Playtime and Picasso

It is so much fun to watch Colt change daily...you can just see the wheels turning as he tries to explore, figure things out, and learn. He entertains himself a lot these days, with or without toys. Whether it is trying to see how many foam letters will stick to his body...

Or organizing mommy and daddy's shoes, which desperately needs to be done...
Or lining up the spices (the spice basket is one of his favorite things in the pantry these days).

Although on this particular day, I did not realize that the red food coloring made its way into the spice basket. And seeing as how Colt is Houdini, this was the result...

But, after a thorough washing and a day to fade...his hands were back to normal in no time (and mommy's hands, the hardwoods, his sweatshirt...all fine).

This past week, we also had another Picasso moment. We painted star ornaments for Christmas gifts. Everything was going great!

Until...Colt decided it would be more fun to paint himself...

And Ellie...

He thought it was hilarious!

And the result...marvelous as always!
