Go Titans!

Colin is all ready for the Titans game. But evidently I was not. He sported his Titans clothing yesterday, because Mommy was too stupid to realize that they didn't play until today. Oops!

He just in the past two weeks he has started grabbing at everything. Reaching out and exploring faces and animals and even trying to grab the food off our plate.

Speaking of food - I feel like I keep drawing the short stick. Cereal/solids and sleeping through the night are suppose to go hand in hand. Yeah...myth. At least in my house. If something is supposed to make my life easier, it won't happen. I am starting to accept that. I just thought I would get some kind of break after the first 11 weeks of caring for a colicky newborn.

Oasis of the Seas

Yes, I am talking about the GIANT ship that Royal Caribbean built. I have been looking at pictures of it online. If you are interested in it at all, check out my Dad's website Cruise Notes to see live footage and pictures. He doesn't leave for his cruise on it for another two weeks, but the guy running the website with him is already on it and providing a lot of stuff to look at: video and pictures.

I can't wait to hear all about it.

I saw that it had a place called The Cupcake Cupboard - count me in.

Too early??

Is it too early for a Christmas background??

I mean, I can't put up my tree yet, so isn't it fair I get to put this up?

Trying out some video

I have seen people upload videos, and I wanted to try. We got a new camera a few months back. This video is about 2 months old, but I don't think I talk in it so you can't hear my voice, which is why I am posting it to try out. =)

Shopping is done

Except for a few gift cards I need to pick up, my shopping is done. I did most of it through the Internet which made it easy. I have especially loved shopping for Colin. I can't wait until next Christmas when he is a little older and the toys are more fun for us to play with too. I have already been told that when he gets a Nerf gun for Christmas, Andrew is expecting one also.

Out of the toys I bought him, I already found my favorite. I hope he likes it as much as I do. His name is Scout and he is a LeapFrog toy. He learns your child's name and each paw does something different when it is pressed. The bottom right paw, he turns on. The top right paw plays happy/awake songs and music (think Mary Had a Little Lamb and The Muffin Man). The top left paw plays games - you program him to know your child's favorite color and food along with their name. Right now I said Colin's favorites are applesauce and the color blue. It will play "games" with him and teach him animal sounds. The bottom left paw I LOVE - it plays bedtime music. When I squeeze it it say, "2 minutes of bedtime music. Snuggle up Colin!"

If he doesn't like it, I might have to program it to say my name...b/c I played with it all last Thursday night. They have a girl one named Violet and I bet she is just as cute when she talks.
