Colby is a beaver...

One morning, not too long ago, I noticed that Colby had started eating his crib. He only has his two bottom teeth, and I was worried what his crib would look like when he got the rest of his teeth. We have a convertable crib that Colby will have for a long time.

I found some pads similar to this on Amazon. My mom helped me make some that would match Colby's room. So far, so good. Colby seems to be okay with the change. Hopefully no more wood chips in Colby's crib.

SOO BIG!

Here is a quick look at what you've missed. :)

I can stand up all by myself. You'll notice my new favorite toy is the rubber spatula. I don't leave home without it!

Look Mom! No Hands! 

I love me that rubber spatula!

I love playing the piano! Now I can play it whenever I want because I can reach it!

Colby will be walking any day now. He is growing like a weed! I still can't believe he'll be 1 in a month! It's hard to remember life without him in our home.

5 Year Anniversay

Today, I have been married to my best friend for five years! I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday we were just married, but so many things have happened in our lives!

Erick, I love you so much! Thank you for 5 wonderful years! I'm looking forward to our future of many more wedding anniversaries!

HOT!!!

Poor Colby! He touched the fireplace at my mom's house today. His fingertips all have blisters (except his thumb). Every kid has to learn this lesson. I just hope he's old enough to learn it just this once!



1st Christmas

I know I am a little behind. I lost my camera for a while. . .

Here are the super cute pictures of Colby on his first Christmas!
