My Little Family: 11 Months Old! First STEPS!

Colin turned 11 months old yesterday. Which means... 1 more month until his birthday!! I have made his birthday invitations and I can't wait to send them out! Still debating whether we have enough room to invite some friends for Colin to play with. I can't wait! He took his first steps last week on Jan 11! He had been standing more and more without holding on lately so I had a feeling it was going to come soon. We were in the hallway and I was standing up while Kevin was sitting on the floor. Colin was standing up holding onto my leg when he let go and stood there. I jokingly said "walk to daddy" so Kevin held his arms out and called for Colin. Colin out of no where started walking over to Kevin. We were so excited! I really didn't expect him to do that, and when he did he looked so happy and excited and wanted to do it over and over! I know every parent says it, but I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I really feel like I was just pregnant yesterday, and now I almost have a 1 year old! I can't wait for his 1 year check up because I'm sure Colin will be full on walking by then and he can show his doctor. :-)

We have had a couple play dates the last few days. A friend of mine that I hadn't seen since high school has a little boy a few months younger than Colin. We met up for lunch on Friday and then Colin and I went over to Charise's to visit her and Luke on Saturday. Colin has a lot of fun interacting with other babies!
