1 Year Old (and 2 weeks!)




2 weeks ago my sweet little baby turned one! It was a bitter sweet weekend for me. I also had to go back to work the Monday after his birthday so to say I was a bit emotional would be an understatement haha. There were quite a few tears shed by me. But it was a lot of fun! We had a little birthday party for him with a few of his baby friends and had a really good time. He is growing up so fast! Here are a few things about Brady at 1 year old! (And then a huge picture overload!)


  • Finally sleeps all night for 11-12 hours! 
  • Started napping just once a day. Now he will nap for at least an hour instead of two 20 min naps! 
  • Still loves to be outside and go for walks. And LOVES his new trike he got for his birthday.
  • Really likes the swings and is starting to crawl around the rest of the park and test out the slides
  • Likes the spray park
  • Favourite foods are Raspberries, fruit/veggie squeezies, Grilled Cheese, Mac and Cheese, just cheese in general haha
  • Favourite snacks are Gerber puffs, arrowroot cookies, goldfish, teddy grahams and the occasional bite of ice cream
  • Favourite book is called "That's My Daddy" It's the only book that he will let me read to him all the way through every time we pull it out. 
  • Likes it when I take his finger and point to things and name them.
  • Can take a few steps on his own here and there but is not full on walking yet. He is getting close though! 
  • Does his scrunched up nose face all the time. He thinks its pretty funny!
  • Knows how to fake laugh and fake cough
  • Is always so happy and on the move. He is started to get to a point where he will sit and relax for a minute or two, but generally he is go, go, go!
I could say a million things about this little boy. I am totally in love with him and am enjoying every second I get to spend with him!

His party was Mickey Mouse themed

The last minute cake I made him to smash up. He HATED getting the icing on his hands!
