Though Collin has a lot of his dad's features, we know he has my blood . . . unfortunately for him that blood is attractive to mosquitoes. Here's what I returned home to see -

Do you see all the mosquitoes bites on my poor baby's forehead? There were 7 bites. Cas had him outside in the stroller one night when our electricity was out, and because the mosquitoes weren't biting Cas, he didn't realize his son was being eaten alive inside the cocoon of his stroller.
Collin doesn't seem to be too upset by the bites. Here he is laughing away with Grandma Libia -

After his bath, Collin got to wear his dinosaur robe.

And to further his dinosaur interpretation, he had to move around on his hands and knees.

He's finally started to put crawling together and can now get any toy that catches his eye. Unfortunately, it's rarely a toy that he's after - normally it's my cell phone or an open glass of water or a shoe. He's surrounded by toys but always wants the one thing he's not supposed to put in his mouth.
My brother Alex was very interested in dinosaurs when he was young. I remember him telling adults he wanted to be a paleontologist and some of them didn't know what he was talking about! His girlfriend Coady gifted Collin with this wonderful children's book called Dinosaurs Roar. Between the dinosaur robe and rhyming book of dinosaur opposites, we'll see if paleontologist will be on Collin's future occupations list as well.
