90 Degrees

We got Colton a water stand to help him stay cool in the Summer months. Once we put it together, we called over Thomas to join in the fun. They played for a long time, which resulted in a nice long nap. Thank you little tikes.

Reflection

Colton's birthday was 5/23. We sang at 6:47 AM, and after that we realized this boy probably has another ear infection, so we kept him home and went to the pediatrician and found out he had a double ear infection. Poor guy, but he still had a smile on his face throughout the day as you can see. What a year! It is kind of a blur when I look back on it. While it seems like it went by so fast, it also feels like a year ago today was actually 5 years ago. I can't even remember what it was like to have a 5 lb 15 oz baby. Everyday has gotten better and better. Every new trick gets more exciting and more amazing. Colton is talking lots, pulling himself up on his own, and walking with assistance (and is working up the courage to take a step on his own). He loves real food and enjoys eating it on his own. He shakes his head when you say, "No, no, no." He loves playing with Val, feeding her his food, and playing with her dog tags. He loves his Daddy's funny faces and when his beard tickles his feet. He could live on my chest and is most comfortable there - my little love lump. He loves all things Elmo, taking walks outside, and his bath. He loves all of you and thanks you for being a part of his 1st year. I have captured almost every single day of it. I made his wish on his birthday before we blew out the candle. I wished him the best life ever and at least 100 more years ahead of him.

Our Loves

Caroline Turns 1

On the same day as Thomas' party, Caroline had her birthday party too. They stuck with the playground theme as well. Caroline is Brian's Goddaughter and she is a doll.

Thomas Turns 3

Thomas put 10 fingers up, but he is only 3 this year. Thomas is our neighbor and his parents tell us all the time how much he talks about Colton and can't wait to get to play with him. His party was at a local playground and it was so much fun to have all the swings, slides, and toys around to keep all the kids happy.

Happy Mother's Day

This year was my very first Mother's Day. I won't lie, I was really looking forward to this special day now that I officially wear the badge of motherhood. It was a gorgeous day and Colton and I went on a really long walk around Glenside. All these strangers said, "Happy Mother's Day!" and I couldn't hold back my smile. It just feels good to be a mom.

Brian had to leave for a business trip this morning so I am on active mommy duty all day long and through Tuesday. So we will be celebrating next Sunday.

On another note, a shout out to our favorite Moms! We love our moms so much and thank them for everything they have given us. We miss you Mrs. Kenney!
