Fun at Mimi's House

Had a longer post but it would not save.....so, here is a shortened version:

This afternoon, we went to Mimi's house to play with cousins Timmy and Leah.  Collin and Timmy actually played together most of the time instead of playing side by side or in different rooms.  They played really well together and did not fight...too much.  I heard Collin saying "your not sharing" and Timmy wanted a toy Collin was playing with.  Collin gave it to him and found another toy to play with.  They even ate a snack together in their favorite chairs at Mimi's.  Collin was having so much fun that he did not want to go when it was time to....until I told him we were going to see Saige.  He quickly hugged Timmy, Mimi and Lisa, then headed to the front door.  He even climbed into the car and buckled himself into his new big boy car seat.  I was not moving fast enough for him. 


Here is Leah during tummy time.  She was awake for more than an hour playing with toys in front of her or practicing getting on all fours and then rocking.  She was doing REALLY well.  She was awake the longest I have seen her and I really enjoyed this time with her. 




I hated to cut our visit short but Saige and Linden were waiting for us.  When we arrived, the girls were already outside waiting for us to open the car door.  They were so excited that we were there.  The kids played outside and even got in a small plastic pool filled with water.  Collin thought it was funny that I let him get in with his shorts and underwear on.  After 1 1/2 hours of playing outside, we went in to start winding them down to relax and get ready for bed.  This is when Collin decided he was finally hungry.  He devoured three slices of small pizza and a snack size bag of pretzels before we headed home. 

After reading two books, he was asleep within the third verse of the song on the CD.  Whew!!  I was hoping he would fall asleep quick.  I could use some quit time tonight before going to bed.
