10 Things...

So, nowadays on Facebook, it seems that everyone is writing "Random things about me", so I thought it'd be fun to do a few about Colby!

1. Colby has the most beautiful blue eyes ever. I love them! Everywhere we go, it's the first thing anyone comments on, even complete strangers, but especially little old ladies!

2. Colby is a climber. This is why we call him our "little monkey". He will try to climb onto anywhere he sets his mind to. This includes from his table stool, onto the table, then onto the couch, or even standing on the windowsill!

3. Colby is a big boy... he has always been in the 75th to 90th percentile for his height and weight (even off the charts for height a few times in the past year!) Maybe he'll be over 6 feet tall one day...

4. Colby is a soother junkie. We are trying to break him of this habit and he now gets it only at naptime and bedtime, but it is very difficult!! He would have it all day everyday if we would let him.

5. Colby's idea of dancing is SO adorable! It consists of bouncing up and down or spinning in circles when he hears music, especially Farmer Tad's fridge farm magnet songs!!

6. Colby is going to be a techie of some sort one day, I think. He is interested in anything electronic... Wii remotes, TV remotes, computer keyboard, turning on and off the satellite and TV... and the list goes on!

7. Colby LOVES fruits much more than vegetables. But most of all, he LOVES meat! He would eat all meat for supper if we let him, I'm sure.

8. Colby is starting to "talk" a bit more now... he has surprised us with a small phrase "Daddy go dere" one day! He loves saying "Daddy", "dis" and "dat" as he points to things we describe to him. I love having our daily conversations!

9. Colby likes to take towers apart more than he likes to build them. One day maybe he'll want to actually build instead of tear down!!

10. Colby is loved SO much by his Mommy, Daddy, rest of the family and friends!! He is beginning to "play" with others much better lately, especially Landon (cousin) and Connor (cousin at the dayhome). It's great to see him interacting with other kids so often!!

Just a few things you might have already known or now you do know! Colby is a wonderful little boy and we are so lucky and proud to be his parents!

Hope your March is off to a good start, everyone! Things are very busy right now with report cards and IPP reviews at school, but thankfully, Gerry is helping out around the house a ton and spending lots of time with Colby so I can get work done at home. Thank goodness for a wonderful husband like him!! Take care!
