Our One Year-Old

Brendan is active and curious as can be. He is a wonderful handful and rarely sits still. He loves swimming, playing with his ball, reading books, and clearing off tables! Brendan's vocabulary is impressive and I am quite surprised at the things he knows and can communicate. Proud too of course!

He is crawling, climbing, and cruising the furniture. I went to put a stamp on a letter and he destroyed the whole room by the time I came back the other day. My house will never really be clean again and we will leave trails of cheerios behind us, but we are enjoying it.

Brendan's personality really can warm your heart.

He loves hearing about and watching animals and to learn about everything around him. The best toys are pots, pans, tupperware, and utensils in the kitchen.

He also has a push toy that he will do laps around the house with. Grandpa taught him to climb the stairs and today he climbed and climbed and climbed!

We still do not let him watch television, though he has watched some Planet Earth on BluRay. I seriously think his social and verbal competence is because of it. We try to eat as a family at the table every night and he will eat just about anything. He loves cheese like Mom and raspberries like Dad. We feed him colorful food from all of the food groups and if he doesn't like it he throws it over his shoulder.

He now has 6 teeth and brushes them himself every morning. :)
