I have been a bad blogger lately. The family has been very busy and Colin has grown a lot. Here are his statistics for his 7 month check up.
weight.. 18 lbs 13 oz. (60%)
height.. 26.5 inches (25%)
Head circumference 45.25 (75%)
He is growing so much. He can roll over now with the best of them and he is almost crawling. He pushes up onto his hands and tip toes and pushes himself backwards. He is also moving in circles and can sit completely on his own. Madison can make him laugh so hard just by kicking a ball or throwing the frisbee. It is so cute to watch. Colin loves watching Aspen and Demon. They put a huge smile on his face! We did the cry it out method with Colin and I really wish we had done it with Madison. It wasn't easy, I think I may have called JR heart less, but it is so much better than fighting with him for the next 3 years like we did with Madison :)
Madison is getting to be such a big girl. She starts her second year of swimming lessons on Wednesday. She has such a big imagination. Right now she is Sleeping Beauty and is going to marry her brother when she gets older. I bought her a Princess Look and Find Book that she has me read every night. If I have to read it one more time I will go crazy, but she enjoys it so much. She also had her first and hopefully last episode of Strep Throat. She was down and out for about two days, but as soon as she got her antibiotics she rebounded extremely fast!!

JR and I have both been busy with work, but I feel like we are finally catching up on projects with the house. Our bathroom is finally done, minus caulking the molding. It looks great, JR did a wonderful job like I knew he would. I would not recommend doing a major remodel like that with a new born baby. It was very stressful!
