Brayden has been nothing but a joy to us this past year! He is the happiest, most easy going baby ever! We are so totally spoiled and with each day, he brings more and more happiness to our home.

To celebrate Brayden's 1st Birthday, I took the day off work and took Brayden to Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. My best friend from college, Beth, her husband, Jeffrey, and 2 boys, Luke (2) and Vince (10 months) came from Burlington to hang out with us. We had a great time at Marbles and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch outside in the beautiful sun. Brayden and Vince have both recently started walking so it was great to have the 2 boys together for the day. I think Luke & Jeffrey had a great time at the museum as well!

Brayden LOVED going down the slides!

Playing with a hula hoop. Who knew that they could be so much fun!


After our trip to Marbles, Brayden had his 1 year check-up. He weighted in at 19 pounds 6 ounces (7th percentile) and 28/5 inches long (11th percentile). While we waited to see the Dr, Matt & Brayden spent some quality time together looking out the window and talking about the trees.


After a big dinner it was time for the Birthday Party. Brayden had several cards and 2 gifts from Mommy & Daddy to open.

Then we had Birthday Cake!!! Harris Teeter does a free small cake for 1st birthdays. It is the perfect size for little hands to dig into :)

Patiently waiting on his Birthday Cake

After a few hesitant pokes, Brayden dug right in & started devouring the icing & cake! He looked like a little blue smurf before it was over with!

I don't know about this...

I think I like cake!
