I haven't forgot you blog. I was a little nervous about having two blogs that one would get neglected and it appears this one is .. a little. I've been trying really hard to capture a picture each day and I'm proud that I've kept it up so far. We'll see where I'm at in March or July or November :) I do hope I can keep up with it though. I think it's something that will be incredibly special years from now.

Works been busy for both Mike and I, especially Mike. He's still putting in alot of loooong hours each day but instead of complaining we are both just blessed that in this terrible economy we both have jobs. There are potentially big changes down the road with his job and while I'm not at a point where I can share that information, we ask for your prayers that the right decisions are made.

Colin is still wonderful talkative crazy Colin. I can hardly believe he's going to be 2 next week. On one hand, I can't believe he's already going to be 2! On the other hand, I can't believe he's only going to be 2! More on that in his 24 Month Birthday post.

He's good though. He's still obsessed with Curious George on PBS. He can not get enough of it. We have several on the DVR and although he watches the same ones over and over, he still absolutely adores it. With the exception of the occasional Sesame Street, it's the only show he watches on TV.

He still takes 1 nap a day, around 12:30/1pm that lasts anywhere from 2-3 1/2 hours unless he's at daycare then it's significantly less. He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm and sleeps until 7-8am. Depending on the brand, he typically wears 2T shirts and 18 month pants. He has both of our genes with short legs :) He goes to the Dr on Feb 5 but I'm guessing he's about 3 feet now and probably 31-32 lbs.

He's delightfully sweet and silly. He's amazingly smart and talkative. The perfect blend of both Mike and myself but still uniquely just Colin.

Videos

I've been a video taping fool lately but can't seem to get the good stuff on camera.

Video One: Colin was excitedly talking about school and how Jonah got an owie and cried and then was HAPPY! but decided to eat non-stop while trying to tape this video.


Video Two: We've been saying "Thank You Prayers" after dinner. It always starts the same "God, Thank You for food. Thank you for Daddy, Mommy and Colin and..." and then we let Colin think of things to say. It's been pretty cute and since the camera was out, I tried taping it. He was quite distracted but remember I can't seem to get the good stuff on camera.
Project 365 is going private. I want to feel comforatble sharing life but for privacy and safety reasons, I feel I can do that better if it wasn't able to everyone. If you are interested in still viewing the blog, please leave a comment below or shoot me an email with your email address. Be sure to leave your email address if I don't know it.

Bedtime

Colin loves getting ready for bed ... well the bathroom portion of it. He loves brushing his teeth, his stool, washing his hands, everything.

Project 365

So I'm attempting to start a new project. Additional details can be found at http://ourlilcorneroftheworld365.blogspot.com/ . I was inspired by http://turner365.blogspot.com/ and while I will not be stamping days of the weeks or creating a real scrapbook out of it, I loved the idea. If I complete the project, I am hoping to make a big photobook out of it.

Progress update: So I'm 8 days into it and have skipped 2 days. Of course, I skipped Jan 1, so I'm brain storming what I should do in its place so I can post what I have completed so far. Look for new pictures hopefully soon.

I figured maybe I should explain this a little. It starts with Colin trying to wink and then goes into a whole bunch of randomness.
