Our growing boy

"Colby listening intently to Liz."

I know that face...it's the face he makes when he says "Peeeeaaassssssssseeeeeeee" (Please)

Mmmmmm, watermellon!!!

See my new "cawwwww!!"

Colby listening to momma the other day when we went out to dinner.

Here are some recent pictures of our boy. He's changing from a baby to a little boy lately. At least for me, it's his ability to start to express himself with simply words and the fact that's he's more independent with his scooting around the room on his butt.

In just a couple more weeks, our little guy will be 2!!!! Amazing how time flies!

We continue to feel soooooooooooooo thankful for his progress. Thinking back to all the days in the NICU, all the things we read and heard about a grade 3 brain bleed and hydrocephalus, ROP, G-tubes, C.P., etc....to think of all that could have happened, we are just so thankful that our little guy is doing so well!

He continues to add onto his vocabulary. Still one word at a time for the most part.

We visted the NICU the other day. It's great to see the people who played such an important role in our lives.

Trip to Cape, July 2009

Pictures from a trip to the Cape last week.

Watch out ladies....

Here comes the Colbster!

Tracey brought Colby to a Jamboree last week with Liz and her daughter Caitlin. He loves music and seeing other kids. You can see him dancing with his arms, scooching around on his butt and having fun with some girls that came over to see him.

Colby vs the flu

The last week or so has been a long one. Colby started throwing up last Sunday. Because he has a shunt in his head, whenever he starts throwing up, has a fever, gets lethargic, we need to first rule out that it's not his shunt. It's hard because those are all the signs of the common flu, which kids get. But with him, we first need to ensure that all is well with his head. So, off to the ER we went Sunday evening. Long story short, turned out to just be the flu. It put our little guy out for a couple days. Then it turned into a nasty cough. But now, he's back to his happy little self.

He continues to expand his vocabulary, often trying to repeat what he hears. I love hearing is little voice babble or try to put words together!

Colby and Hamilton Playing Ball

Here's our talkative little boy. He calls Hamilton "Good Boy".

Finally, some videos
