summer firsts

For most of last summer, Colden was still a newborn. He seemed far to little and fragile to experiment with. This summer however, trying new things are his jam. Every day this kid experiences a brand new first. Here are a season's worth of photos chronicling Colden's summer adventures so far. Enjoy.

WATER BABY

Look at that belly! Colden finally outgrew something!

SMILES IN THE PARK

Don't let this sweet smirk fool you, Colden still hates the swing.

Post farmers' market picnic with daddy and blueberries: two of Colden's favorite things.

Look at me, mommy!

Going down this bumpy slide with Grandma = lots of guaranteed giggles.

Whose idea was it to dress him in white pants? Bottoms be gone.

Happily using his NUK brush...

FIRST DENTIST APT

It's wild to think of how fast time is passing, and how much Colden has grown this summer alone. I'm so thankful we have such a beautiful and healthy little boy. I cherish all of the family firsts we've been lucky enough to experience together and cannot wait for what's in store.
