random weekday pics

One downside of daycare that my mom friends have warned me about is constant illness.. not always on the part of the babies, but the parents too. This may be why I came down with a stomach bug on Sunday for the first time in about ten years (it could also have been some suspect sushi I had over the weekend, but given my love affair with sushi, we're going with a daycare virus). It worked out okay though; since I was trapped at an all-weekend trial bootcamp I didn't get to spend any time with Colin this weekend, so, when I was feeling better yesterday I busted him out of baby jail early and we had a fun afternoon together. Some random pictures of our activities:


Colin has finally figured out how to play with one of the toys on his exersaucer - he loves spinning the chickens around and around. It's the only one he plays with so far, but it's progress.



he's also figured out how to sit in the Bumbo without throwing up or crying. Which is a bonus.


he's been chewing on anything and everything he can get his mouth on. These are his feet in his mouth.

Since he seemed hungry enough to want to eat his smelly feet (how do baby feet get smelly? it's not like they wear sneakers or something...), I thought I'd give the cereal another shot. It was another FAIL.

Then dad came home. Since I didn't have the energy for a walk, he decided to forego the stroller and strapped Colin on for a walk around the 'hood. In a hood. So cute. He refused to take Truman on a leash. But I tried.

Good news is that at least for today, we're all healthy and back to school and work like normal.
