11 Months

My Sweet Baby Boy, Your first year is coming to an end. Time goes far to fast. I try to close my eyes and picture moments with each of my babies in those early days. I wish I could hold you and keep you little forever, but I also know that ahead waits an exciting journey, one that God created just for you. I love your curiosity and watching you play, explore and learn. I'm already so proud to be your mommy and look forward to seeing you accomplish all the things in life you wish to achieve. One thing is for sure, I love you dearly and always will.

Collin James, You are always on the move. You crawl so fast but also just stop and stand. You are pretty steady on your feet and I'm certain you will be my first baby to walk before age 1. You also love playing toys. You can sit in a room of toys and entertain yourself for long period of time. This past month you have also learned to wave, high five, and clap. You say Mama and baba consistently and with intent. You also do a barking noise for dog. If no one is looking you will splash in the dogs bowl, empty the bathroom trash, or dump all the cereal on the floor. You eat a ton. I think you'll have a growth spurt here soon because despite being tiny, your hands and feet are big and you eat so much. You are still a great baby. You really never cry unless left alone. You take two naps and go right down. No song and dance needed. You like being held, you're pretty much bald and have no teeth. You have the cutest laugh especially when your belly gets kissed and still kick your feet when excited. You love other babies and waving to them. I think you'll be a social kiddo some day. Collin, words don't express how much I love you. In this crazy house we call a home I hope you feel loved and know that I am so blessed to be your mommy.
