More Firsts!!

We have obviously had a lot of "firsts" in the last year with Brayden and they just keep coming!! Brayden went on his first bike ride!! 
Chance and I got Brayden the bike seat and helmet for his birthday and we finally got to use it the other day!! It was an insanely hot day so the breeze felt so nice! Brayden really seemed to enjoy the bike and then of course we had to stop at the park and play for a bit!!
And another first....a big ouchie!! 
Yeah you see that huge welt on his head?!? He dove right into the TV stand. Poor little guy! He was super tough and stopped crying pretty quickly. I had to keep him awake for a while and make sure he didn't have a concussion or anything but he was fine! He still has a bruise but the swelling is gone and he seems back to normal. I, on the other hand, am still a little traumatized but that is another story!! Ha.
AANNNDDD!!! My little boy is 13 months today! I can't believe it has been a month since the madness of his party and birthday! Not much has changed since then but I will have a "13 months" post up tomorrow!

Happy One Month of Life!!!

Dear Brayden,

I can't believe you are a month old already! It seems like just a few days ago I was meeting you for the first time. Since those first few days in the hospital, you have grown so much. You can hold up your head and grasp things in your tiny hands! Your dad and I are so in love with you and can't wait to see how you grow and develop.

Since today was your one month birthday, we took a trip to the El Dorado Nature Center. You didn't notice because you slept the whole time but the walk was awesome and you got to spend some quality time with your GiGi(great-grandma!!). She absolutely loved being with you (obviously she can't get enough of you!). We saw so many things today like squirrels, rabbits, turtles, spiders, butterflies, fishes, dragonflies and I am sure many more things that my brain can't remember this late at night!

You were asleep from the very beginning!

The turtles were so cute :)

Don't worry, the ducks can read and we didn't give them any food!

The beautiful scenery

Sitting in your boppy...such a big boy!!

So as I go to feed you and put you to sleep, just know that I love you so much and I can't wait to celebrate every birthday with you....even the birthdays like today that don't really count!

Love, Mommy

P.S. Thank you for all the kisses tonight! And by kisses I mean open-mouthed head butts to my cheek! Don't worry, grandma has it all on video!
