Thanksgiving and Christmas Decorating!

This year Thanksgiving was extra special because it was Colby's 1st! He loved all of the food that Thanksgiving had to offer, of course! He also got to play with all of his cousins after the big meal. It was a great day!

Cousins Macey and Thomas... we had 4 highchairs this year:)

Ready for the Thanksgiving meal!

Colby and Coy about to dig in... Colby is looking at Coy's roll and wondering where his is? :)

Cydney and me

The 5 cousins... it will be 7 in a matter of weeks!

Yesterday, we decorated the house for Christmas! This is my absolute favorite holiday, and I can't wait to share it with Colby. Last year at this time, I was about to pop!:)

Colby helping daddy put up the lights outside.

He liked when we plugged in the lights!

Colby with our tree! I am not sure how I am going to keep him away from it. :)

"Santa I have been a good boy this year!"

Picture update...

"Cheeeeeeeeeese"


"Ooooooooo"

Silly boy

Got a package from Mimi...

But so far he likes the box better:)

10 Months and counting...

I know Colby was 10 months last week, but I wanted to post things he is doing at 10 months.
- He is now pretty much weaned off the bottle. (Only takes one at night, and probably would not have a problem if I took away that one too!)
- He is pulling up on everything!
- Cruising on furniture
- He will let go and reach out for me, and start walking holding one of my hands.
- He loves to eat. He has been eating table food for about a month, and I love it! He can eat and feed himself, so we can both eat at the same time!
- He loves to point. He points and calls everything "da-da"
- He loves to be outside. Whenever I have the back door open, he makes a break for it:)
- He loves to clap for himself.
- He waves hi and byebye.
- He loves to swing at the park.
- He loves to play with other kids!
- He loves mommy's Blackberry.
- He now makes a "cheese" smile.
- He usually goes to bed around 7:30PM and wakes up around 7 AM.
- He takes two naps a day... usually an hour and a half each.
-He weighs about 18 lbs.
I want to be sure to remember things he was doing at this age because he is growing so fast and doing new things everyday. Here are a few pictures from this week.

Pulling up in his PJs.


"Look mom... One hand!"

He loves his daddy!

Colby's Baptism

Colby was baptized yesterday! We are so blessed to have him in our lives. Here are a few pictures from the day...

Look at that little angel:)

Smile...

The Godparents duty was to keep him happy during the ceremony!

Mommy's trick was feeding him Cheerios!

He didn't know what was going on.

They had actually heated the water, so Colby didn't mind it at all. You can see him touching the water with his hand.:)

Drying off

Getting the oil rubbed on him.

This kid definitely gets around these days. He is so much fun and FULL of energy! He is very curious about everything and doesn't want to miss any of the action. Here are a few more pics of my little ham!

Happy Halloween!
