Coltin turns 1 year old

Our grandson, Coltin, lives in Missouri with his parents and we don't see him near enough but we did go down for his first birthday. Hard to believe he's one year old now!

He's toddling around very well, but still likes to hold legs. He did surprisingly well with us considering we hadn't seen him since he was 3 months old!

He loved swinging. . .

. . .and riding on his daddy's shoulders. . .

. . .and tasting rocks.

This is his bestest friend, Deacon, also one year old.

They grow too fast!

These will be the last photos of Cole you’ll see for a while since I’m not sure when we’ll get to run down to Joplin again. These were taken a couple of weeks ago when he was one week old. But these were some of my favorites. I’m so proud of Marissa, looks like she’s going to be a good mom.  (BTW, Marissa's 18th birthday was yesterday - Happy Birthday Rissa!)

If you missed out on any of the photos of our newest grandson just poke right here and enjoy the set.

Cole Overload

Aren’t baby piggies the best? These are one week old piggies, still slightly wrinkly and perfect!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Or maybe not.

It’s daddy’s job to burp baby Cole.

Then mama admires him some more.

Uh-oh, it’s time for a diaper change and the weeing on dad moments.

Clean diaper and Cole is happy once more. He’s still so young that he hasn’t lost his umbilical cord. It amazed me that he liked to be so stretched out, often newborns like to stay in balls.

This is one of my favorites, Dennis handed the 5D to his daughter and she snapped a few photos of her baby. What I like about this photo is that Cole’s eyes are open and he seems to be looking at his mom and asking her why she looks so funny.

It was fun watching dad with the baby too. He smiled so much when he looked at his son.

Do you like his little tuxedo? He’s ready for the ball.

Tiny fingers are just as precious as itty bitty piggies!
