Colins 1st birthday party

 For Colin's birthday I did his favorite book as the theme Cat and the hat! We had a great time and lots of friends and family came! Watching him eat the cake was so funny he took his time and enjoyed it!

Colin 1 year old

Dear Colin,
How are you 1 already! It goes by twice as fast with your second. I literally feel like I blinked and you are this big one year old. You are so into everything you have mastered climbing and are full on walking everywhere. You are still the sweetest baby I have ever met and love to cuddle and giggle. I am so luck to have you as my son. Your personality is a lot like your Dads you are very laid back and happy all the time.  You now have eight teeth and are starting to put some weight on! I get so tired of people asking me if you are 9 months or 6 months, but you are growing and meeting all your milestones very early so they can kiss it. You enjoy bath time, playing outside, and playing cars with your brother. You have discovered how to dance and enjoy climbing on the coffee table and dancing. I love you so much and cant wait to see you grow more, although I wish you could be my baby forever I am so proud of the big guy you are becoming.
Love,
Mommy

Colin- 11 months

Dear Colin,
How are you about to be a year old. I wish I could keep you a baby forever. My heart hurts because you are getting so big and so fast. You now walk all the time. You amaze me!! We had to put up a gate and move the DVD's in the living room because you could not be stopped!! You love tearing down all the DVD's and can do it in less than a minute. You are on your way to getting tooth number 6. Teething does not bother you. The only way I can tell is you eat a lot more. You are still a Mamas boy, but are starting to be all about Dad too. Liam and you are really starting to play well now that you can move so well. He does help keep you out of trouble and enjoys playing cars and building parking lots with you. His patience has improved a lot with you now that you can physically go anywhere. Sometimes he is a little rough and tries to jump on you, but you compensate by pulling his hair as hard as you can!! You are so loveable, you love to be rocked, held, cuddled and tickled. You can now dance and have so much fun listening to music and having dance parties. I have been working hard on your first birthday party it is going to be so fun! I can not imagine a day without your beautiful smile and sweet laugh. I love you to the moon and back sweet love!

Love,
Mommy

Snow Day

Or more like Ice day! Regardless Colin and Liam loved playing outside and making hot chocolate. Liam actually just liked eating the sprinkles and putting them in his cup and the floor. : ) Jason was unable to stay home like the rest of Wilmington, but made it home safely each day. Here are a few pictures from our first snow day since moving to Winnabow!

 

Christmas 2013

Christmas this year went by way too fast. This year we did not travel to New Hampshire so I thought that would help slow down the season, but no such luck. Liam actually sat with Santa this year after a couple of tries and told him he wanted a Car. He also got to go on the Santa Train which he absolutely loved! Watching Liam start to love the season is so awesome to watch. This year he even did a little play with his preschool where they sang songs. He really liked picking out a Christmas tree and making cookies for Santa. Colin doesn't really get the season yet, but still enjoyed all the fun! Christmas day we stayed at home and I made dinner for my family! It was a great Christmas, but went by way too fast. It will always be one of my favorites because it was Colin's first. A baby's first Christmas is just magical! This year we were all sick, Colin had a ear infection and the rest of us had the worst cold in history. We didn't let it get us down and had a great Christmas!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving 2013

 

Thanksgiving 2013 was great. I traveled to Burlington with the boys to be with my family. Jason had to work the next day so he could not come. They seemed to really enjoy it Liam loved helping make pies and Colin loves to eat turkey!! I am so thankful for these two little boys!!

 

 

Dear Colin- 9 and 10 months

 

 

Dear Colin,

You have grown so much. At 9 months you started standing very well by yourself for long periods of time and a day after you turned 10 months you took your first few steps. You are so sweet you love to be rocked or cuddled and like playing with my hair to calm down before bed. You are so smiley you laugh a lot and whenever I say Colin come over here you dash across the room to get to me. You love being held and getting attention. Probably because you are always fighting for it.  Your favorite things are playing with Liam, taking a bath and cruising around in your walker. I absolutely can not believe you are only a couple of months away from being a big one year old. We are planning to have a Dr. Seuss party which should be very fun! I love you so much little man and can not believe how much another little boy has changed my life and my heart ( I didn't think it could get any fuller with love). I love you and I am so glad your mine.

 

Love,

Mommy
