It's been awhile

I haven't posted anything for you in quite some time, but I'm here to catch you up!Mama and I took a trip to Maine and I have lots of pictures to post for you. Here is one of me on my very first 4-wheeler ride with Bumpa..... Mama took me for a ride first because I was a little hesitant to let Bumpa be the one to "break me in"......

Here I am with Sheldon..... I started this off, as you'll see in the next picture... It took a little while to convince Sheldon to come play, but once he did he couldn't keep his hands out of the bucket!

Splash!!!!! Mama took a great picture of me splashing water out of this bucket. I was really trying to get her wet, I just couldn't get the distance I was hoping for. Instead, I got soaked!

Peek-a-boo, I see you.... Everything looks so much different from upside down! Hey Nana, look over here!!! Don't I look silly?

Blueberry Jam anyone? This was a great way to start off my first morning in Maine. Nana made me some Canadian white bread toast with yummy blueberry jam..... Yes, I did taste it. I know, I'm a little messy, but it was so good I couldn't slow down!

Ketchup, guitars and tractors.......

Mama ordered up some pasta with marinara...... I was diggin the ketchup instead. Go figure, right?

Tasty fries and KETCHUP!!!! Don't ask if any got in my mouth...... Hard telling from the look of it, right?

I love, love, love GUITARS! Mama bought me this fantastic Gabba Gabba guitar. She told me to give her my best rock star grrrrr face. What do you think? Needs more work?

Future John Deere owner, I am! Mama said I need to practice with this one before I get one with a motor....... But watch out! I've almost mastered this one already.....

Yaaaay!!!!!!!!!! Chucke Cheeeeeeese!

Mama took my friend Megan and I to Chucke Cheese..... It was sooooo much fun!
Megan helped me at skee ball..... She told me that because I was so little I could walk right up the ramp and throw the ball in the hole that way.... I got 8 tickets!

Then Megan played bus driver and we went for a ride..... Good thing we didn't crash because she barely looked ahead.

Weeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I absolutely love slides.... This one was a lot of fun, but my shoes prevented me from getting the speed I was looking for.... Maybe next time I'll wear pants and socks. That oughtta get me about 10 more horse power!

There were kids crawling through tubes on the ceiling!

Boo Mama! I kept trying to scare her, but she always knew where I was going to be.... And silly her, she was ALWAYS waiting with the camera....

Loving some Mama :o)

Sometimes you just have to take time out of your day to love your Mom....... Loving Mama always puts a smile on my face. She tells me I'm so cuddly and hugable.... (Don't tell anyone, but I think the same about her!)

Random Pics

This is what Mom likes to call the "What up Shorty" pic...... I was really dancing to some Boom Boom Pow, but ended up looking pretty ganster.....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Mom was taking pictures of me outside. As you can see I was having a blast....

Ladies, please take a number.

I love you...... To everyone that has visited my blog, thank you so much for taking time to stop by for a visit.

Visit to Grammie & Pop Pop's

I love these little guys. They are all over Pop Pop's garden. Some are bigger than this but I like the little guys the best. Pop Pop says they help protect his flowers from the evil flower eatting deer monsters that come at night. From the look of some of his flowers I think the Garden Nome's need to step their game up, as you can see these little fellas are all lounging about. Get back to work guys Pop Pop's flowers are depending on you!
Oh boy! My two favorite things to do in the house are help Grammie sweep the floor and help Pop Pop wind his big clock. as you can see I was doing a little of both on this visit. Now if I could just reach that key.
Look, there they are, the deer monsters, but they don't look very frightening at all. Come on Garden Nome's get it together, start doing your job or Pop Pop might have to hire me to take care of those spotted deer monsters

Trip to the Pax River Playground with Dad

Let the journey begin! Off to conquer the Jungle Gym.My fellow toddlers, here before us stands one of the grandest peaks in all the world. I am here today to best this beast and reach it's peak and return before night fall. Wish me luck and God bless you all!
I am off on my journey and just seconds in I come to the perilless suspended bridge crossing. I have crossed bridges like this before but none as difficult as this one. One wrong step, and well you know the rest.

Man this is crazy! I am really watching my step as the bridge sways in the wind and each step is a balancing act. I really hope those support chains hold, I better get a move on just in case they give way. I don't want another repeat of my last bridge crossing where I almost fell but I was able to climb my way to safety.
Yippie swings! Had to take a break from the expedition and take in a little fun. The swings were not that far off the path and I can make up the time. So I had to indulge.

