Colors

This video is 3 months old now, but here is Colin after he first learned all his colors, just about a month before he turned 2. We were (and still are) so proud of him! He now knows these colors as well as pink, brown, maroon and gray.

Gramma's Boy


Believe it or not, this outfit was bought almost 3 years ago. Gramma bought it while I was pregnant with Colin, but Colin never had the opportunity to wear it, due to sizing and weather conditions not matching up. So, I pulled it out and put it on the newest Baker boy the other day, just in time for Gramma to see him in it. Handsome, isnt' he? And look how well that 5 month old is standing!

Big Things for a Little Kid...

Colin has had quite a few new exciting things happen lately.

On Saturday we bought him his first Bible, I'm excited to share that with him, which we will do tomorrow.

We are starting a homeschooling program tomorrow, which includes a daily Bible lesson. Starting with Jonah and the whale.

Also on Saturday we switched his bed to a toddler bed and bought him all new Elmo sheets and a big kid pillow. We did this while he was with Gramma and Grandpa, whom he still stays with every Saturday night. So when he got home on Sunday, just in time for nap, he got a bit of a surprise! We also placed his Elmo doll in the bed and he wrapped his arms around him and snuggled up.


That first time, he got out of bed about 3 or 4 times, banged on his door, and cried some, but eventually went to sleep. That night he only got out of bed once or twice and slept the whole night through. Tonight, his second night in the bed, he didn't get up at all. We are so unbelievably proud of our little man!

He's getting one more BIG surprise on Wednesday, stay tuned for details on that! hehe
