Brendan is ONE year old today!


Brendan turns one today. Its amazing how much he has changed in the past 12 months.

If you want to send him birthday wishes, you can email him at brendannbrown@yahoo.com and we'll put the emails in his scrapbook.

What he's up to these days:
  • Walking and running all over the place. He has now learned how to stand up without pulling up on something.
  • Babbling a lot and using a few words - mama, dada, night-night, dat (cat), no
  • Lots of hand motions - waves for hi, bye, and night-night, raises his arms for touch down and loves to clap.
  • Rocking and bopping to music - he loves to play with his musical toys, drum, maracas, piano, and when he hears music he starts bopping to the beat.
  • If he doesn't grow up to be a muscian, he's going to be a soccer player - he loves to kick around his soccer ball and does pretty well for a kid who has just been learning how to walk.
  • He points at everything and especially loves to point at balloons and airplanes.
  • He loves to watch the school bus and trash truck. If he's inside when he hears the bus approaching (the bus stop is right next door to our house), he runs to the window with his arms up so that you will lift him to watch.
  • Still growing. He weighs about 25 pounds (tripling his birth weight) and wears size 24 month clothing.
  • Slowly expanding his diet - besides his favorite formula he likes to eat yogurt, cheerios, Gerber fruit puffs, and crackers.

Unfortunately Brendan is sick for his birthday. We're having a small celebration this weekend for him so he can celebrate with Grandma Leslie and Nicole and we've moved his party to next weekend.
