What a Weekend!

After arriving at Grandma H's Friday morning, Collin received his first official hair cut from Grandma H. She has been wanting to do this for a few months now. At first, Collin sat still and was not too wiggly. Then, he wanted to see the scissors and to see what she was doing with them. He started to arch his back a little as he squirmed but she still managed to cut his hair. Daddy was watching and taking the pictures to make sure that she cut his hair in the style that he wanted. We left the back still long and cut the rest shorter to keep it out of his eyes. Daddy and I got ready to leave for the day. Grandma H kept Collin but not in the house. She had to get out to show him off to her coworkers and friends. She said he did really good but would not eat much. He had a bad cough when we arrived and he was possibly teething so I was not too surprised. That night, Daddy and I went out for his 20-year high school reunion. We started at the high school football game and then ended up at a local bar where the others where waiting. He had a good time reconnecting with a few people he had not seen in awhile. We left around 11pm because we knew we were getting up by 6:30am to drive back home.

The next day after driving home, I stayed home with Collin while Daddy went to work. Before he left though, we "walked" Collin so he could stretch his legs out after being in the car for over 4 hours. Earlier that week, I had Collin help me get the mail by pushing his truck to the mail box, I then loaded it with the mail and then he pushed it back to the house. He did not go directly back to our house. He had to stop by Ella's first but was too shy to knock on the door so he decided he wanted to play in her front yard first.

Later that afternoon, I dropped Collin off at Mimi's because Daddy and I had a date that night. His birthday was Friday night but we did not get to celebrate due to his reunion. Saturday night, we met with Stephanie and Tommy for dinner at Salt Grass Steakhouse before going to a comedy performance. We both needed the laughter since it had been a long weekend so far and we still had Sunday which was going to be a long day.

Here is a picture of Collin FINALLY taking a nap while waiting for Mimi.

The next morning was the big bike shop race. We left the house at 4:45am to set up for the race. We finally got back home after the race after2:30pm to take a nap before meeting Mimi to pick Collin back up. We then went to Saige's house for her daddy's birthday dinner. Saige must have worn herself out from excitement about Collin coming over because she was asleep by the time we got there around 7pm. Collin showed off his new skill of taking a few steps and standing on his own. He also had to show Saige's mom were her belly button was. I am glad I warned her that he might lift her shirt up only 5 minutes before he did it. He amused himself by walking along the couch to look at her belly button, laugh, and then walk along the couch back to me.
