13 months & Story Telling

Today Colin is 13 months old! The last month Colin has been eating so much better and learning lots of new things! I feel we are finally in the "normal" track for a child his age.

Colin will be going into Texas Children's tomorrow for two small procedures, he is getting tubes in his ear and is getting circumcised. We had to wait on the circumcision until after his heart surgeries, then we found out he was getting tubes, we organized the two procedures together so he will only have to go under once. It will be out patient, so we should be home in the afternoon. With both procedures, he is expected to have minimal discomfort.

We had a nice relaxing weekend. Went swimming, played in the back yard, did yard work, and had a picnic on the back patio.

We have come to realize the Katherine will be our sneaky kid we have to keep an eye on. Friday night she got caught drawing on her leg with a sharpie and told us that her friend Jessica "jumped" in the window, drew on her leg, then "jumped" back out the window. After telling her several times to tell the truth, she finally confessed, it was her! Bad for lying, but the kid has an imagination and will try hard to sell her story! Poor Colin, soon it will be.. Colin did it! Which he is no angel either!

Katherine "made" Colin some "Soup". Think he was a little mad when he realized nothing was on the spoon!
