Happy First Birthday Brendan!

Happy First Birthday Buddy! We love you more than words can say! You have changed our lives completely, and we can't wait for all of the wonderful adventures to come! You had a great first Birthday. Stacey had a Birthday party for you at daycare, and she was kind enough to get lots of great pictures with our camera, since Mommy & Daddy couldn't be there. You're becoming quite the walker, taking about 10 steps in a row! Sometimes you drop to your knees, because you think crawling might still be faster! Too funny! Your cousins Taylor & Alyssa got into town today from Maryland, so they came over for DQ cake (my favorite & maybe yours someday too). Mommy is so lucky to have a Birthday close to yours. Us Leo's need to stick together! We also had Gramma, Grampa, Nana & Poppi over for gifts. Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful gifts! After a busy day, you were plum tired out! 7:00 hits, and you are ready for your night time baba. You do such a good job with your sippy cup, we have you down to one bottle a day. Daddy took the day off tomorrow, so he could be with us for your First year photos, and to get ready for your party on Saturday. Let's pray for no bumps or bruises in the next 24 hours! We love you little guy! Happy Birthday! Your inflatable tee ball set! You wouldn't let go of the bat once we blew it up.
Yummy ice cream cake!
