Has it been a year?

One year ago today I had an epidural and gave birth to the monster that we call Brother.

(I don't have any teeny baby pics of brother to post because they are all on a laptop that won't currently turn on. When it does I will do a little photo tribute to Brother's first year.)

He is just starting my favorite stage of a little persons life were they start putting into practice all of the things that they have been observing for these many months. At least half of the time he is mimicking his sister. You can see it in his eyes that she is the coolest person he knows.

It makes my eyes leak a little when I think about the two of them.
I loved this stage with Madeline and I am already loving watching Brother. He thinks that he is so big.
I will just name a few of the many cute things about Bradley on his first Birthday.

- He make super cute stinker faces at me when he knows that I am bossing him.
- He loves to get into the toilet, toilet brush, toilet paper and or plunger.
- He gives really sweet kisses.
- He will "put up his dukes" something that you have to see to think it's cute.
- He hates for anyone to take a shower. He stands at the tub crying and pulling back the shower curtain. If he get shut out of the bathroom during someones shower then he sits at the door screaming reaching his little fingers under the door.
- He loves to climb on top of his sisters desk. He likes to get in trouble about that one.
- He is finally taking naps. 2 a day usually. At least 30 minute some days an hour or more! awesome!- He has 12 teeth. Still waiting for those dreaded eye teeth.
- He loves to play computer games with his sister.
- He has a frustrating obsession with the vacuum.
- He loves the sand box.
- He has been talking in his own little language a ton the past week. So cute to just sit and watch him.
- Oh, and if you have read the previous post you would know that he ruins his sisters life quite often.

We love "Brother" Bradley Arlo, even when he is tearing the house down and eating his sisters candy.

Happy Birthday Little Man!!!

They are going to wish him a Happy Birthday on Good Things Utah today if you want to watch.
