BIG BOY!!!

Saturday, June 21st Collin turned 1 year old! I can't believe how quickly time has passed- it seems even faster than Samantha's first year. He is such a happy, happy "little" guy, with the sweetest eyes in the world. He has a very tender heart- and loves to cuddle. His favorite way to fall asleep is on Mike's shoulder while he sings. He really is such an easy child- with the exception of his weight- he just gets so heavy to carry around! Luckily he is showing interest in walking- so far he can stand and take a couple steps before he lunges for whoever he is walking to. He can say mama and dada- and uses the words correctly. He can wave hi and goodbye- and has just started pointing to the things he wants and the direction he wants to go.

For his birthday we had it a soccer theme- so of course he got a little soccer ball (I don't have a picture of him with it- it's on my mom's camera) he got some Little Tykes chubby cars and a toy hammer. From his Grandma and Grandpa Mower he got a book, new pj's and and Elmo movie. His aunts Steph and Cassie gave him a dump truck and Toy Story. Ryan, Kathryn and Cecily gave him some cute clothes. From Jonathan, Bree and Addi he got a Buzz Lightyear sippy cup.- From his Grandpa and Grandma Taylor he got a See'n'Say and a Baby Einstein sing and play CD. Russell gave him a Wall-E T-shirt. So needless to say he was beyond spoiled!

It took him a little bit to figure out what he was suppose to do with his cake- but as soon as he caught on- it was over from there! He went to town! After he got his fill- he just loved squishing his hands in it.
