Tommorow Collin will turn 3 and I cannot believe it.  It seems like just yesterday he was born...well, really, that he wasn't more than a dream.  He is so fun.  Every day we think how blessed we are and wonder what we did before we had him b/c he makes our lives so full.  

While he is certainly at a stage where he's testing his limits (and, therefore, testing my patience), he is so much fun.  It is really cool to see him grow and change.  His vocab has really taken off in the last month and, thankfully, his enunciation has improved as well.  He's always been a talker but I feel like I literally have a constant commentary on life.  People joke that he talks from the moment he wakes up until the moment he falls asleep but, while they are joking, it's not that far from the truth.

We have the 3 yr well check next week and I'll be very interested to see how much he's grown and where he sits on the growth chart.  I don't think about it too much but sometimes when I look at him he just seems so much bigger than the day before.  As he's always been on the small side I'd love to see him come a little closer to avg.  

This past Sat we had his bday party and despite a lot of worrying on my part it turned out really well.  Things are still pretty weird w/family and I initially thought that no one would come but he had lots of friends and some family there and had a blast.  While it was a lot of work to get together (mostly b/c we waited to the last minute - it really snuck up on us) it was worth it b/c it was, hands down, his best party to date.  Just to see the smiles on his face and the excitement in his voice made our days.  A few pics from Collin's party and bday celebrations are posted above (b/c I'm too stupid to figure out how to get them at the bottom).

Happy Bday to my FAVORITE boy!!!!  I love you!!!!
