Happy 4th Birthday Colin!

Colin, I cannot believe you are 4 already!  

It seems like just yesterday I brought you home from the hospital as a little tiny 6lb 12oz baby.  

You were so tiny and sweet and precious!  We stayed up late every night for three weeks because you refused to sleep in your bassinet.  Ok, who am I kidding?  We didn't stay up late, we stayed up ALL night!  I should have known then that you would be just as stubborn as your mommy!  

You LOVE to "petend" and use your "'magination".  You can play pirates and Ninja Turtles for hours!  You LOVE cake and it's your main reason for wanting to go to birthday parties now.  

You also love swimming at the pool!  This summer you have become quite the fish and you are even swimming without your floaties.  You actually swam across the entire pool on a noodle yesterday.  While I loved watching you do that and seeing the excitement in your face, I must admit, it did make me tear up a little.  My baby is growing up and FAST! 

This year we had a "real" birthday party for you with friends and all!  You loved every single minute of it!  Blowing out the candles was your favorite part! 

Colie Wallie - I love you so very much!  I am so happy that God blessed me with you.  Your strong willed personality reminds me how much we are alike each day.  Your little gap toothed smile melts my heart and when you say, "I lub you" - well I am pretty much DONE!  Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
