I couldn't believe it, I was changing Bud's diaper yesterday and gave him two beanie giraffes to play with. They are different sizes so I pointed that out to him, and he started reading his "Opposites" book from memory! He said, big-little, up-down, in-out, fast-slow! He says most of the words when we flip through the book, too, but this was the first time he did it without looking at the book. I was so amazed!
I was home for the afternoon yesterday because Ben is not feeling well, we think it's the flu. He took a 2 hour nap and felt better so he went out to shovel the 3 inches of powder we got yesterday. Bud and I bundled up to go out and watch him and Bud loved it! I think he was just glad to be out of the house but he also had fun watching the birds fly around. When I went in the house to put the camera and mail away he started cyring; he wasn't ready to go in! We took some pictures of him and I hope to get them developed tomorrow so they'll probably be online Monday.

Today is Colin's first birthday and we celebrated over the weekend at our house. Colin and Bud had a good time opening the presents and eating cake & ice cream. It's so hard to believe Colin is a year old! And it's hard to believe Bud is 17 months old.
He's starting to put three words together now. The first time he said, "Ty-Ty (Colin), buddy, fun." And he has said, "Outside, cold, brrr." He has also learned how to make himself dizzy by spinning around, he's quite the show-off. He loves learning new words and will say the word over and over until he pronounces it fairly well. He watches Seasame Street and his favorite character is Big Bird. When I tell him we're going downstairs he says, "Big Bird, tv." But I have to explain that Big Bird isn't on during prime time. I'm going to see if the library has any Seasame Street videos that we can watch together. Yesterday BV and Bud went to the grocery store and when they pulled into the parking lot Bud said, "Pat, hi." The clerk that works regulary is named Pat. He's always surprising us!
