You're officially not a baby anymore. It's hard to believe, really. I've been clinging to the fact that because you were under one year, it didn't matter how mobile you were, you were still my baby. But not anymore. One second you were a helpless, tiny human who depended on me for just about everything and the next, you are an independent little person who is starting to express opinions about things.
As of your birthday, you are rocking 7 teeth but the 8th isn't far behind.
Taking photos of you this month was pretty much impossible. Which, makes me sad because this was definitely our last monthly photo shoot. On to bigger and better things, right? We will see!
I love you, Brenden Chase. Welcome to toddlerhood.
Stats

Kid loves his fruit. Pears and mandarins are his
faves. He's also a fan of spinach, Cherrios, and Goldfish crackers too, and anything that includes
bread or cheese.
Favorite Words
Dada...I'd really like to work 'Mama' in to that
rotation but Brenden has more important things to talk about.
Favorite Toy
His hammer!. Also, the remote control, camera and real cell phones.
Favorite Activities
Walking around...everywhere. Dancing to music and Reading of course. He backs up sweetly in my lap and will listen intently. I love it!
Least Favorite Activities
Sleeping. Mama is tired, dude.
Nicknames
Sweet love, Buddy, BC, Little man, Sweet boy
Signature Moves
He gives a big, open-mouthed kiss about 75% of the time you ask for it.
Blows kisses and attempts to wave with his fist but hasn't quite figured
out the right motion. He shakes his head 'no' whenever he's doing
something he shouldn't be. He also dances anytime he hears music. A
bouncy, drop the booty to the floor type dance. Woohoo!
Other 12 Month Notables
+ The mullet is coming in quite nicely. Curly and adorable in the back,
sparse and comb-over-ish in the front. Never cutting it. Nope.
+ Babbling. All the time. We have full on conversations. It's hilarious.
+ Still breastfeeding... including at night.
+ He just loves his daddy....omg.. He cries for him when he leaves and he cries for him when he comes home...until Ryan picks him up.
XOXO, Tania
