Interesting title!? A lot has been going on in the past few weeks, which explains my very delayed post!! Colby has been doing so many fun things... we love it! He never ceases to amaze us with things that he can do. He is beginning to drink out of a regular glass and hold it on his own. This usually ends up with a lot of water being spilled, but he wants to do it on his own! His walking is coming... he still takes between 5-8 steps at a time, and then drops down to crawl. I love the first stepping stage... arms straight out, kind of wobbly... so cute!! His personality is sure coming out more and more... looks like he's going to be as persistant and stubborn as his mom! Yikes! :) Colby had his first Halloween and dressed up as a bear. Daddy was convinced that he was a very scary grizzly bear, but Mommy thought he looked more like a big, cuddly teddy bear! Very cute... very late night with a party at Auntie Jen and Uncle Dave's house after visiting a few houses! Whew! Last week, Colby had another check-up with the pediatrician, who brought us great news.... Colby is all healed!!! There is some scar tissue left, but the body will slowly take care of that, so he finished his latest course of antibiotics and he's all done now!! Such a relief! Just as we got that great news, he picked up my stomach flu that I had early last week. I was even home sick from school on Monday and Tuesday with it. Not surprising since I can't remember the last time I had a full class at school... TONS of kids sick these days! Darn flu!! He had to stay home from the dayhome on Wednesday, so luckily Auntie Colleen came to the rescue and watched him all day. I think she had fun!! He's been feeling much better lately, which is great. The flu went right through our house, as Gerry was home sick from work on Thursday and Friday. So needless to say, not a fun week in our house!! :( Two more teeth cut through on the bottom, so now he's up to 8. I love his smile as the teeth begin to come down even more from the top gums! :) Colby turned 11 months yesterday (Friday, Nov. 7) so the planning has begun for the big birthday party next month! Wow, birthday, Christmas... December's going to be a busy month for us!! We continue to wait for the arrival of our newest niece/nephew... that baby isn't wanting to come out and meet the world yet!! My older sister, Jody, was due last weekend on November 1st. So we're anxiously awaiting!!! :) I'm really going to try to post on a more regular basis! Between school and home, there's not a lot of free time in my world these days! Take care!
Gerry, Lesley, and Colby
