Collin is ONE!

My sweet little baby is already ONE! You guys. This isn't real life. People have always said how quickly your kids grow up, but I always thought that was mostly just an expression. He wasn't supposed to grow THIS fast. It was definitely a bitter-sweet day. I love this little guy more than anything in the entire world!

For his July 3rd birthday, I was so grateful that Jared and I were able to take the day off from our jobs. It was such a special day!

We started the day off by going to the waffle truck for a late breakfast. Collin definitely enjoyed it.

Then we went to Collin's favorite place--the new aquarium. I would've been okay with a few hundred less people [come on people, it's been open for several months already!], but Bubba didn't seem to mind!

After an attempt at his afternoon nap [who wants to nap on their birthday?!], we went to our friends Daniel's & Chelsea's place to go swimming...

...and to run around a massive park. That was probably his favorite! Running around without Mama or Daddy having to chase him down.  :)

Sweet Baby Toddler had such a fun birthday! It was such a magical day. I love you Bubba!

Next stop,  birthday partayyy!
