Brogan Lee: OUR BABY IS ONE!

Ok ok... so I know I have been slacking.... I heard it from everyone! HERE THEY COME!!! This is/are going to be a pretty substantial post/s...

Brogan turned one on January 16th, I CAN'T BELIEVE how big he is already. I can't believe they called my baby a TODDLER at the doctors office for his one year check up! He was being such a show off for the doctor, he even recognized her this time. When he heard her coming down the hall to his room he ran to the door and let out a little happy scream! When she came in it was like someone handed him a couple sugar cubes... he started doing laps, and dancing, and "talking" putting on a real show!

His new stats are:
Weight:25 lbs
Height:28 1/4 in. (although I think this
was measured on the short side as he
is not standing up yet)
Head: 46 1/2 cm

Still a big boy! He is wearing 18-24 mo and sometimes 2T tops, but still some of the 18 Mo pants are too long (he's got a really long torso so it makes his legs look short) and just recently moved up to sz 5 shoes! Grandpa went out and bought him seme light up sketchers! What a spoiled grandson! He is running around now, still falls occasionally on account of being a little "top heavy" with all those brains! But is so fun to have around! We even have to watch him as he is such a stinker and climbs his gates!! He definitely inherited both Buddy and my arm strength, he pulls himself up about 6-8 inches off the ground using just his arms! He's smart too, he can figure out a lot of things now just by watching you, or by himself. He has figured out how to get his big toes in the slots in his downstairs gate so he can "scale" it like rock climbing. Here's a picture of the stinker in action!

Buddy had to return to Northern to finish his 2nd to last semester (HOO RAH) the week of Brogans 1st birthday so the day before he left we had a party for him at Buddys Parents house. It was so much fun. He is such a little entertainer... at first he was a little confused at why everyone was staring at him before he got the cake, but as soon as he got his hands on it, OH BOY! He didn't need any help.... YES it had sugar... I gave in for his birthday (any one that doesn't understand this... I'm quite the stickler about what kind of sweets Brogan gets and I hear about it quite often... ) But this was a special occasion! and off course we brushed real good afterwards! :) Although the red frosting did stain his face (and the sink afterwards) for a couple of days! hehe.....

After dinner and cake Buddy pulled out the little wrestling singlet that was for Brogan to see if it fit yet.... well see for you selves... (there is a mini war between the fams, because both hockey and wrestling fall in the same season, my family are big hockey fans, and his family are big wrestling... so this was really funny)

Then of course were presents and more presents... and a cowboy show hahahaha... ask if you don't already know!

Then on his birthday we had another party at my house, this one smaller and just because it was his birthday. We did get a cake, and I cooked chicken N dumplins' for dinner. Brogan decided he wanted to try and feed himself! He couldnt scoop the food, but if you gave him the fork, he knew exactly what to do with it!

This was his birthday cake! I thought it was so cute!

This is a video of Brogan dancing to the "na na song"(this is what we call it) by Akon. Its his auntie Morgann's ring tone, and for whatever reason he just picked up on the beat! Everytime it comes on he starts dancing away!!! haha

Brogan liked his cake this time equally as much, and since he did he thought that he would share some with mommy :) what a nice boy! haha

Again Brogan got SPOILED with gifts... can you believe Christmas was only 3 weeks prior?

This is a picture of what Brogan got from Auntie Morgann/ Grandpa Wood! His very own hockey skates and helmet!...
He's so cute!

After the cake into the tub he went.... Auntie Chelsea got him a new bath bubble maker! he loved it!
