Collin loves his Stella

Here is Collin confessing his undying love for his oldest doggie, Stella. He can say a number of words now, but one of his greatest accomplishments is commanding his dog Stella. Actually, Stella is MY dog, which I've had for close to six years now. She is an amazing dog, really, and has always been there for me. Now she can be there for Collin. He goes up to her and hugs her neck, then of course, attempts to bop her on the head with a plastic hammer.... so now I'm teaching another wonderful word to Collin.... "GENTLE"

Here is Collin promoting Chick-fil-a

A cow goes... mew??

So my son is now officially talking!!! He can count to TWO!! He also knows his animals. He can tell me how a cow goes, a monkey, a dog, a duck, a fish and occasionally a wolf. Sometimes he is really clear in what he is saying, and others we are stretching it!! He knows "up" and "out" and of course "no."

I will undoubtedly post a few videos of him talking, but here's a picture from when his baby cousin Courtney was born. As usual, he was trying to jump out of his fathers hands. He was about 9 months and we were visiting my sister at the hospital. He was the baby of the family for a matter of months before Courtney took the crown. Maybe thats why he is angry here.
