Colby Turns One in the Sun!

Colby had a lot of firsts in Florida including turning One! We had a little party and were able to celebrate with our family down south. It was a lot of fun and the first birthday we've celebrated in their neck of the woods for quite a while.

Colby and his birthday cupcake -- yum!

Gram was a super star making his awesome whale cake which she kept a surprise for me for weeks and all the decordations. When we were growing up she always made our birthday cakes. I had quite a few Barbie doll cakes with the barbie inside and the cake Barbie's dress, they were sooo cute! I just loved those cakes!

Colby liked playing with his new friends, Pyper and Addi, he's definitely not shy and they weren't either which was so cute.

Colby was interested in his birthday cupcake but didn't quite dive in like I thought he would. But he did manage to make a mess just as you're supposed to do on your 1st birthday!

Colby didn't quite get opening presents but he had a lot of help from his big brother and friends. Chase loved opening Colby's presents and often thought those presents were his and that it was his birthday. I had to remind him that it was Colby's birthday and that he could help him open the gifts. Thankfully a few of our party guests brought Chase a gift or two as well (thanks Uncle Matt & Aunt Casey, Aunt Sandy, and Aunt JJ)! 

And thanks to Uncle Matt who played ball with Chase throughout the day to keep him busy! Uncle Matt's prepared to be Chase's agent one day. He was quite impressed with Chase's baseball skills, Izzy was, too!
