Our Baby Turns 1

We celebrated our little guys first birthday on Cinco de Mayo, how fitting. I just can't begin to explain the joy and sadness it brings to my life, first of all we will no longer have a baby, and since this is our last one we are savoring every moment. He is such a blessing to this family, and is full of joy!

 I can't believe that just one short year ago we were at the hospital 6 weeks early waiting for this lil'guy to make his entrance into this world. God is so GOOD! he really has shown just how much we need him and with out him we would be lost. Bryson had a tough first 8 months, from being in the NICU for 25 days to having open hear surgery to correct a problem he had, God was with him through it all. I keep telling him that God has a very special  purpose for him. We are so grateful for him, and can't wait to see him grow up to be the man God wants him to be. 

Right now Bryson is not interested in table food or a sippy cup. He can hold his bottle, but refuses to do it, but he makes up for it by being a good sleeper ;). His favorite toy is a phone or the ipad, loves to watch Oscar, his sister can make him laugh anytime, and he HAS to have a ton of blankets around him to be able to fall asleep. He is now 18lbs, and is super tall. His hair does not stay down no matter how hard I try to gel it down, it sticks right up like Alfafa from the Little Rascals. He finally had 2 bottom teeth, and does not like to use them to chew. Here are a few pics of the big man.
