October 17th was a bittersweet day. This last year has been so amazing for Steve and I and we can't even imagine our lives without Brecken, but it has gone by so quickly. I just think, wow, we only have 17 more years until he is out of the house and that just doesn't seem long enough. I am sure once he hits his teenage years it won't come fast enough but for now, we just love our little "nugget" and cherish all of the time we get to spend with him. His smiles and cuddles just light up our family.
Brecken turned the big O-N-E on the 17th. He had a great weekend full of celebrations. On Saturday the 16th we had a fun little party for him at our house. He had a great time playing with all the kids and trying out his cake. He wasn't a big cake eater but had fun playing with the frosting.
After I smashed the cake in his face and had him sit on it, we rinsed him off in the sink so he could get back down on the floor and play with his friends.
He had lots of little helpers to get his wonderful presents unwrapped. He is now loving all of his new toys and constantly is giggling with excitement to play with them. Thank you to everyone for helping to make Brecken's first birthday so special.
B has a love affair going with the vacuum. Great for me, so I can vacuum when he is up, but he chases it around like crazy. He always is hugging the canister and standing by it when I leave it out for him to play with. I keep telling him that when he is old enough, he will regret it because vacuuming will become his chore. It is so cute how he gets so excited about it that I takeit out just for fun sometimes!
Finger painting is so much fun. He loves to squish the paints around the paper, and himself. We frame his artwork and hang it in his room. Our own little Picasso...
1 year down and many more happy moments to go. Thank you for you, Brecken. We love you.
We took B to Red Robin on his birthday. He loved his fries and cantaloupe but what he was super excited about was his balloon that they brought him. They sang to him, which he just stared at them the whole time, no emotion, and about 30 seconds after they were done and had walked away he clapped....we are pretty sure for himself!!!! He tried some ice cream but didn't seem too interested. Is this kid really mine, where is his sweet tooth?!?!
We got to turn his car seat around. This is a big deal, he has never been the biggest fan of his car seat but now is thrilled to see where we are going instead of where we just were.
A few cute little cake shots of him at his birthday party.
