Dear Colby,
Yesterday was your birthday! I can’t believe how quickly this last year flew by and I can’t believe my baby is one year old! You are already growing in to such a sweet and fun little boy, and. I can’t believe you are like a little boy now instead of a baby.
You are 30.4 inches tall and 22.4 pounds (74 and 45%) , so you’re already turning lean and tall like your daddy. You have 5 and a half teeth with the last one only partially up. You have such an adorable smile that shows your 3 and a half bottom teeth so well.
You started really walking this last week and you are so excited about your new skill that you like to practice alot! You are becoming a little walking pro. Your hair is officially blonde like mine and I love it, and your eyes are brown like daddy’s and I love those too.
Your favorite foods are pretzels, yogurt and anything sweet. You definitely got my sweet tooth and you’ll go for a bite of ice cream, brownie or cookie anytime of the day.
You love to go on bike rides with us, maybe cause it usually means we are headed to the park or maybe you love the ride. You also love when daddy or I chase you. You love exploring new things and places and like to taste test every new thing you find. You love balls and really throwing everything you find. You love making messes. And most of all you love playing in the water, you love the tub, the toilet, aspens water bowl, you love splashing in any water you can find.
Even though you’re almost always on the go, you always come back and check in with me to make sure everything is okay. And youll still give me occasional snuggles especially if we are reading a book or watching curious george. You sure love your momma and your daddy and sometimes you go back and forth reaching from one to the other, back and forth. You aren’t afraid of other people but you like mommy and daddy best and always reach for us when someone else tries to hold you. You love daddy most for the laughs and you love me most when you need comfort.
I can’t believe what a sweet boy you are becoming and I can’t wait to enjoy the journey with you and continue to watch you grow. I love you so much my sweet sweet boy. I’m so glad to be your mama!
Love always, Momma
