly after her baby was born, and Collin has done the same thing! I think everyday he comes up with a new word, and sometimes we have to try to guess what he is referring to. He likes saying his colors, and talking about trucks, and cars (or bye-byes), and trains. While it can be irritating to hear him repeat the same word over and over and over (and over!) again, it is only for a season. The little toddler voice will only last for so long, and I can find joy in it....I smile everytime I hear him say "yellow bus". Precious!

A shirt for Poppa. Collin & Poppa became best buds over the six weeks of his visit. Going on walks and playing golf (finding turtles in the yard), playing cars & trains.
