Colin's 1 Year Old!

Colin turned 1 on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011. It was a very hectic day, we journeyed to the doctor's office where we found out he had an ear infection. The 1 year shots were delayed and we began his medication. That afternoon, when I was taking Colin to daycare we swerved to miss a cat that ran out in front of us, and we skid into the median and took out a wrong way sign. Ending the trip to daycare. Baby was fine, Mommy was fine, the car is going to be in the shop for about 2 weeks now. GEICO did a great job of taking care of the details-towing, rental, shop. That same day Mommy wasn't feeling to good either, considered making a doctor appointment for herself, but didn't. Ended up going Friday and the doctor told Colin and Mommy that she had Strep Throat. Boo, hoo. Both of us are on Amoxicillin and are on the mend. Grandpa Chase, Grandma (Ju Ju) Chase, Aunt Erin and Uncle Dan drove out from Indy on Friday. When they arrived the baby was sleeping so we all hung out for a bit then turned in to get some sleep for Saturday. We had planned on some cupcakes and snacks. A couple of friends showed up to wish Colin a Happy Birthday! He was very thankful that people dropped by and he is interested in opening the toys! Colin loved the cupcake, the candle threw him off a bit. The whole family just hung out the rest of the day and we ordered California Tortilla for dinner. After an interesting Team Trivial Pursuit we turned in again. Mommy was in need of some rest. Sunday after waking early, making some yummy Apple Streusel Archer Farms Pancakes Colin and I took a nap. When we woke up Uncle Dan wanted to visit the Air and Space Museum. We all packed into the cars and drove downtown. It was a nice time in that museum and before we headed home we jumped over to the Native American Museum, only looked through the top floor so I am intrigued to go back and see some more. The family ordered pizza while we watched the Super Bowl. It was a short visit but it was great to see my family.
To my little boy, who is so grown up now, I love you and I am so excited to be on your life journey with you! I can't wait to see what you will learn next!
Love to all! Amanda
p.s. I will post some photos later, grad school is kinda getting in the way!
