3 Months

A little late but what do you expect.  Colin is 3 months old and awake a lot more now.  He is starting to try rolling over; he gets to his side but can't quite get the rest of the way over.  He is eating about every 3-4 hours and has been sleeping through the night now for a couple of weeks.  He still gets up every once and a while to eat but not very often.  He has started to laugh aloud just this week as well.  Patrick was "dropping" onto Colin and Colin was laughing; so glad I was able to get it on video.

Colin had his three month pictures taken at Little Farmer.  They turned out wonderful.  I had a hard time picking out my favorites.  Laura was even able to get a few really good ones of Patrick.

  

Quarry Quest

Patrick loves big trucks and anything even close to large machinery.  To fuel this love, I took him to Neenah, for Quarry Quest.  It's a large working quarry that is set up into many different stations/area for you to explore and learn.  You can learn some basic geology and even some chemistry (mixing concrete) and history (cave paintings).

The big attraction for Patrick was the excavators.  He was so excited to be able to sit in and "drive" one.  He waited patiently for 45 minutes for his turn that lasted maybe 2 minutes.

Thankfully for Mama, right next to the lines for the diggers were large sand piles for the children to dig in.  That really helped Patrick wait for his turn. 

There was so much to do that we didn't get to it all, not even half of it.  We did so a rock painting and dug for fool's gold.  We were also able to ride in the back of a large dump truck filled with rocks.  You couldn't get a picture of the truck but I did take one with Patrick sitting on the rock waiting to go.

I'm planning to take the boys back next year, this time with at least one more adult to help watch the boys.  Colin was fine, but some times I had a hard time keeping up with Patrick.
