Happy FIRST birthday COLE!!!!

Oh my dear baby Colton! I can't even believe how big you are!! You are walking and have even started RUNNING! You try to do everything big brother does, even if it means that you end up tail over tea kettle! :-) With a mouthful of teeth (14 at last count!) you eat just about anything and everything. And if Daddy is eating anything he'd better be prepared to share cause you are going to want it too! You are growing well, at 29.5 inches tall and 20.8lbs your getting taller...but your activeness is keeping your weight down. Dr. Bartlett thought you will hilarious at your appt! You just kept running back and forth! You also sat so nicely while he checked your ears, teeth and body. You did great until it was shots time. That you weren't so happy about. But you did good and only cried for a minute. You are pretty independent and know how to get your way! You can say mama, dada, bruh (brother), eat, uh oh, hi, baba (bottle) and duh (for Uncle Donnie). You LOVE LOVE LOVE to be outside whenever you can! We are so happy that it's getting warmer outside so we can be out in the sunshine! You are such a doll baby. I love you so much! Even when you are getting into everything (like the dishwasher soap!) you are such a wonderful boy and I couldn't ask for more!

All smiles before his cupcake!!

Ryan and Cole...I guess somewhere Ryan learned to bust out the peace sign for pictures.

Ryan reading the card he got for Cole to him.

Cole waiting for his cupcake!

"GIVE ME THE CUPCAKE!!!"

Digging in!

All my boys. I love how Cole is looking at Ryan, like he's going to try to steal his food!

Just shoveling it in!

Still working on it!

Isn't he so cute...even covered in frosting!

PS...please excuse the pictures...they suck but since my camera died we had to use a disposable...BOO!! His real party is this Saturday and I promise there will be better pictures. My boys did amazing considering the circumstances and I just love them SO much!
