Colby's New Words

I deserved this one...

Fall Fun with Friends!

We went to Cedarburg's Wine and Harvest Festival this weekend to meet our dear friends. Let me tell you, getting 1 year olds to sit still on a bale of hay is hard work! ;-) This event is a must-do for everyone. It was so fun!

New Friends!

Colby has met some buddies in Villa Park. Look at our fun at the Oktoberfest last weekend with his friends!

Colby turns 1 year old!

It was hard to believe that Colby honored us with his arrival one year ago on August 8, 2009. It feels like a lot has happened since then, but at the same time, like it was yesterday when he fit in my forearm. We had a wonderful celebration to commemorate #1 at our new home. Enjoy the pics!

Colby's First Birthday

Discoveries

This summer, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Colby experience many "firsts." To watch him discover these simple things with such awe and excitement is humbling. We should all take a moment and watch a baby experience a "first." It will really change your outlook on life.

Croquet is the best!

Stairs, look at me go!

My Reflection! Playing with him is fun!

Summer Lovin', Had Me a Blast...

We have been VERY busy this summer! We celebrated the Blackhawks win, moved, went to Omaha for a week, and are now settling into our new home.

Here are links to our summer albums:

Colby's Chicago Tour

We are less than two weeks away from our move to the suburbs, so Joe thought it would be a great idea to capture some moments of Colby near all the famous sports and historical Chicago landmarks. We left our house at 6:45 am this morning to ensure crowd-free photo opps! Enjoy the album or take a quick peek at some of the pics below. Happy Memorial Day!
