Suit Torture

Today I took Collin to my friend Christy's house to get his 3 month-old pictures taken (he's actually closer to being 4 months-old now, but with the holidays, etc., we did the best we could). Anyway, he was fairly cooperative, and we got a few good shots. Until...

I brought along a suit that my friend Alyssa sent as a gift. I thought it might be fun to try and get a few pictures with him all dressed-up. Well, as anticipated, he didn't like it at all, and started to scream his head off. Oh well... we tried.

I decided to leave the suit on him for the ride home, and when he woke up from his nap, I thought I would try to take a few pictures of him myself. Here are a few favorite shots.
This shot shows what he really thought of his suit, and the torture of mommy taking his picture.
Oh the thumb! His thumb is like his coping mechanism. When he gets it in his mouth, his eyes roll back in his head in satisfaction. Poor baby!Here are just a few more random shots of Collin from the past week.
In his Bumbo (he hasn't decided if he likes it yet):Here he is in his new walker. We thought that a walker would work in this house because there is no basement (hence, no stairs going down from the main floor). Also, we have a very long kitchen which will be great for him to scoot across.Here's Tim reading to him:
Overall, Collin continues to do well. He seems to be teething a lot, which includes much drool and attempts at shoving as much of his hand in his mouth as possible. I took Collin to be weighed three days ago, and he was 16 lbs., 6oz. Just huge!! He is already wearing size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. What a big boy!

He is starting to favor his big sister I think! They change so much, so fast. I can't believe that Elijah will be 14 months old next week! Crazy...keep up the good work Mommy! :)

In his suit he looks like a preacher. He appears to be ready to extend an altar call:). Cute!
