One Year with Briggs Beto

Dear Briggs,

This year has been the most fulfilling year of my life. You added a whole new dimension to my world that I never knew could exist. From every milestone you have confronted and conquered, to every baby kiss, to ever silly face, I am reminded of what a blessing you are to me and your daddy. You are the light of our lives. You have forever changed us. We love you baby boy. Have the most wonderful of birthdays.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

This video was created by my sister as a birthday gift to Briggs. Thank you Kara Leigh! We will treasure it always.

Briggs's Latest Milestones:

• If you ask how old I am, I will tell you I am ONE! (See picture below)
• I can say mama, dada, papa, hi and byebye
• I can walk around furniture or with walking toys but not by myself yet (Mommy thinks I still have a little longer to go before my first steps)
• I give really big hugs
• I can dance to the "hotdog song" on command (See Mickey Mouse Clubhouse hotdog dance)
• I only need my pacifier at night
• I can finally use a sippy cup but only do it willingly if there is juice inside
• Mommy started me on whole milk- not quite sure about it yet
• I am very into learning toys right now.
• I figured out iphones and ipads-Mom and Dad aren't too happy about that. (Just the other day I FaceTimed Enterprise Car Rental.)
• I'm still not a great sleeper but Mom thinks she has a plan to help-I probably won't like it.
• I eat all kinds of table foods- I especially love strawberries and steamed carrots!

One Year Measurements:
