Happy First Birthday Colin!

Today is Colin's first birthday! Happy Birthday my sweet boy! Last night I was reflecting a lot on his birth. You can go read the short-version here. It was my first au-naturale delivery and in a nutshell, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life!! It wasn't easy by any means, but it was very, very worth it! At any rate, he came and we were so glad to have him join our family.

He really is a sweet boy too. He started crawling a while ago but for what seems like a long time he army crawled! Boy was he fast though! I was super excited when he started to crawl normally because the front of his shirts were a lot less dirty! now he's standing up and cruising furniture. He's a climber- he can zoom up the stairs so fast! Makes me nervous. He's now got 3 teeth with two more on the way. He's still a little guy- his next appt isn't for another 2 weeks, but my scale says around 18 lbs. He's got those big brown eyes that just melt your heart. He's going to be a ladies man I can already tell. He certainly knows how to work a crowd and can be such a ham. His newest fascination is roaring like a dinosaur. Everytime he does it we all crack up- it's so cute!

As you can tell by the pics, he tore into his cake like no other! He had fun mashing it for a while, then I finally clued him in to how good it tastes, and well, that was fun too! Here's a video showing you the whole experience!









Overall it was a fun night. And now my baby is ONE!
