HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY!

January 31, 2010

ONE YEAR OLD!!! Is time really supposed to go by this fast?!? Brian has grown so much! He now weighs 22 lbs 14 oz and is 28 inches long! He is growing perfectly and we really have a little eater on our hands! We have yet to find a food that he does not like! And he wants whatever mommy and daddy are eating! He LOVES vegetable soup, mandarin oranges, bananas, and yes, Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets!! (But who doesn't like Chick-fil-A?!?!)

Brian has decided that he's just not ready to walk yet - he much rather super-crawl (this kid is FAST) and climb on everything! He'll walk around all day, holding someone's hand, but he's not decided yet that he wants to let go and do it on his own! However, we're pretty sure it won't be long and we definitely get all the exercise we need chasing him around the house and going up and down the stairs several times a day!!

He is saying more words now - mama, dada, nana, aw-duh (all done!), uh-oh (that's his favorite!), and he likes to say "baba" even though it's for nothing in particular! He LOVES music and likes to dance and "sing"! We were blessed with a scholarship for Kindermusik and he absolutely loves going to the classes each Friday! He also really like storytime at the library and continues to LOVE books (yea!!!). Brian loves to go for walks in his red wagon, and if it's raining or too cold outside, mommy and daddy get to pull him around the house in his wagon!!!

Brian got a really special treat for his birthday this year - SNOW!!! We got to play in the snow ALL weekend! We postponed his party for all his friends for next weekend, but we had a BLAST with Nana K, Papa G, Uncle Andrew, Grammy, Poppy, Mimi, FAB (Fun Aunt Beth) and BUB (Brian's Uncle Brian) all able to be here for the weekend!!! Grammy made his birthday cake and it was YUMMY! Mommy made the decorations and daddy made some AWESOME vegetable soup and we made grilled cheese sandwiches!!!

SUCH A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!!!



Can I eat the balloons, too?!?!

Mommy helped me blow out my candle!

It look a minute for Brian to realize he really could put his hands in the icing!!

This is GOOD stuff!

So much fun!!

That's a BIG bite!!

Brian got LOTS of great presents for his birthday! He had a lot of fun opening the gifts and pulling the tissue paper out of the bags!! We're not sure what his favorite present is yet, but we know Mommy's is the BUBBLES!!!

Clothes from Mimi! I'm gonna be stylin'!!

A Lifetime Hunting & Fishing License from Poppy and Grammy!!

Grammy & Poppy gave me a Giraffe Guitar Band to play with now!!

Are those MY bubbles, Mommy?!

I CAN GET THEM!!!

How does this thing work?

I GOT IT!!!

Nana K and Papa G got me my Kindermusik set!!!
Brian had a great birthday!!! Aunt Amy sent mommy a whole set of Arbonne Baby Care products and FAB and BUB got Brian a picture frame, pajamas, and a toy helicopter (that FAB gave him early because she couldn't wait!!). All in all, it was the best 1st birthday ever!!!

Can we go back outside?!?

Such a GREAT birthday!!

Fun Times!

Brian is a very busy little boy!! We have so much fun watching him explore, learn, and grow! Here are a few pictures of all that he is into these days!!

Helping Mommy clean!!
