Grandma time

Colby has enjoyed spending time with both of his Grandmothers this week. One day he will realize how fortunate he is as he has one Great Grandmother and one Great Grandfather and has enjoyed several days (with more to come hopefully) where both Grandmothers have been with him at the same time.

Hello Santa!

Colby met Santa Claus (and his wife, too) for the first time.  Unlike many other children ahead of him Colby enjoyed the experience and now anxiously awaits learning more about this bearded man in the days and weeks to come.

A short weekend

The highlight from a short weekend was our Friday night covenant group dinner. We hosted and served stuffed peppers expertly made by Fairway Market Stamford.




Colby now has a corral to play in while Mommy and Daddy get ready for work in the morning. He is becoming increasingly mobile.



We learned today that the gate must be closed otherwise Colby will crawl out to join his parents wherever they may be.

A Weekend of Firsts

Colby tasted a real banana for the first time Sunday morning.  He ate but didn't exactly seem to enjoy.  He seemed not to know what to do with the banana once it was in his mouth.  Ashley and I will keep working with him on this as we introduce other foods in the days to come.

For another first, Colby was a guest at a birthday party for the first time on Saturday afternoon.  He enjoyws playing with the other guests and came home with a nice goody bag.

Plenty of smiles in the Welker household this weekend

Colby's grandparents from Hickory, NC visited for three days.  

Teeth

We were curious why Colby's cheeks were so red.  Our investigation showed us that his teeth are beginning to arrive!!

Colby's First Halloween - Part 2

Colby now has two Halloween party's under his belt!

When Mommy and Daddy saw snow falling on October 29 they had to ask each other if this was trick or treat!  It turned out to be a treat as we had a great day in the company of each other and many friends.

Colby's First Halloween

Colby was invited to two Halloween party's.  These pictures are from the first.  His costume is the Clemson Tiger, mascot to the alma mater of his Grandfather.  

A father and son day

Colby did a terrific job supervising his Daddy mow the grass on Saturday.

We then came inside and played.
