2014 Year in Review Part 2 - June

I thought I would put June and July in a post together because we have a lot more pictures for these two months.  But then I realized June still had way too many pictures and I want to document as much as I can, so here is June 2014

June

We had Colin dedicated at the beginning of June.  That same weekend Colin got to meet Uncle Andy, Aunt Michelle and Cousin Carmen (Justin's brother and his family) along with Uncle Dave and Aunt Sharon (Sharon's my cousin that I claim as my sister!).  We also traded in Justin's Mitsubishi Eclipse for a family size vehicle....a Dodge Durango.  It was a VERY busy weekend.  Mom also retired that weekend so we went to the breakfast the school had to honor those retiring.  She retired from one job to take on a better one....keeping Colin every day!!!

First, meeting Uncle Andy & Aunt Michelle:

From there, we left to meet Dave & Sharon to spend the evening with them.

Sharon took this one her phone - trying to get a picture of Colin and it turned into this cute picture!

 Aunt Sharon loving on the little man!  It took awhile for him to warm up but then he was okay with her holding him.

On Sunday we had Colin dedicated. Due to the number of pictures I was trying to post, I decided to make that a separate post.  But here is one picture! 

Justin celebrated his first Father's Day 

Justin's dad and step-mom came to meet Colin but we didn't get a lot of pictures.  Colin was having a pretty rough weekend with his eczema.

June was supposed to be a really fun month - our first family vacation.  However, Colin's skin kept getting worse and the dermatologist said we needed to go to a pediatric dermatologist.  We finally got in at UNC so that ended up being Colin's first trip instead of a vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN.  Again, more detail on that to follow!  We got a couple of pictures while we were there but it was an emotionally draining trip so we didn't take too many pictures.  I'm so thankful Mom & Dad went with us for support.  

Colin's first stay in a hotel

Before our appointment we stopped at the outlet mall.

Justin & I came out of a store to find Colin riding the Carousel with Granddad!

then Mommy jumped on for a ride!

And later Colin helped Bob the Builder with Daddy!

Colin started trying to sit up more, raise himself up and roll around some during June.  

He also tried cereal for the first time at the very end of June.

And he got a very cool swing :) 

We ended the month by turning 5 months old and with a CLEAR face!  Praise the Lord!!!
