Braden is 1!!!

Wow! Our baby boy, who is technically a TODDLER now, is 1 year old! We had a wonderful day with him yesterday and I went right from when I got up at 7AM until we went to bed at 10:30. Just decorating, baking, cooking, cleaning I didn't stop. But here is his new giraffe picture:



Weight: 21 lbs 3 oz
Length: 29.5"

So new Braden stuff this last month include...
  • crawling faster and faster, no interest at all in walking on his own...so we are enjoying that while it lasts! :)
  • signing very consistently "done" when done with food, playing, and apparently stories (more on that later!)
  • plays "so big"
  • shakes his head "no" and knows what it means - very cute!
  • says "night night" and waves, sometimes says "night night Dada" to Jay
  • he waves when he is done with anything, wants people to go away, or wants to nap - also very cute!
  • can sing with us "la la la, na na na, ba ba ba" sounds and is good at repeating!
  • very good at steering his push walker and can get around anywhere with it now
  • drinking from a straw 
  • says "Daddy"
  • uses anything as a walker - chairs, toys...you name it!
  • still loves to eat, but definitely not a bottomless pit like he used to be!
  • he gets eczema on his legs if he eats eggs too many days in a row, so we only do that once in awhile now.
  • likes to go on sled rides
  • still really loves animals
  • has a new bedtime routine: nurses (if I'm home), reads a story, and goes to bed
  • he is VERY attached to his soft, minkee giraffe blankie from Marie & Olivia
  • still taking 2 solid naps a day, no sign of cutting that down to 1 nap anytime soon
  • sleeps usually 12-13 hours a night
I was too weary to post on Braden's actual birthday yesterday, but I have more stuff to blog about, hopefully later today after his party!

  2. That's okay, Laura! I'm glad you guys made it at all...it was looking pretty bleak for awhile there. We have an extra cupcake for Lukey and he can come claim it anytime! ;)
