Colette just loves Nick. When he comes home at night, she always smiles, jumps up and down on her knees and walks on her knees over to him! One of the best things about having a baby is seeing how excited they are to see you. This is them just cuddling before bedtime.
Yesterday was such a beautiful day (80 degrees) that my friends decided to head to the Audubon reserve and Colette and I tagged along. It is this reserve where you walk through a field of tall grasses and cat-tails, and a pond or two, before it takes you to the beach.
Colette loved the sand, and yes, a couple handfuls made it to her mouth. While the boys loved looking for mini-crabs and snails by flipping over rocks. Afterwards we had a picnic at the look out point and just sat around enjoying the sun. I enjoyed it a little too much because I got a sunburn on my neck. Thank goodness for my friend Marissa who brought sunscreen, so I lathered Colette in some of that. 
Even though everyone had a grand ol' time, these two were pooped out from too much fun and sun!
I was trying to roll on Nick's sore muscle thing, and my hair got caught under it! I couldn't move and it hurt/was really funny. Nick snapped a picture.
Colette fell asleep this funny way in her swing. She loves this swing!!
We put a diaper on her head and she really liked it. She kept it on for quite some time. Yes, the diaper was clean and un-used.

And here is Nick flossing Cole's teeth. She really likes it...maybe it's the mint flavour.
Do you see the boy on the cover? Well that's my oldest nephew, Nate. He was the model for the book covers. So proud of that handsome guy. I guess I should buy the books like any proud aunt would do...
This past weekend holiday we decided to take a little vacation to Portland, Maine. It is a beautiful town! When I pictured what Providence would be like, this is what I pictured. A port town, with some old time charm. We walked around the wharf's, did a little shopping, ate at some awesome places (even some TV shows were filmed at these places), and visited the Portland Head Lighthouse (which George Washington commission to be built over 200 years ago and is still functioning) then picked up some little lobster friends to come home with us. (which we ate with our friends Eric and Liddy last night. They were delicious!!) It is only 2.5 hours north of us, so it was totally worth the trip. We both had a great time, and like always, Colette did just great. I love living in New England so we can experience things like this!
Not much has been going on lately. Colette has been doing great. She officially took her first 2.5 steps! Very exciting around here...but she has yet to reproduce these steps so my guess is that she will just do it again whenever she feels like it. Kind of like her mom in that area :)
Here are the puffy coat, purple shoe gals. Nick and I were headed to the Boston temple and my friend, Jenny (right), was going to watch Colette for the morning. She had a meeting at the church with my friend, Sarita (left) so Colette just hung out with them there. She is pretty good in regards to stranger anxiety. Just nervous at first, then she is cool. Hopefully it stays that way and doesn't get worse.
This is a cute picture of Colette and her cousin, Kate, taking a bath together while we were in Utah. I just love this picture and wanted to share it. I love these two!
And this is from last night. Colette and I were sharing some marshmallows. I stuck one to her forehead. She didn't think it was very funny- but I sure did!
I love a clean house, and I really like to clean. (I know, weird) This morning was clean the house day. So I went room and room and deep cleaned them all. Just beautiful.
