My little boy turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. I really don't understand where the time has gone. I don't understand how he's magically become a toddler! I don't understand how I forgot about this blog!
On Brendan's actual Birthday, Simon took the day off and we went to my photographer for a family portrait and a cake smash. For those of you not familiar with a cake smash, you place a lovely birthday cake on the floor, place the birthday child in front of it and take pictures of the carnage. Brendan, the wild child that he is, looked at the cake, poked it with one finger, then just sat there. I had to do most of the smashing by shoving his hands in the cake and letting him deal with it.
At one point, I decided to try to get him to step on the cake. I stood him up and tried to get him to take a step. He was having NONE of it, so I let go. And he stood there. He STOOD there! I was in shock! Then he started to sink to his bum, changed his mind and stood back up! What a great milestone for his birthday! I'll always remember when and where he first stood on his own!
After the photo session, we went to my parents. Unfortunately, we didn't get there in time to see my Dad, as he had a dress rehearsal for one of his concerts. But we had a wonderful "baseball dinner" (cold cuts, buns, potato salad, raw veg and dip) with a super yummy Angel Food Cake made by my Great Aunt Betty!
Brendan seemed facinated with his Great, Great Aunt Betty. They made funny faces at each other and cuddled a little. It was really wonderful to see! There's something truly
