Colby 1st Birthday - May 21

Colby had his First Birthday on May 19th because of schedules we had a combined birthday party for him and Conner on the 21st. I have to say that this was thrown together at the last minute because we had been in Utah the weekend before.

This is a photo from the day Colby left the hospital, I knew that we had a very special boy on our hands but over the last year I have come to see what an amazing personality he has. He is my on the Go boy, he wants to do everything. And has no fear, which sometimes worries me. He started taking steps at 11 months and by his birthday he was walking on his own with no looking back. He watches his older brothers and tries to follow them when possible. He loves balls! He also loves being outside, if their is a door open he will find it. If not he stands there pointing. He also loves the dogs, he will go right up to Sunshine my mom's St. Bernard and Gemma Sierra's yellow lab. He lays by Izzy the dachshund and loves petting her. For all his energy he is really gentle with her. He is all ready trying to climb on everything and would probably be in the trees with his brother's if he could.
Colby, is constantly trying to communicate especial since he turned 1 he talks and acts like we should understand him. There are quite a few words that he has picked up on, Outside being his favorite.

I really thought hard on what to do for his cake, and monkey was the perfect image. That is my nickname for him, it describes his energy and his curiosity perfectly.

He had no problem jumping right in especially with his brothers to show him how! He loves Cake!

What a Boy!

I couldn't believe how caked (no pun intended) his hand got.

Trying to share his messy face with me.

The perfect present - a BALL!!

He let his brothers open his presents but enjoyed playing with them afterwords.

P.S. Conner's half of the Party to come on next post!
