Birthday Boy!

I can't believe my baby is already a year old! Where did that year go?! Our little Colton has been soooo much fun! He has such a cute little personality. He loves music. Always has to dance when a song comes on, even if it's a church hymn! He is still our little chub chubs...loves to eat. Has four teeth, top two and bottom two. He definitely prefers table food over baby food and fruit over vegetables. He's not walking yet but is close....can crawl really fast! He loves to play catch. He loves to watch his older brother Luke. Always wants to play whatever Luke is playing(which usually causes some problems). Loves to explore and empty out drawers and undo the toilet paper roll(don't know why all babies find this so amusing). Waves goodbye and jibber jabbers really loud. He has brought so much joy and happiness to our little family. Haven't gotten his one year pictures yet but below are a few pictures from his birthday party.
Luke had a hard time with Colton's birthday being before his birthday. I tried to explain over and over that he was born on August 13th and that's when we will celebrate his birthday...still didn't get it.
Our friends, the Bendorfs, came to help us celebrate his birthday. The kids had fun helping Colton open his presents.
Colton's first drum set. He had fun making lots of music.


My friend, Erin, with baby Brody. He's about seven months younger than Colton but I'm sure they will become good little buddies when they get older.

Not Martha Stewart, but something we threw together last minute!
Colton loved everything except the balloons and the candle on his cake!
Caught on to the cake thing pretty fast. Had a few bites but mostly liked playing in it.

Yes, we should have done this outside...big mess!

He's so handsome, but that's no surprise (look at his parents). I can't believe how big he looks. Hurry back for a visit to SLC so I can see you all!

Thanks for inviting us to the party, Amy. I like the drum set... great idea but, could add a little extra noise to an otherwise quite house. Your family and the boys look great!

Love,

Dad
