Baby Days Fading

We are so excited every time Colby learns a new word or forms a new sentence. Although this phase of him saying, "No!" all the time isn't our favorite! ;) He also says, "I want it" a lot!

Colby is becoming such a toddler as he is starting to run, jump, and climb up into his high chair himself. He kneels for prayer and folds his cute little arms. Last night he repeated a sentence as John said our family prayer. It's funny how he will surprise us with a random sentence here and there. 

He loves anything farm...his farm books, singing "i-i-i-i-i-" (e-i-e-i-o), tractors, and saying "mooooo" and also loves the train by our house and saying, "choo-choo!" Speaking of which he loves watching "Thomas the Train", "Daniel Tigers Neighborhood", "Curious George", "Baby Einstein" and "Mickey Mouse". 

He says, "meow", "ruff ruff", "rawr" (for lion) , "Ooo Ooo" (for monkey), raises his arm imitating an elephant, and smacks his lip to imitate a fish. He likes to say, "ball"...he definitely came ALL boy which is fun. I remember being surprised when he started making "roooom" noises as he pushes his little cars...something no one taught him and just came naturally. He has quite the imagination already and turns anything he can into a truck as he makes the "roooom" sound. Oh he also loves to see the garbage truck come on Thursday mornings. 

Colby is allergic to cows milk (a rash will cover his back and tummy), loves tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, eggs, avocado,  ranch, ranch, and ranch, cereal, toast, and suckers. I have to limit the dairy though...his eczema is the worse with milk, but I see little spots appear when he has too much dairy.

We recently inherited a little potty (actually two) from Aunt Jaime. Colby loves it which brings us hope that potty training won't be so bad. He goes potty in it when he wakes up and goes to bed. If he doesn't want to, I don't push it because I want him to have a positive attitude towards it. He's adorable on that little thing and it makes music if he goes.

Being a goof at the store...he loves to run after me in stores or
push the cart with me

Hehe, he loves it! 

I caught him working on Dada's dirt bike..he even got a screwdriver
out...makes me a little nervous to have him stand so close to it so
I had him come inside

Toddlerhood has begun... 

Cleaning the crayon off and he loved cleaning it so much
he drew on the desk after I tried teaching him we only color in
the coloring book! Then he ran back to the laundry room, grabbed the
magic eraser and started cleaning it again..stinker! :)

Morning snuggles

He's clearly mine

Happy boy after he gets a good nap

Loving his new play room stickers and can point to anything
you ask

Turn your back for a minute and bam...all the wipes pulled out

and soggy toilet paper

I love these moments of quiet time

Loves FaceTime with family

We say bye bye to Daddy almost every week day 

...and Colby is always sad when he's gone

As much as he has grown, he still loves his bottle and being rocked to bed. He takes a 2+ hour nap every afternoon and is the king of gibberish talk!

We love you Colby Steven so so much!! Thank you for bringing happiness and laughter to our daily lives.
