Labor Day weekend Kyle's parents came into town for his Grandma's 85th birthday party. So we were fortunate to have them spend the holiday at our house enjoying a cookout with them as well as my mom, grandparents, and brothers family. We had a great time eating and watching the kiddos run wild in the backyard. Above pictures are of my grandparents and Kyle's parents and Bradley soaking up all the water on Labor Day.

Bradley at a year. His nursery is dinosaur themed so each month I took pics with his stuffed dino so I thought he needed to join in on the first year photo shoot!
Saying he loved the cake may be an understatement! He was a caking eating pro!
We celebrated Bradley's first birthday a week early, September 7th. There was a big OU game the Saturday of his actual birthday and the Braves were playing in Arlington. And if you know my husband you know that when the Braves are that close we gotta go! We had his little birthday bash at our neighborhood clubhouse. It was dinosaur themed. We had a dino dig, yummy snacks and everyone seemed to have a great time!

Loved his yummy cake!
On Bradley's actual birthday the boys and I got up and drove to Arlington for the Braves vs. Rangers game. My sister and brother in law who live about 45 minutes away from the stadium also joined us. We had a wonderful time! Carson was so in awe of the players, the game, and the fun atmosphere. Bradley enjoyed getting to eat all the ballpark food :)
I think his face says it all!
Today we had Bradley's 1st year wellness check. The doctor said he looked great! Which was also a relief because all last week we were battling a viral infection in the throat :( At birth Bradley weighed 6 lbs 13oz and a year later he is 20lbs 3oz which is the 32nd percentile. He was 20 inches long a year ago and today he is 31 inches which is the 89th percentile. So he continues to be long and lean. He had to have his finger pricked and blood drawn at this wellness check and that proved to be the worst part. He didn't even make a sound when they pricked his finger but when they were restraining his hand to get the blood he told the whole room about it. He also received three shots but those didn't seem to make him as upset as the finger holding! He was fine by the time we were walking out of the office. He has eight teeth and I saw a ninth one trying to make its appearance today. He is walking and working on climbing. He loves to mimic everything his brother does, which can be very entertaining for the whole family! He had his last bottle this past weekend and seems to be doing great with sippy cups, whole milk and any food he can get his hands on. He babbles about everything and has lots of gestures to get his message across! He has a few words he says that we know what he is talking about but aren't real words. He does say daddy and occasionally mama. I am hopeful he'll start saying more real words soon!!
Bradley is truly the sweetest, gigglely, fun loving little guy and he has blessed our family so much this past year. We are so excited to see what this next year holds for our two sweet toddler boys (prayer accepted)!
