I have finished most of my shopping for Colin's Christmas and birthday presents. Of course I realize he won't remember, but I've gotten him a few things that I think he'll enjoy over the next year:
A radio flyer wagon...I think this will be great to have for trips to the beach next year. ( thanks Grandpa Marc for this one)
Melissa and Doug wooden tool box set- to help Daddy.
Melissa and Doug cardboard alphabet nesting blocks
A tumblekins car
A step stool that spells out his name in wooden block letters that can be removed ( I remember having one when I was a little girl). I think this will be a nice way for Colin to learn how to spell his name and great for when he starts standing to climb up to brush his teeth.
A ball pit to play in....his friend Kyler has one that he played in and he loved it.
Still on the wish list...A push walker.
Colin is not walking yet, but he HAS in the past week started to stand unassisted. It only happens for 3-5 seconds, but it is progress! I'm assuming standing is the precursor to walking, but I don't know if Colin will be walking by his 1st birthday, which is 2 short weeks away!!
I've been busy planning his party, I hope it is a fun day to remember!
Another new thing is Colin now says "mama". A week or so ago we were at Pottery Barn and I was distracted talking to the sales lady, Colin was fussing in his stroller and since I was distracted I didn't tend to him right away...well he decided to get my attention by shouting a very clear "MAMA!" boy did that get my attention! Since then, he now babbles mama quite often, it is nice to hear!
