Happy Birthday Collin!

Our little Collin Steven is 1!!!!!

I cannot believe that this little boy is already a year old!  Time just went by too quickly! 

He was born our Teeny Little Super Guy at 6 lbs 4 oz and he still is!  He is still only in the 10th percentile in height and weight at 18 1/2 lbs and 28 inches long but the Dr. was not too concerned this morning at his appointment.

We just love him and have so much fun with him.  He is learning so many things and it just amazes me the things he is able to figure out and remember.  He only has 2 teeth but that does not slow him down one bit!

Here are some things I want to remember about him at this age:

LOVES:
-His pacifier
-His bottle (and his sippy cup too for that matter)
-Blueberries
-Bananas
-Little puffs, cheerios or any little snack
-OK, pretty much any food he will eat as quickly as possible!
-His big brother
-Climbing the stairs and pretty much anything else too
-Getting into any cabinet he can get open and dragging every last thing out
-Bath time
-Playing on the couch cushions on the floor with his brother
-Scooting around pushing cars on the floor-especially this red one that makes a noise when he pushes it.  Do little boys automatically know how to do this and make the vroom noise to go with it?  I think so!

THINGS HE IS DOING:
-Saying bye bye, Mama, Dada, hi, M sound for more food, B sound for bananas and blueberries
-Waving hi and bye
-Clapping his hands
-Learning to hold silverware and attempting to stab/scoop food to eat it
-Standing by himself without holding on or pulling up
-Walking with help (not taking steps by himself yet but soon)
-He loves cleaning things-give him a rag or paper towel and he goes to town wiping anything and everything (I hope he keeps this enthusiasm forever and will be a big helper!)

I am so blessed to have such a sweet little boy-actually 2 sweet little boys!

Here's a couple pictures of Collin's recent adventures:

Climbing on the kid's table while we were
cleaning the basement the other day



Climbing on my sewing machine cover while
I was sitting at the table sewing.  And he's waving at me
saying "hi" when I asked him what he was doing :)

the big kids and wanting so bad to join them.
(Bobo is also wanting to be outside too!)



We will be doing his birthday party next week when we have our families come to visit us.  I'm excited.....I already have all my plans and decorations in the works!  I know he is only one and won't remember it but I love doing these things so I am going to have fun with it!!  I'm doing a "Little Man" party.  It's gonna be cute! :)
