Delirious, Funny Collin

So after our accident Collin was very loopy. The first week after the accident while in the ICU and on heavy medications he said a lot of funny things. His brother and sister-in-law Chet and Abby as well as our moms and I wrote down several of his funny sayings. At the time they were funny, but also a little sad that his brain was so far gone. Now it's fun to look back and laugh from them.

- "Where is Justin Timberlake?"

- We mentioned Grandma Donna and Lucy having tubes in their noses like he did and he said "joyful, happy spirits" 

- "If I die when I go pee it's your fault" 

- Collin do you know where you are? "The north pole"

- "Did Stefani get her gift list?" We said yes, he said "it hasn't slipped her mind?"

- "Buy Jeremy an elephant."

- "Chet sing your Christmas jingle to get Jeremy here, I know it works"

- "Call Kristy Kringle and find out where Kris Kringle is" 

- "Get me up!" up where? "up mom's skirt, I don't care!" 

- Collin you are flashing me, Collin-"Count your blessings" 

- Abby asked Collin what did you get me? Collin-"Presents, what more do you want?" 

- "I don't want to die" You are not going to die, Collin-"well we are all going to die."

- We said just go pee, you have a catheter. Collin-"I can't, people are watching me"

- "I just want to get all this stuff off of me and walk around naked, is that too much to ask?"!! 

- Talking to his mom and I while we were both rubbing his arms"Do you both have to be touching me?"

- "Where is Kati Sue? (my sister) at home "Why? Doesn't she like us anymore?"
- Me, what are you doing? Collin "Looking at you cause you're cute."
- To me "I had a dream you were a werewolf dragon and me and my dad were trying to kill you."
- Talking about me "I love her so much. I really miss her."
- "Frankenstein is dead. We solved it."
- "Sorry if I am disparaging anyone." (I just looked up that word - expressing the opinion that something is of little worth)
- "My C-Section went alright."
- "Santa hasn't come yet. It takes forever. No presents allowed in the hospital."
- He asked if I would take him home yet and I said no. "You're making me go insane. You're killing me." He said that while pushing my face away from his.
- "How much time do you think they spent designing this bed? It was not enough cause it is extremely uncomfortable."
- "It hurts so much to be hurt sometimes."

Family Pictures March 2015

We went to Arizona the end of February through the beginning of March. My sister Emilee had a baby and we went for her blessing. My whole family was there so that was a lot of fun to see everyone and for them to all meet Scott. Scott loved them, especially his cousins! It was fun to see his cousins play with him and to see Scott give them kisses over and over. We went out for a lot of yummy food as well. We went to Serrano's (my favorite Mexican food), Cafe Rio, Venezzia's (pizza), and Joe's BBQ! It was all delicious and we loved hanging out with everyone. Well, while we were down there my sister wanted to take some family pictures for us. She'd taken a photography class the semester before that and wanted to have some fun. We love how they turned out and it was fun watching the family there try and make Scott smile.

I love that his eyes smile too!

Scott seriously loves being on Collin's shoulders and tries to eat his hair, EVERY time, 

I could kiss his cheeks all day.

6 Months Old!!!

Our Little Mr. Scott is 6 months old! That means he's closer to being one than zero! How did that even happen?! We absolutely love him and his fun personality. He seriously is such a ham! I have a feeling he's going to be a lot like his dad and be super funny and crack jokes all the time. Here's an update on him, including items for when he was 5 months old.

5 months:
- We got him a Jumperoo and he loves it! It's fun to see him in there just jumping away. Also, now he wants to jump ALL the time!
- He thinks it's so fun to kick the wall or his toys. Sometimes he'll just be laying there having fun kicking his toys instead of actually playing with them.
- He's majorly doing "stranger danger" right now. Even with friends that we see at least once a week. He'll be fine for a minute or two but as soon as he sees one of us, he starts crying. He only wants Mom or Dad holding him, which is mostly okay with us. Sometimes it would be nice to have a little break every once in awhile.
- He loves scratching everything. Anything he touches he scratches.
- Rolls from his back to front but only going to the left.
- Tasted a few foods: apple, orange, tomato, banana.
- Mom and Dad left him for the first time on Valentine's Day while we went for lunch. He cried the whole time we were gone. Thankfully we have an awesome friend who was okay with it.
- Loves singing Primary Songs with us at night

6 months:
- He now has 2 teeth! What?! It's so cute seeing those two little tiny teeth in there. He didn't show any signs of getting his first tooth other than chomping on everything. I just randomly saw it one day. The second one he did not sleep very well one night and was up about every hour. The next day his second tooth showed up. They happened within a week of each other.
- Can roll both ways from his back and rolls all over the floor. This makes it really hard to change his diaper.
- He does a slow army crawl. Our child is mobile now, watch out!
- He loves food! We've given him oatmeal, sweet potatoes, green beans, and any fruit we have for dinner he can suck the juice out or we can cut small for him.
- Went on his first airplane flight to Arizona a few weeks ago for his cousin's baby blessing. While there he got to meet all his Aunts and Uncle and cousins on the Barker side. We had so much fun! He also hardly did his "stranger danger" with them. He LOVED his cousins! He loved to play with and give them kisses. It was so fun to see them having fun altogether.
- Speaking of which, his "stranger danger" is not as bad as it used to be so that's nice!
- He's still waking up 2 or 3 times a night.
- Sitting up like a pro now with just the occasional fall.
- Loves to listen to Mom play piano.
- He seriously is such a happy baby. Starting just a few days ago he starts laughing anytime we laugh. We use this to our benefit and fake laugh just to hear him laugh. He's so cute when he's giggling and laughing.
- He loves the song "Slippery Fish". Every time I sing it with him he smiles and tries singing with me. I've started singing it super fast with him and he just laughs.
- Loves playing with anything that's not a toy: my phone, Collin's textbooks, paper, bags (we watch him very closely with bags and paper), etc.

He loves going down the stairs, especially when Dad's behind him.

He slowly ate that whole piece. He loved it!!!

It's all down his shirt too. That's how delicious it was!

We've had BEAUTIFUL weather lately and have gotten to go for lots of walks. 

He now is riding like a big boy and not in his car seat in the stroller.

Loved those sweet potatoes!

My sister took some pictures for us while we were there. 

I'll post more later but here's a cute one of our little man!
