Party Time

Brady had his first birthday party this past weekend and we were fortunate enough to have a bunch of family come celebrate! He had a great day from the time he woke up to the time he went to sleep. First of all, he slept in until 7:30, which is about an hour later than normal so he didn't need to take a morning nap. Instead of a nap, he got to go with Daddy to swim in the pool at the hotel where Kendall and Michelle stayed. They all had a blast! After all that fun he had to take a nap and then when he woke up, it was almost time for the party. I made him a shirt to go along with the puppy theme...He got to play with his cousins for a while before the party, and he got jealous when Grandma Moore was holding Jonas (Shannon's baby), so Grandma had to hold them both. We played some fun games at the party, including pin the tail on the dog with the tails that each kid colored. When it came time for presents, Brady was so excited to play with each one that got opened that he wanted nothing to do with opening the next present. So we had to take away the new toy and hide it so he could get the next one! He definitely got spoiled with presents and loves them all! Here are some cake pictures (see previous post for description and video). Let's just say we had to go straight to the bath when we were done, and while waiting for the water to warm up he peed all over. Everything turned out really well and everyone seemed to have a good time. Thanks to all who attended, especially those out of town. And thanks to everyone who helped decorate, with a special thanks to Aliisa for her help with the cupcakes!

We went to the Dr. today for his 1 year check up. He did well and everything looks good except he still has water on one ear, so we will go back in to get that checked soon. He did great with the first shot, but apparently the second and third hurt a lot more because he screamed like crazy. And then screamed more when he got labs drawn, but he calmed down pretty quickly. Here are his stats:
Height: 30 3/4 in (75%)
Weight: 21 lbs, 7 oz (30%)
Head: 48 (90%)
This boy eats so much I'm surprised he hasn't gained much weight. Then again, he is constantly moving, so he probably burns it all off in a matter of minutes! We sure love our little man!