Trip to Pax River Playground with Dad continued

I love the swing and Daddy really knows how to give a good push. I was pretending I was on a roller coaster and would put my hands up just before swinging down. This gave a really cool feeling and I just had to smile big for Daddy. We had lots of fun.

Back on track to the summit. I even went through the tube on the way to the top. They say this was uncharted territory here, well at least for me, I usually take the easier route because I never have liked the tube route. Today, Daddy was with me and I felt safe and wanted a challenge so I took it on and went through. It wasn't that bad after all and saved me time in reaching the peak.I am Collin, King of the Jungle Gym! I exclaimed this once I reached the top and felt like I was above all else. Oh by the way look how beautiful that sky looks above. I hope it is this beautiful when I conquer Mt. Everest. I figure this was some good training for Everest. So I think I'll be ready to go in a few years, maybe I will wait until 4. In the meantime I will warm up with easy climbs like Mt. Katahdin in Maine.Me after a big jump. I was just coming down. I was excited about my accomplishment and just had to jump around a little.
After my summit I had to stop at the bottom so Daddy could remove the rocks from my shoes. I guess I should have left my Stride Rite sandals in the bag for this trip and went with the Stride Rite climbing shoes. Oh well, either way, I did it and it was a huge success.

Trip to Dixon Park

Better late than never! Mom finally posted the pictures from my trip to Dixon Park. The sun was shining, the water was refreshing, and I was ready to have a great time!
This place was sooooo awesome! I played in the water forever....

I kept trying to take the water out of the pool. Someone kept putting it back..... Not fair!

I have this new enfatuation with my belly button..... It's like a security blanket... It goes with me everywhere I go. And when I don't feel 100% about something I just reach down for some reassurance. Mommy doesn't seem to like it. She's always telling me to leave it alone. Could it be because I've made it red and irritated at this point?

Trip to Belvedere Plantation for Strawberries

Mommy took me to Belvere Plantation with Megan and her Mom. When we got there we were greeted by this giant farmer..... I couldn't wait to get inside and see what this place was all about!

Wow! Look at all the strawberries Megan and Mommy picked! I wasn't feeling it too much, so Megan's mom watched me for a little bit. I tried a few strawberries, but I think I like apples better. Maybe they'll grow on me.

Photo Op! Everybody say cheeeeeeeeeese!

We couldn't pass by the goats and not say hi. I wasn't too crazy about these guys either. Whenever they touched my hand I started to fuss a little.

WOW!!!!! Look at this TRACTOR! I'm all boy.... Some of my favorites are BUS, TRACTOR, PLANE, CAR, TRUCK........ and this was one of the best parts of our whole trip. Thank you Mama.....

Pics of me from May

This is Phoebe.... She's my bestest furry friend ever.... Every morning when I wake up I look at Mommy and say "Phoebe?" and Mommy tells me "Shhh, Phoebe's sleeping".... Don't let her fool you, she's quite the little devil!

Here is a picture of Phoebe and me terrorizing Mom. She thought it was funny until Phoebe was trying to give her a haircut!.... with her teeth.

I'm learning how to multi-task early on. I was getting ready to color AND giving Phoebe her doggy treat which I did try, but it doesn't taste very good..... blah....

Here's a toothy pic with my favorite hat from Aunt Pam and Uncle Len! Thanks for helping me protect the noggin :)

Bathtime fun with Daddy

Dad what are you doing taking pictures of me in the bath.......... I'm naked.

Oh well, I love bath time so I might as well show off a little and give a nice big smile for the camera. Check out the video below of me pouring water out of my cup.

Wow I never knew how much fun pouring water on myself could be. This is great!

Visit to the National Aquarium in Baltimore

The following are all pictures that are from my visit to the Aquarium this past Saturday. It was great because I got to walk around this time. Last time I went with Mom and Dad I was just a little guy and could not walk yet. This time I was all over the place checking out all the cool animals. Plus my family from Ohio was there with me too!
Hey is that Nemo? By the way guy, you were awesome in that movie. It is one of my personal favorites.

Now that is a bunch of fish! They were all swiming around so darn fast, I was going dizzy trying to keep an eye on them.

This dude scared me a little. Dad put me right up to the glass and then he came swiming by and I was ready to back away. He just looks mean. Thank God he was behind that glass. I would not want to be in the water with him.

Look how cool this shark looks. I think he is a Leopard Shark. I liked him but was glad I was up above because there were a lot of Manta Rays in there too.

Check out the Flounder to the right of the picture. He looks like a rock! No wonder he is so successful catching fish, you can't even tell he is there. I wish I could be that invisible when I am getting into the cabinets, then Dad would not be able to stop me so fast.
