This past Friday I took Colin in for his 2 year check up. He barely gained any weight this year and weighs 26lbs (just barely) and is just shy of 36inches. Which is pretty amazing since at 8 weeks he weighted 12lbs. So he is extremely tall for his age but very skinny. He is not even in the 25% for weight and over the 75% for height. Which means the basketball scholarship is looking great right now! he loves to go "plain" which means no shirt - or no shoes. "Colin do you want to put your shoes on?" "no PLAIN" so getting dressed is interesting sometimes. He also started calling me mom - MOM. I figured mama would lead into mommy and then when he got too cool to call me mommy it would turn into mom - maybe in 5th or 6th grade maybe. But nope he's already started calling me mom. Its sad watching him grow up. But fun at the same time too. yesterday we made a fort out of the couch cushions and played it in forever.
We also just got back from Busch Gardens. He kept asking about the train so he slept until 8am - AMAZING since this is the kid who wakes up at 5 or 6 most mornings. So to celebrate and also get more time in at Busch we went this morning. Along with everyone else it seemed. It took us forever to get into the park but once we were there we didn't have to wait long on the kid rides. He's getting so big too since at the beginning of the summer he didn't want to ride any of the kiddie rides. Today he rode a few. And so proud of himself. Some of them I could ride with him but he really liked riding the ones by himself. ME is what he kept saying telling me he wanted to ride some by himself. We rode the train but they stopped halfway and said it would be delayed for them to get some emergency vehicles into the park so we got off and rode the skyride instead. Here is Colin riding the bug ride and the picture below is on the skyride. He is now sleeping and I think I'm going to go nap too. Its much easier to go to Busch Gardens with Brent with us. Hopefully next time he can come too! Colin already picked where he wanted Dada (Brents still dada - no fair!) to sit on the skyride.
