Wow! I can't believe that a year has come and gone... it seems like only yesterday we found out we were going to have a little baby and now he is running all over the place! As a one year old, Branson is very busy... He is walking (almost running) everywhere. He started walking right around 10 1/2 months and pretty much gave up crawling immediately. He is so smiley and he loves to giggle. He loves listening to music while bouncing and shaking his head. One of his favorite songs is "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and he is really figuring out the hand motions. Branson just loves praise and is always clapping and smiling for himself when he accomplishes just about anything. We have been working on animal sounds- and he now knows what a Cow, Dog, and Sheep say. He runs to the door when daddy gets home from a hard day of work saying Hi Daaa Hi Daaa Hi Daaaa! His dad is his very favorite- he might even like him more than me. They spend most of their time together wrestling, playing peek-a-boo, hiding in "forts" (blankets over dads head) cuddling, reading books, and more! Branson is also such a good eater and even better at reaching his hand over the highchair to feed his doggy. The dog is finally getting paid back for all his months of licking Branson, with lots of tail pulling and body slams! I am sure I could go on and on about all the wonderful things my baby can do and has done for us. He has been such a joy for Chris and I. We are usually just in awe of him and laughing at all the funny things he does. He has such a sweet personality- and is also such a boy. Although its sad to think about how fast he is growing up, we are also so excited for all that is to come. Every day with Branson is such a blessing. We think we couldn't possibly love Him anymore and then the next day comes and somehow we do.... It's absolutely amazing!
