12 Month Stats

Colin had his 12 month appointment on Friday. He weighed in at 25 pounds and is 30 inches long. Even though he's not walking yet, the doctor says he's right on track. He seems to be getting more confident and we expect him to take off any day now. He had to get two shots and had two vials of blood drawn. Thank goodness the lady who drew his blood got it on the first try. I'm not sure we would have been able to handle someone sticking him over and over. He was very brave.

We also welcomed teeth 9, 10 and 11 this weekend. We thought he'd been drooling more than usual so I checked his mouth tonight. Lo and behold, three of his first molars are poking through. I guess he'll have a mouth full of teeth in no time!

I'll be starting a new job on Tuesday, so blog updates may be a little less frequent for awhile. We'll do our best to let you know about any major milestones.

Happy 1st Birthday Colin!

We had a small party for Colin's birthday today. Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Grandaddy, and Nanny were able to join us for cake and ice cream. Unfortunately, Tommy has that awful norovirus, so Uncle Mike, Aunt Melissa, Tommy and Matthew weren't able celebrate with us. (We hope you feel better soon, Tommy!)

We bought party hats for everyone, but Colin wasn't so happy to be wearing one.

It's pretty fun to play with though.










Then, it was time for cake.










Unlike everyone else, Colin didn't think the cake was very tasty.













But Colin thinks that cake might be the best toy ever!
































After playing with his cake, he opened his presents. Colin got some cute new clothes, a few new toys, and a nice Colin-sized table for his playroom.
Uncle Chris and Aunt Lisa sent Colin a birthday hat that he just loves. Unlike the party hat, he wore this one all day -- even while he napped! (And happy birthday to Aunt Lisa -- we hope you had a great day!!)
