May. 11 - Walkin' Colin (almost)

The growth spurts of a baby are amazing to watch. They learn and grow at a rapid pace. However, for a couple of weeks there, Colin had a lull in his growth. He stopped gaining weight, he wasn't learning new tricks, and he seemed pretty content with the status quo. He was crawling without issue, his sleep pattern was regular, and he was happy about it. That all changed again about a week and a half ago, and he is on the move again. He is now trying very hard to walk. He will go from couch to chair, or stand un-aided so his hands are free to play with whatever spec of dirt he has just found on the floor. He can't get up on his feet with out the help of a couch or mom's leg, but he tries constantly.

Allison and Colin and I went into Old Navy the other day to look for Colin clothes, and I discovered why there was that lull in his learning and growing. He was transitioning. Colin is no longer able to shop in the baby section, he is wearing toddler clothes, and not the small toddler clothes either! If it isn't rated for 18 months or older, our little man won't fit in it! So, Babies grow fast, toddlers grow faster, and Colin took a little breather in the middle of the two.
