These are a few of his favorite things

The "theme" for Brady's one year old birthday was his favorite things. At this point in time, that means Cheerios and balls. So I attempted to make a ball cake and cupcakes and cookies shaped like Cheerios.

Earlier in the day, Brady climbed in to his chair (which we have decided to keep because he loves it so much!). He looked like a king on his throne. So we had him open some birthday gifts.

I'm ready...bring on the presents!

We used to make these cookies with my mom when I was little. You can make them in to any shape and they taste like a sweet biscuit. They were the perfect treat for our teething little man. It was the first thing Brady noticed on the table...he went straight for the giant Cheerio looking thing, put it in his mouth, and never put it down. :)

We had to coax him to try the cake. He didn't have much of a reaction to the taste of the icing, but seemed to really enjoy finger painting with it on the table.

Like Father...

...Like Son

These are MY two favorite things...

What would a king on his throne be without his very own castle? We got him this blow-up bouncer because the boy Loves to jump and he Loves balls. I don't know what I was thinking when I decided we should pump it up...in the middle of the family room. But we had some giggles while we were assembling it and Brady has lots of giggles being the king of his castle.

Happy Birthday Brady! We love you so much!
