Since your six month appointment, you have had sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. You absolutely love baby food! In fact, you cry if we can not feed you the spoonful's fast enough. I knew you would love the food though...you are such a big water I knew there was no way you would not absolutely love it!!

You are SO incredibly close to crawling. I bet it is only a matter of days until you have mastered it! You still absolutely love to cuddle, jump, roll around, and just laugh and yell. You're so full of energy and just go NUTS while you are playing...but you're still mama's little baby who cuddles when he's tired. You give the best kisses!!!

Uncle David had his white coat induction ceremony to KU Medical School. I could not be more proud of that guy! We were there supporting him in the audience on what probably was the most prideful day of his life thus far. I had a special outfit made for you; it looked like you were wearing a stethoscope around your neck, the pocket said "Dr. Collins," and it looked like it was full of medical equipment as well. Everyone really got a kick out of it!

The white coat ceremony was extra special because Dr. Khan, Ma's oncologist, was actually the one to place the coat on Uncle Dave. He has worked with her since 2008 and without him...she would not still be here. His latest chemo treatments have truly helped her... I hope and pray things continue to remain positive for her. I know she will have her days...like today...she's having a very rough day... But she is here to hold you, kiss you, tell you she loves you...and for that, I praise the Lord.
