Lately, Colin has been making the funniest face. He squints his eyes, scrunches up his nose and moves his jaw back and forth. I call him my little "Stevie Wonder" when he does it. He was playing in his exersaucer and we were laughing and he kept making the "Stevie Wonder" face and I actually got it on camera. 
So I've kept all of Colin's pictures on my camera. We had "emptied" it shortly before we had Colin so the first picture on it was me lying on the hospital bed. A couple weeks ago with over 1400 (large filed) pictures, it finally said I was out of space. I started burning the pictures onto CDs month-by-month, so I could finally "empty" my camera out again. Tonight I uploaded all of my pictures and burnt July's pictures onto a CD. After making sure the CD burnt correctly, I finally hit the dreaded "delete all" button on my camera.
Fast forward a few hours to me uploading some pictures onto Shutterfly as I remember I haven't sent out pictures in quite some time. I am missing all the pictures I took today of Colin eating green beans and him using his new bathtub!!! :( I'm super bummed. I know it could be alot worse and I could be missing so many more precious pictures that I can never get back but it's still frustrating. I'm still hoping I can find them again somewhere on this computer since Mike and I both looked and I red-eyed them but I doubt it will happen :(

I've been slacking at blogging lately. I finally just posted Colin's 6 month letter - only almost a week late. I'm going to try to be better about it.
Colin ate "real" food today. He had Carrots and boy did he looooooooove them. So much so that he would cry whenever the spoon was not in his mouth. Mike said he is definitely our child with his love for food.
He seems to have gone through another growth spurt recently. He seems incredibly long again and lost some of his chunky thighs.
He is really start to move. He gets up me all 4s and rocks around but usually ends up falling over and just rolls or pulls himself to where he wants to go. Although, our living room isn't huge by any means, he can easily move from one end to the other within a few minutes. I'm so not ready for this yet -- nor is the house. Guess that will probably be a duty I work on while I'm on a little mini vacation from work.
Yes, that is correct. I'm off work until Friday, August 15. YAY!! I have to go to a long manager off property lunch meeting on Thursday that I have to take Colin to. I'm sure he'll love sitting in a restaurant for a few hours during his nap time. I'm hoping it will be cancelled. Other than that, I'm free from work for over a week! I can't explain how necessary this is for me. I'm excited. It should be a fun week or so filled with family, trips up north, and NO WORKING :)
One quick video of Mike greeting Colin when he got home from work. He was laughing so hard and then kind of calmed down when he saw me taping.

Dear Colin,
Today is your half birthday little man. Someday you will find half birthdays an exciting day where you will proudly proclaim that you are now "___ AND HALF YEARS OLD!!!!!" Until that day, it will just be an exciting day for me and your dad.
I think I mention this on each of my letters but I have such a hard time believing that you have been in my life for a half of a year now. It seems like a life time ago that I was lying in the hospital in labor just praying for you to get the heck out of me and finally meet your mommy and daddy. I had no clue how much you would change my entire life.
You spent your half birthday playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house with Ethan and Micah. You must have known it was a special day because like on the 4th of July and your Baptism party, you decided to go napless just so you wouldn't miss out on anything exciting. It was a fun day though. Ethan and Micah made you birthday cards and we sang Happy Birthday. It was too darn hot to bake you a cake, so we made chocolate pudding with whip cream and sprinkles and put a big candle it.
Your personality is really starting to come out. You get mad when you throw your toys off your exersaucer. You squeal with delight when daddy walks in the front door. You squint your eyes when we play peak-a-boo and open them widely when I come "back" out. You love to flirt and everyone says you are a little charmer. We call you a goofball so many times a day that I'm afraid you might think that is your name. You get angry when you eat and can't hold the spoon yourself. You are Mr. Independence lately.
Every night before daddy and I go to bed, we quietly walk into your room to get one last glimpse of you. It has quickly begun one of our favorite moments of the day. As we enter the room, we can hardly wait to see what odd position we will find you in. One night, you may have your face buried into the bumper pad while another night, we may find your tushy high up in the air. Our favorite was when you looked like you fell asleep while trying to escape from you bed.
Mostly though, we just enjoy watching our little miracle sleep, dream and grow into the most amazing little boy.
Love always,
Mommy

As I'm sure you've noticed that I have a new layout and no (Mike) that isn't me shitting on the toilet with my socks and heels on. I haven't figured out how to remove that photo yet.
Enjoy the prettiness!
