Outside with Off!

Wouldn't it be great if we could pick and choose which traits of ours we gave our child? I wish Collin had Cas' ability to repel mosquitos rather than my ability to attract them. Now anytime we venture outside, we have to cover him in Off! bug spray (except his hands, we follow the baby rules).

Smiling - and drooling - away in our front yard -
Looking for bugs -

Checking out the neighbors -

My serious boy -

Everyone told us parenthood would get more and more fun, and they were right! Collin is getting more talkative, expressive and aware. We've given him baths in the regular bathtub and he splashes and kicks water everywhere, squealing in delight of both the bathtime fun and hearing his voice echo off the tile. And I think I'm going to have to watch my wardrobe - especially my accessories - for awhile, after he yanked on my necklace and broke the chain. (Of course it was a cheap necklace - he's not ripping through solid gold chains yet.)
