He's Here...Collin has arrived!

Collin Matthew arrived (a week late!) on Tuesday morning at 8:50am. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs, 10 oz. He looks exactly like his daddy, too.

Hannah just loves her new baby brother and wants to hold him all the time.
I think Collin looks a little like Selena in this picture.

Just look at that furrowed brow! He is just gorgeous! He has Matt's big toe but Selena's webbed 2nd and 3rd toes. A perfect blend of the two of them!

Fall Fun

Reid and I went to Olivia's 5th birthday party. Reid and Emma hung out at the table coloring and having a great time. I think Reid is in love with her. He looks at her picture on the fridge and says, "Emma, Emma" every time.

Reid's halloween costume hasn't come in yet so he had to go to the costume birthday party as a grad student. His low rise jeans and leather patched, corduroy blazer was perfect.

Later that weekend, we went to Grampa Couture's house to send him birthday wishes too. Reid visited the animals down in the barn. We got to feed the goats and pat the horses. Reid was thrilled!

Reid and Dad

Reid and Jeff had gone out to play in the yard. I saw this moment and ran to grab the camera. They just looked so cute together. Reid is growing up so fast! He continually adds to his "two word phrase" vocabulary. The newest: Mommy Blanket

We met up with friends and family at Wallingford's family day and picked some apples. Reid hadn't napped all day so we didn't stay long. He had a great time and got to see some horses. "horsey, horsey"

CAN YOU EVEN STAND IT??? I almost tear up every time I look at this picture. He is so beautiful.

3 In a Tub...

I haven't uploaded any October/End of Sept. photos yet so here is a mid-September photo:

The three Muskateers wanted to go for a swim in the "big Tubby". Hannah, Nolan, and Reid had a great time while the three mommies sat nearby, keeping the peace (and water INSIDE the tub). Reid had to be taken out early because he couldn't stop hitting. (he seems to have outgrown this stage a little since)

Reid's Newest and Latest:
* infatuated with the movie Shrek (thanks to his Memere)
* says "Mommy's blanket", "Daddy pee", "pease" for please when asked, "show", "watch" and "case" when he wants to see the movie
* runs around and wants to jump but doesn't land well yet

Reid and I went to the Manchester Apple Festival on Saturday for a bit of outside fun. He went in the jumpy house and walked around. There were goats in a pen so we went to see them. Reid pulled out some grass to feed them. I hadn't said or done anything to prompt the feeding. He did that all on his own. He must have remembered feeding them at Grampa's farm in August. What a smarty!

We are now just all sitting and waiting for Selena, Matt and Hannah's little Collin to be born...any day now!
