Brant is 1!

I can't believe my baby is one year old now. I know I went a little overboard on the pictures for the post, but what can I say....MY BABY IS 1. As far as celebrating goes, we decided to do a cake and presents in Idaho right before we left to come back since Jared is in California this week and we wanted him to be there. So, my mom made a fabulous cake and Brant opened a few presents that he loved. Brants actual birthday was today and the kids wanted to make his day special, so they really went out of their way to play with him and make his day fun. They also made him chocolate chip cookies to celebrate. So, here are all my recent pictures of my sweetheart. Gosh, I love this kid!

As far as what Brant is doing, I'll try to make a list.
-Brant loves to play and wrestle, especially with Mason -Brant loves to climb on anything and as high as he can get - He loves to play the piano very loud - He loves to swing in the hanging chair on the deck - Brant loves to make a mess especially with food and loves to feed himself - Brant bites....mostly just me, but it HURTS.....but I can't be too mad at the kid because the poor thing has 10 teeth fully in 3 that have broken through and 3 more that are about to break through.....ouch! -Brant likes to flirt with anyone that will smile at him and strangers love this kid....espcially old ladies at the grocery store - Brant took 4 steps all by himself last week, but refuses to do it again - Brant can get off the bed, couch, and chairs all by himself now - Brant talks and jabbers all the time; he doesn't say anything specific except the word NO and he says it with all his might over and over and shakes his head and arms to make sure you understand; Brant is very good at telling you when he is mad....this kid has some lungs and knows how to use them - Brant loves to play and be social and to be involved in whatever everyone else is doing -  I love his smile and his heart shaped birthmark and his dark brown eyes and his slobbery kisses and his hugs as he pats my back. Brant may be stubborn, but he is the most lovable little one year old on the planet. We all love him and we are glad he is ours!  Happy Birthday Brant
