Kobe had a great time with many of his cousins in town. I think he misses them because he likes to run around in Mom's backyard pretending like he is chasing someone or racing someone to one of his favorite toys (the yellow and red car). It was fun to have a few other siblings in town and enjoy some memories.

We celebrated Kobe's first birthday!!!!!! We held it at Grandma and Grandpa Payne's house on December the 18th. The theme was Mickey Mouse Club House. I made the cake and icing from scratch... which was a total pain in the butt, but was well worth it. Some of Chris' family came from Los Angeles (his mom, grandma, two aunts, and his nephew). I had a few friends of mine come as well, and of course some of my family (mom, dad, Cassi, Lyndsi, Justin, and Brandon). Good thing I held the party inside, because it was poring rain the entire time. He got lots of great gifts. He got a cell phone from Lyndsi and her kids (which is great because he always tries to steal mine). She got him another present (a toy with one wheel that plays music when you roll it back and forth) as well, but mom got the same exact thing so one of them stays at moms house for all the kids to play with... haha! He also got a Thomas the Train flash light, a couple of books, and lots of new clothes (which I love of course). Thank you all that came to help celebrate Kobe's First Year!! We can't believe he is ONE already!!!!!!!

HALLOWEEN 2010

Halloween 2010

We had lots and lots of fun at Kobe's first pumpkin patch. I was lucky to get a few pics with him actually looking at the camera. He had so much to look at and most of my pics are of the sides and back of his head.

This is a 30-second clip of Kobe laughing at Cassi for over 2 minutes straight. It was soooooo funny. He laughed continuously until Mom said something, then he stopped and just looked at her. If he could talk, he would have said, "Be quiet Grandma... I'm laughing with Cassi here!!"

Kobe is just chillin in his car seat. I keep forgeting to cut the little cat (or whatever it is) off of his right pad because he chewed the other one off months ago. Oops!

One of Kobe's favorite times is bath time! He HAS to chew on his brush or a wash cloth the entire time he is in the bath!
