My youngest baby turned one today! Technically, he doesn't actually hit the one year mark until 11:39- at this point last year we were just chilling in the hospital room awaiting his arrival. He was so timely, waited for me to finish Fall conferences, but didn't make me suffer through yet another day of work in my largely watermelon-shaped pregnant state.

| Colby's first Cy-Hawk showdown. Like I said, I'll let my kids dress in Hawkeye gear every year if that means the Cyclones win, which they did this year! |
 |
| This little boy L-O-V-E-S the bathtub, which is perfect for when I'm getting ready some mornings and he chooses to be an early riser. He prefers water, but he'll roll around in there without it, too. :) |
 |
| Colby saw his first trip to the ER before officially turning the big ONE. Long story short- random symptoms from his cold and a sprained ankle led the doctors to believe he could possibly have an infection in his joints and therefore they wanted us to come in right away, which happened to be a Friday night. We had some great bonding time and he was a trooper. Plus, we learned he doesn't have an infection! |

| This sight is always terrifying and hilarious at the same time because I swear she's going to body slam him... |
 |
| ...but as long as she gives him a ride in the box he doesn't mind. |
 |
| By the way, look at these two one year later! |
 |
| At one year of age Colby is weighing in at 19lb 5oz, and he has 6 and a half teeth (there's a molar growing in on the top left). He enjoys throwing things in the trash and the toilet, pulling all the toilet paper off the roll, removing every bakeware item I have in the lower kitchen cabinets, and climbing on everything. |
 |
| His first birthday cupcake was eaten like this: poke, lick the finger, poke, lick the finger, grab, smash it in his mouth. |
 | | |
| He's smiling because he's just been told he needs to take a tubby to get the chocolate off of him! |
|
To close out: monthly pictures, which I realized I somehow missed at 3 months- don't judge me! Just enjoy how much he's changed, I can't believe how he's grown. We and his big sister couldn't imagine a day without him here.
