Uh oh, peek-a-boo and doggies

Wow, coming back from vacation can really take it out of ya! We have been non-stop busy since we got home. What have we done? Well, July 4th was a beautiful day of parades, fire trucks, family and friends in the park and fireworks. We went to a Touch a Truck fundraiser and Colter played in a fire truck, police car, race car, construction vehicles of all sorts, it is still the topic of conversation. If any of you ever need a fundraiser idea--use this one! We have been all over San Miguel County house and land hunting for my parents. We think we have it all together, we'll see in the next week or so. We have been swimming several times, Colter is so confident now that he has his fish floatie that Aunt Bonnie gave him in Bonaire. Dylan is a water baby and has no issues going under water. I just wish he wouldn't dive off the steps into it when I'm helping Colter! We went rafting on Hanging Flume, a section of the San Miguel, yesterday and had a great adventure. The boys loved it, as always, and Dylan decided to continue his walking lessons on the boat. He can kind of take a couple of steps before he face plants into something, usually me or Colter. He is a stair climbing machine and loves repetition. We are really starting to see him interact and show his personality. The new words of the week are Dada- actually used correctly- and UH OH. Boy is that ever a favorite, almost as popular as Mama, Mama, Mama! Colter tells everyone that he taught his baby to say UH OH and then tries to get Dylan to say it. Pretty funny. Colter is helping me teach Dylan sign language and so far we have "more", "fan", "food" ,"dog" and "peek-a-boo" Oh yeah, Colter, or Batman, Fire Chief, SuperColter, Dragon, is still insanely creative, imaginative and funny, he comes up something new for us everyday. The other night it was, "Good night Colter" " Wait Mom, I have to talk to God" "OK" "Hello God, Um, How did you make tigers?"..."Hey Mom, when is he going to answer me, He's rude!" "Well, honey, sometimes he answers you in your sleep, try it and see" "Ok...wait he's talking to me....He said "mix it in a mixing bowl" huh that's cool"
It is endless and I only hope I can remember those moments when he is using his skills against me!
