Collier is ONE!!

Collier turned ONE on August 21st, 2010! We celebrated on his actual birthday at the park. He wasn't sure what to think at first, but he loved playing in the water, eating hot dogs and cake, and opening his gifts. Here is the afternoon in pictures. Enjoy!!

Riding my rocking horse!

Not quite sure what to do with this!

His smash cake that his grandmother made for him.

11 Months

Collier is 11 months!! I can't believe my baby is almost ONE. The year has just flown by. He is the best baby, so I am told! Collier is a neat little boy and very interested learning new things. Here is what he is up to at 11 months....

Looking at his smile, he has 8 teeth and loves to banter with baby talk.

He makes lots of sounds like ma ma and da da. He just hasn't put it to the right person yet!

He loves to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Big Red Barn.

"If your happy and you know it clap your hands!" We love to sing and clap our hands.

Playing with my elephant pull toy. It is fun to pull him around all over the house.

Getting ready for bed.

But I must play with Clyde first!

Talking on Daddy's phone. He loves electronics.

He always wants to play with mommy and daddy's phones. He really likes the remotes too. He knows how to push the buttons and change the channels.

His new buddy Clyde! He is really into playing with the dog.

We LOVE our Little Boy so very much! Life is wonderful, and even better, that we get to share it with him.

A Weekend at the Lake

We had such a good time going to Aunt Julie's lakehouse on Lake Conroe! We arrived on Friday afternoon and headed straight for the water. Call was such a good traveler. As always, he slept most of the car ride, but was ready for a swim with Daddy and Uncle Kurt!

The water was rather warm!!

Getting ready to get back in the water!!

We had a very relaxing weekend on the lake with all of our friends. Alot of sun, water, yummy food, and fun times with our RR crowd. I hope we do it again next summer!!!

Water Baby

If you are going to have Keilah and Adam for parents, one must be a lover of water! Well we have no problem with that, because Call loves it! It took him awhile to warm up to the big swimming pool, but he loves the bath and smaller bodies of water. On this particular summer day, we filled up a turtle sandbox with water and let him have a good ole time!

Look at me!! This is so much fun!!

Letting Clyde take a drink too!

Playing with his water toys outside.

This was before he learned how to climb in and out of the pool.

He really had a good time and we have done this several more times throughout the summer. Now if I could just keep him out of the dog bowl!!

Playdate with Emery.

Emery is one of Collier's best friends. They spend lots of time together, while Liz and I hangout. They came over one day, after eating lunch with their daddy to play. They had a great time playing with the wagon. It was once again too cute!!

Collier and Emery

Collier pushing Emery around in the wagon. He was walking and squealing while he pushed her around!!

A view from the side. This wagon really improved his walking ability. Ever since I bought it, he pushes it around and puts everything in it. Even his friends!!!

Having so much with my friend! We are so thankful for their friendship!!
