Little Football Fan

Colette, much to our delight, loves football. She shrieks at the t.v. when a game is on, clapping and laughing. And she loves playing with a football half her size.

GO PACK!



TOUCHDOWN!

Colette also knows the Seminole's war chant!

I'M Winnie the Pooh!

Colette dressed up as her favorite character this year--Winnie the Pooh! And though her "Nana Babe" was concerned she would develop a Winnie complex, I think Colette handled her new identity quite well. So Daddy and Mommy took her to the Fall Carnival at church and she "fished" for gifts and collected goodies in her Hunny Pot. She had LOTS of fun walking around the carnival showing off her treats and Daddy and Mommy had a hard time keeping up with her fast little legs!

Summer clips

We were so busy this summer with all our traveling. So I'm just throwing together a few pictures of our summer trips.

Faces

Well some of you have been demanding new pix of Colette. So I'm adding a bunch and will try to do a better job of keeping up. She is becoming a little ham when it comes to taking photos.

Happy Birthday Colette!

Colette's 1st birthday was May 21 and she had a wonderful time celebrating with friends, Daddy, Mommy and Grandmommy. Colette dressed in her special balloon birthday dress and got to eat her first taste of sugar: her butterfly cupcake. She had so much fun during the party and she knew it was for her, too. I can't believe my little baby is a year old already...

Kiss Me!

Happy Easter!

Colette patiently poses...
but she'd rather play with her new ball...

La Petite Fille Francaise

Mademoiselle Colette Elise dressed up in her little dress and beret to welcome her Daddy home from his mission trip.

All Dressed Up

Miss Colette Elise dressed up to go to her very first birthday party. She behaved very politely as she sat in Daddy or Mommy's lap sucking her thumb observing the crowd.

Feed Me!

For those of you missing out on seeing Colette's feedings, you're missing quite an event. She enjoys her foods, but what she likes most is spitting them onto Daddy or Mommy. I don't bother changing my clothes anymore after a feeding and figure the green splattered all over me is similar to when I'm painting and have paint splattered on me.

Sitting Pretty in Florida

This is the epitomy of Colette Elise. Happy and
laughing. This picture was taken at Christmas on Grandpa and Grandmommy Heilman's yard and she's probably laughing at Daisy--their patient terrier.

Merry Christmas!

Colette looked oh so cute in her Christmas dress. Here she's opening a couple of her favorite gifts: books and a toy piano!
