Two Greats

For most of the day today, Collin and I hung out with Collin's great aunt Nancy and great grandma Austine. Nancy was in town from Colorado and had not seen Collin since Thanksgiving so she really enjoyed spending time with him. While we were there, Collin was hungry twice and she got to feed him a bottle both times. She was new to this and had a lot to learn. If there is a lot of stimulus, Collin moves his head a lot when he is eating. It takes practice but you have to move the bottle with his head or it comes out of his mouth. I think Collin knew that Nancy was new to this and possibly was testing her. He moved his head a few times and she had to keep putting the bottle back in. Between eating, Collin did some tummy time and laid on his back to play with his feet. He was not interested in napping at all.....especially when Mimi arrived later that afternoon. Grandma Austine got on the floor and tried to demonstrate to Collin how to kick his feet up in the air. It was hilarious because my 70+ year old grandmother was on her back on the floor, kicking like she was riding a bicycle and talking about stem cell research and then when she was a kid growing up on the ranch. I have no idea where this came from but Collin was mesmerized by what she was doing and that kept him entertained for awhile.

We went to eat later that evening and then Collin and I came home so he could eat his rice cereal, get a bath, read some books together and go to bed. Last night and tonight, he has been going to sleep with Frank Sinatra playing in the background.....music that his great grandpa Hollis Collins liked to listen to.
