One Year Young!


I can't believe the time has already come to celebrate our little man's first year of life! This past year has been nothing short of incredible. We have seen creation first hand and the Lord's grace, faithfulness, and goodness through this little life.  It has been the best year of our lives thus far, and we are so grateful for the gift of this little boy.

We celebrated Brayden this weekend and it was so much fun! I can't wait to get the pictures back and post them!

So what is this little man up to at 12 months, 1 year?!  A lot!

Earlier this month he mastered standing, getting up and down on his own, and he is SO proud of himself for it.  We started cheering for him (clapping and saying yay) to try and encourage him to stay up because he is so cautious and to take steps, and so now he cheers for himself when he stands (which is all the time).  He also took some steps this month which was so exciting, walking I'm sure is just around the corner!  He is just very cautious at the moment about the whole idea, haha.

He talks SO much.  He can say 20+ words, and he surprises us almost daily with new words when we ask him to say something.  It is SO cute to hear him talk.  He has started saying "what's that" and pointing to most everything--SO SO adorable!

He loves to dance to music, so funny to watch, and of course so cute.  He loves being outside doing anything, playing in the water, playing ball, exploring, playing in the sand, going to the park, going for a walk...he could be outside 24/7.  And he loves balls, bubbles, balloons, and blocks (something about the letter "b"?!).  

He loves other kids, especially kids who are a few years older than him, watching them is just so exciting.  

He is still a mama's boy which I absolutely adore.  Hearing him call for me, never gets old. And he has gotten more and more cuddly lately which is the best!

His top molars popped through right before his first birthday, so he officially has 10 teeth, with 2 more on the way (I think).  And is still in both the 90% for weight and height.  He eats great and sleeps well (most of the time :)). 

He is just so much fun right now, we are loving every second.  And we are so excited to see what the Lord does in his life this second year!!  Happy first birthday sweetness, you stole our hearts, and do everyday!
