13 Months

Geeze, 13 months seemed to get here fast since his birthday party was a week late.

Collin is 21.2 pounds and 29.5 inches tall. I over estimated a bit on the 12 month post. I took him to the doctor after his birthday and got the accurate numbers. At his doctor's appointment, he had to have five shots and he was NOT happy about it. It was just awful seeing him hurt so bad. We immediately went to Dollar General afterwards and bought him a prize. Dr. Millette recommended Miralax for his bad constipation. It has worked like magic and now I have guilt for not calling or seeing the doctor sooner. We are just so glad it does work for our little man.

Collin LOVES the word hot. No matter what he's talking about or looking at he's saying hot. Sometimes he draws it out like hhhhaaaoooooT and really emphasizes the T. Of course, we think it's the cutest thing ever. He completely stopped saying mama and daddy for a while, but just recently has picked those words back up here and there.

My man does have a little bit of an attitude. I'm already worrying about the terrible twos. He likes to throw his food off of his high chair which I tell him not to do so he looks at me first to see if I'm looking then he does it. I'm sure this is a phase that will pass all too quickly with all the other phases babies go through.

Collin adores being outside and cries (well kinda throws a Collin fit) when we bring him back inside. We usually go walking when I get home from work everyday and stay outside until most nights like 7 o'clock. The mosquitos have been horrible this year so we are constantly fighting them.

Collin still sleeps very good. A few night last week he did cry a little when we laid him down but quickly fell asleep. I still go in and check on him every night before I go to bed. I love to see how he snuggled up in the corner with his booty up in the air.

His most favorite thing to eat is an Oreo. Every single time you give him one he seperates the two cookies and eats some of the icing. He is so filthy after he eats them!

He has become so attached to Matt and myself. He cries when he thinks we are going to leave him. He's even getting a tad bit more snuggly in his older age :).  We are eating up that snuggle time!

Happy 13 Months Buddy!

Lasagna Cups

For some time now, I have been eyeing these adorable lasagna cups over at www.kevinandamanda.com. I finally remembered to buy the ricotta cheese and after I almost let it go bad I happened to have the other ingredients in the fridge/pantry. So I cooked them for supper.

They turned out really tasty and super cute. They are super quick and easy might I add.

I pretty much followed her recipe with these exceptions: I used ground turkey meat and no sausage and I only put parmasean cheese on top. We try to watch as many calories as we can but still eat good. :)
