Half Birthday Celebration
Colin,
You are 2 1/2 today!! I can't believe how fast you have grown - you have been with us so long, but it also reminds me how little you really are.
You are a very energetic boy. When you do something, you do it with your whole heart. You jump for joy and are not afraid to express your enthusiasm for life.
Your laugh is passionate. When you laugh, you make everyone around you laugh. People comment on your laugh all the time - when you are jumping in the bouncer at Edinborough Park, or just walking down the street. You laugh with life, love and enthusiasm!
About a year ago, you welcomed Anna to the world. I was so impressed by the way you adjusted. You would walk over to her every time she made a noise, and were so gentle. Over the year, you have become Anna's favourite person. You can make her laugh like no one else can- and that is music to my ears! You are such a good big brother!
Over the past couple of months, you are talking more and more which impresses me to no end. However, it is your physical abilities that impress me the most. I am amazed at how you can kick a soccer ball, shoot a basket and now, ride a tricycle. I have so much fun outside with you playing - can't wait until spring has really arrived!!
Now that you are in your big boy bed, when I put to to bed each night, you always ask me to lie down with you. I usually reply with an "of course", since I know that one day you will be a big big boy and not want to cuddle with me. I have to soak it all up now while I can!
Words cannot express how much you have brought to my life - I adore you!
Love mommy!

A little about us...
People have been asking what we have been up to, so following the format I have seen from some other bloggers that I scan, here is an update.
What is Anna up to? Anna is scooting around like a storm and gets into more stuff than Colin ever did. She is tentative to pull herself up - she reaches out, but then draws away. Once she does pull herself up, she doesn't like to hold on! This is another way that Colin and Anna are so different - Colin had a tight grasp on everything and would not let go until his other hand was firmly attached to something else.
Words in our house? Deric and I are convinced that Anna can say "hi" and "uh oh". She is so smart.... Colin on the other hand is expanding his language every day! He is slowly putting his sentences together. Yesterday I asked him what he wanted to watch on TV and he replied "I waaannt.... Shrek" When asked if he is hungry, he will say "Yes, I want Pancakes and Milk".
Favourite Activities? Colin is loving being outside now that it is getting warmer. He is definitely a warm weather child. He still refuses to step in the snow. Anna on the other hand still loves to follow her brother everywhere. A favourite game is for me to hold Anna and chase Colin around the house. Thank goodness our house has more running room. Anna also loves it when her brother plays peek a boo with her and tickles her toes.
Favourite Foods? Last week Anna devoured Meatloaf and corned beef. She loved them both. She will also eat her veggies if she can pick them up - she refuses any pureed vegetables. Over the weekend, Anna was eating raw summer squash and loving it! Colin is a little more picky, but loves stews, chili and most meats (his favourite is pork and corned beef). Vegetables for Colin are only served pureed style - he loves baby food!!!!

Little Duckie.....
Over the past couple of weeks there is one thing that Colin and Anna can agree upon - the duckies are the favourite toys in the bath tub! They show the duckies how to swim, put them on the edge and watch how they can jump off, read about them in their bath book, count them, and even try to eat them!
Colin last week decided that bath time was not the only place duckies could be played with - why not in the shower!!!! And now what a clean boy we have. Over the weekend (Friday morning - Sunday night), Colin had a total of 3 showers and 3 baths. He loves to take a few of his toys and head to the shower where he plays with the water stream and runs through it.
My little water boy.

Naps are soooo overrated
Over the past week, Anna has off and on but a ban on naps. Today was no different. She decided that there was too much fun going on in the house. She stayed up until 12:30 (incidentally Colin's nap time) to finally nap.
Tonight she was a very tired girl and this is how she fell asleep - does this look comfy or what?!?! My little Princess!
