Colin is getting closer to 3 - I cannot believe it! He does not look like a little baby anymore; he is definitely a toddler. It was really sad when I started realizing that he was leaning out and looking like a big boy, but this age is so much fun. All ages have been, but now he communicates so much with us and is so fun to watch his personality blossom.
He is about 29.5 lbs now. I need to measure him to see how tall he is. He loves cars, superheroes, trains, animals, and books. He LOVES to look at books. It is so cute to see him grab a book on his own and just sit in his room and look at it. He can look at it for the longest time too. His daycare provider says that she is amazed by his ability to concentrate for so long and just be still. He usually is very active but he will sit with the older kids and try to do the art projects with them. She says that she has not seen another 2 year old do that at that level before. So, proud of my baby! Yes, a little bit of mommy bragging time - what can I say it happens.
He is really into the Berenstain Bears cartoon right now. That and Einsteins. Will and Colin listen to "Einstein music" on the way to daycare. That is what Colin calls classical music. He conducts from his car seat! I think it is great that he likes so many different types of music.
Colin still has buddy, who he is now calling Bunny. He also has a new friend, Big Bird, who he calls Baby Big Bird. He has been watching Follow that Bird, he loves that movie! He has memorized quite a few of the songs and sings them all the time. He woke up this morning singing, "Easy going....easy going day". The words he doesn't know end up being a "la la" or something close to that. He almost has the Berenstain Bear theme song down too! He loves to sing and he only has to listen to a song a couple of times before he has it down.
He loves sports too! He still is obsessed with different balls and is always trying to throw them to one of us. We are working on making sure someone is looking at him before he throws it. He has a pretty good arm and aim so if you are not looking it can hurt. He is still working on catching a ball, but he is trying. I want to get him this little tee-ball set. I think it would be a fun summer game.
We have been working on his colors. He has a little trouble with green, but has got most of the primary colors down. He is also counting really well. He can count to 10 and is pretty consistent with counting items when asked. We are also teaching him his shapes. He loves circles! Rectangles and ovals are ones we usually have to remind him about. Will is teaching him instruments! He actually can point out and name drums, piano, guitar, trumpet and a harmonica. Such a smarty!! More bragging moments.
Our little guy LOVES to eat! He is still more of a veggie and fruit lover but we have little tricks to get him to eat his protein. Like daddy pretending to be a jet. Who knew that the airplane tricked really worked?? Well as long as Colin gets to run in a circle first!
Cannot believe he is almost 3!
