Braxton turns ONE!!!

Our little boy turned one on October 9th but we had a little party for him on October 1st. At his doctors apt he weighed in at 21lbs 3oz and was 30.25 inches long.  He is doing very good… he is now on whole milk so no more formula. We were also able to turn his car seat around so we are hoping he enjoys the car a little more now.
Here are some pictures for his birthday party.
This was the morning of his party.... He had his crown on and was ready to go!

 Of course we had to have a candy bar for his birthday party even though he didn't enjoy any or it.
And the party pictures....
Braxton and Daddy are ready to party!!

 Of course is favorite gifts of all ... BOOKS!!
 More gifts...
 And more books

 His gift from mommy and daddy.

 Resting on Granddad!! Partying is tiring.

Now it's cake time!!!

 And finally Braxton in his car seat facing forward..... and yes he still has a book in his hands.

On the day of his actual birthday we went to the zoo for the first time... Braxton was still a little too young he could only see the big animals but loved the elephants and the giraffes
