Kolden's FIRST Birthday!

Kolden just had his first birthday! He has eight teeth, four on top and four on bottom and his smile is enchanting. He loves to laugh and he has recently really started to crawl and follow everyone around the house. (We are having his pelvis x-rayed because he acts like it hurts when he tries to stand or put weight on his legs. His muscles are not as developed as they should be in his legs so we will have some tests done to rule out anything like MS or MD.)
Kolden loves to sing and tries to sing along with whatever we are singing. He says dada and mom, GO! and "uh-oh". He tries to say love and more. He is a very independent eater and will only eat if he can feed it to himself.
Kolden LOVES his sister's attention and wants to be involved in whatever the family is doing. He gives loves by cuddling in a close hug when he is sleepy and if you are lucky then his "kiss" is when he puts his cheek up to your cheek and says "ahhh" or he will touch his forehead to your forehead. He loves to follow me to the kitchen and play with wooden spoons and pans. All his toys have a grunting or car noise. He is such a fun boy!
We made two cakes, one for the Cheesman's like best - the banana cream cake and a chocolate ice cream cake that Cottam's like best.
This is Aunt Ashley with sweet baby Zoe. She is so cute and Kolden will have fun playing with her as they grow up.

Kiera gets her turn to take a picture with Kolden.
Cake time! Haylee, Daycee, Hallie, Ben, Cloee and Zoe were there to help celebrate!
Kolden liked the fire and all the kids were eager to help him blow out his candle.
Kolden preferred the chocolate cake. He wears it well.
Hooray for cake!
After we cleaned him up Grandma Creta and Grandpa Brian gave him presents, so did Grandma Beth.
Sisters and Mom and Dad gave him presents at home. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOLDEN!!!!
