Modeling

Alyssa needed a model for her photography class and ask us if we would help her out. These are some of the pics. She does a really good job and is even going to State for photography sometime this spring.

Smartie Pants

Colter has really impressed me with all the things he has learned in the last few months. Some of my favorites are spelling his name (he forgets his L about half the time), counting to 10, telling me what all the animals say, using the potty, and singing songs; I'll sing part of a song and let him fill in the blanks. He will sing the Mickey Mouse clubhouse song, twinkle twinkle, and he sings Jesus wants me for a Sunbeem and jumps at all the appropriate parts. It's hilarious. I'll have to try and get a recording of it.
It's funny to see how he thinks and his problem solving. Here is an example. The other day we were sitting down and his ball pop toy was switched off. He went in the other room and got batteries and pliers because he thought that the batteries must be dead. We were like yep those are batteries, until we watched him try and put the pliers in the holes for the screws, and shove the batteries the holes.
I think with as smart as he is, its only a matter of time until all my child proofing is for naught. He has already figured out how to get the yard stick I put through the drawers out so he can get a rag. I have also seen him eyeballing the lock button on the fridge. I just cross my fingers that by the time he can reach it he outgrows the desire to dump water all over my floors. Oh well...
