New Skills

Collin is starting to do so many new things lately and I just have to brag on him. His new fascination is pointing to everything and having Mommy or Daddy name it for him. He does this all the time. After we name things a couple of times we call out something for him to find and he can do it. What a big boy!

He is also obsessed with playing with his "Touch and Feel" notecards. He can find all of the cards in the "First Words" set and can recognize almost all of them in the "Animals" set except for the crab. He gets so proud of himself when he gets the answer right.

Collin also has started to refer to me as "Mama". This weekend when I was laying in the bed he came in the room and started hitting the bed for me to get up saying "Mama" over and over. It melted my heart. He is pretty much just saying "Mama", "Dada" and "uh" right now but we are anxiously awaiting to hear more.

He is also obsessed with running down the street. We spend about two hours outside every morning and Collin loves to just run up and down the sidewalks. This morning he went about half a mile total. He has also made a new doggie friend in the neighborhood he has to go and visit everyday named Rocky. Whenever I let Collin loose, he runs down the sidewalk to Rocky's house to see if he is outside. When he is, Collin just pets him and watches his every move. Sounds like a dog may be in our future if this obsession continues.
