One Year Old!!

Big B turned one year old yesterday.  He has been nothing but a joy to this family since the day he was born.  He is easy going and puts up with a lot of attention from his siblings!  He LOVES them so much and goes for hugs when they come home from school, especially his big brother Mr. M.  At his one year appt. he was 24 lbs. and 32 inches.  He loves to eat ice and when we turn on music or sing he shakes his head back and forth to the music.  He crawled and sat up at 6 months, walked at 9 months, and can say only "uh-oh" and "all done." He loves to run around outside, play in the sand box and go for walks.  He loves to play ball with the kids, especially when he is at the top of the stairs and he throws it down for them to toss it back up.  He is happy and smiling all the time and is so busy that the only time he is still is when he is asleep.  WE LOVE THIS BOY!!  Happy Birthday Big B!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Dad was out of town for his birthday so he tuned in via Skype.  Big B was focused on him the whole time.

We had to keep him from touching the candle!

"Chocolate cake is soooo good!!  Who knew!"

A new football!!

A super cute note from Baby R.  She made him three cards and gave him two of her treasures.  The card says, "To: Baby Brian, I think you are right handed...geez Brian (she is a lefty and wants someone else to be a lefty too).  You fill my heart with love"  She is so cute!

These were her treasures that she wanted to give to Big B.  She saw that the book had a picture of a birthday party on the last page and decided that book would be a good present to go with Eeyore (which she has been saving for weeks now just to give to her little brother, so thoughtful!!)
