Stephanie aka Steffy aka NeeNee

It's been almost 2 months now that I've been back to work and I realized that I haven't even posted a pic of Colson and Stephanie yet :) Stephanie is Nick's cousin and she watches Colson while I'm at work. Stephanie has a little cousin who dubbed her with the nickname "NeeNee." Well NeeNee deserves a post and props because she is fabulous! Colson loves her and she is so patient with him. When I come home Colson is always clean and so is the house! We heart you Steffy!

We took Colson to his first niner game last Sunday -- well not technically, because Colson and I only stayed for the tailgate :) We had a big group all come out for a game in memory of Bob, Nick's dad. Nick will continue the season tickets, his dad was a season ticket holder and his dad's dad was a season ticket holder ... so Colson is fourth generation niner!

Since starting solid foods, I've tried my hand at making baby food for Colson ... pretty easy actually and economical since pre-made baby food can be 50 cents to a dollar a jar. Especially when I'm already making dinner - just throw another pot on, steam, puree, freeze! I found these cheap (and cute!) ice cube trays at ikea. And then use my handy Braun hand blender that was a gift years ago, but it's come in really handy now.

Carrots, sweet potato, green beans, and papaya:

halloween

On Halloween, we dressed Colson up in the monkey outfit and made a few stops bebe's, grammy Lynda's, GPs and Kenny&Laura's, then back in time for bedtime ... I'm sure next sure will be more exciting for him since he'll actually be able to eat the candy:) Earlier in the week we went to our mommy playgroup and all the kiddos were in their halloween gear :)

BOO!

Colson's first kiss :)

Since I've been back to work, we haven't been seeing Julie and her daughter Monroe as often as we used to, so last week we got the kids together for some playtime.

Monroe: "do you like my new cheetah print fleece onsie?"

Colson: "definitely. it brings out the blue in your eyes ..."

Monroe: "hello! I'm talking to you"

Colson: "huh? what's going on"

Colson: "I'm gettin tired and my belly is in the way, so I'm just gonna lay down right here."

Monroe: "ok, pucker up!"

Colson: "huh? what's going on"

Mwah!! Colson: "huh? what's going on"
