Mike is working a back-to-back, so are staying at the hotel tonight. Colin is finally fast asleep in the room next door. He had a busy day of swimming lessons, an Easter Egg hunt, meeting the Easter Bunny and some weird duck thing. We ran some errands and he spent a few hours at Grandma and Grandpa's while Mommy ran a few errands. He skipped a nap and instead of going to bed early, he apparently wanted to stay up and watch MSU beat UConn! I'm sitting here praying the people across the hall will finally be quiet because I will be ticked if they wake C up. So as I wait for Mike's shift to end, I might as well be productive and post some more of the pictures from Thursday's visit to the FMG.

I love how sweet this picture is!

I adore this picture!

all boy. already loves dirt.

He loves the empowerment of opening and closing doors himself. He loved this little Colin size door.

Where's Colin?

... ear infection.

Colin was playing with his left ear the other day. Mike thought it was because he has a fascination lately with putting his fingers in open body parts (belly buttons, nostrils, etc). I took him to the Dr today just to be safe since he woke up crying twice yesterday and that is so atypical of Colin. The Dr confirmed what I suspected - an ear infection. Poor lil guy. Here's the amoxicillin working quickly.

Sidenote: fully dressed with his sneaks on, he weighed 27 lbs!!!

Mike and I had the day off today and since it was nice outside, we decided to go back to FMG. We took over 100 pictures and while I'd love to show all (or even a fraction) of them, I'll leave most of them for another day. Tonight I just want to show this cute series of pictures. It all started with this little guy.
Colin just needed him. So the chase was on ...

getting a little closer....

Good try Colin. Someday you'll realize, you'll never catch those darn birdies but thanks for the smiles and laughs of the chase.

I forgot last week so two pictures.
Since I already broke the 'wordless' portion, I might as explain this one - this is how Mike found Colin the other day.
