Just like Dad

Just relaxin' watching TV. 

Aye Aye Captain!

     Colby has two honorary godparents, our best friends, Lucas and Destiny. We are not Catholic so they have no real rights to care for him if anything was to happen to us.  They seem happy about that.  On this day Lucas took us all sailing.  It was an awesome day to spend together.  I didn't get a picture of Lucas with Colby. Guess we'll all have to go again! 

A Little Giggle

He's starting to laugh more and more.  He loves to watch Dozer and squeal at him.

Teething Much?

A pine cone? Really? 

Great Grandpa Dyk

Colbs got to meet a pretty important guy this day, his Great-Grandpa Dyk.  With an extra treat of visiting Aunt Ang ( she's much too young to have a great inserted) and Kaden.  Kaden was sharing some tips on how to be a boy at the farm. 

Six Months

Dear Colby,

     Six months ago you came to us.  I feel like we just brought you home then I woke up and BAM, 6 months old.  You are extremely easy going and just. Happy.  Now that it is summer we are going to a million places and doing crazy things with Callen and Addison.  And you just fit in. Take naps at the beach, hang in the shade at the park, gazing around the Pacific Science Center or watching the kids at the jumpy house.  You make my life easy and I feel the blessing. 
     I have never been a morning person.  I am angry in the morning and I do not wish to speak to anyone for a good 15 minutes or before my first sip of coffee.  When I hear you in the morning, I am tired.  7:00 am seems to come so early.  I can't even fathom the memory of waking up at three and five am anymore even though it was only a couple of months ago.  I walk into your room and there you are...smiling.  Patiently waiting to be picked up and to start your day.  How can I not be a morning person now that I have you???  Your sweet smile illuminates my spirit.

     You started getting frustrated the past few weeks.  You see something you want but can't seem to reach it. You do a funny little squeal.  Don't worry. You will crawl soon enough to get it yourself but trust me, you have endless years ahead of you to become frustrated on not getting what you want.  You started sitting up on your own. For about 10-15 seconds before you fall and we laugh.  Your laugh. The sweetest sound I have ever heard. You do this thing where you take a deep breath and then giggle more.  Half the time you can't breathe because you're laughing so hard.  I hope you go through life laughing. You are our heart sweet sweet sweet Colby bear.
