For Bryce's first birthday (the actual day) we hung out around home. After vacationing in Hilton Head for a week, we decided to get a quick set pool (thanks Jess) and have spent the better part of this week working on it. After the first set up we had to drain it and today was spent leveling and digging and figuring out how to get it to work. Hopefully by the weekend we will be in business.
Bryce celebrated with a donut instead of the cake, which we will save for his actual party. The sad part was that he decided to play with the fire and got burned. Bad call on our part... I think we may have crippled his love of the experience. Good thing is that he won't remember it for next year!
This year has flown by so quickly that I feel kinda foggy about all of the experiences. Bryce has proved to be an amazing baby and I am hoping that transfers to toddler. He is using words (mama, dada, hi) and shakes his head no when he doesn't want something. His crawling skills have allowed him to ignore the need to walk, but he is cruising really well. He has mastered crawling in and out of the house, so he can play on the porch and even manages to crawl down the deck to go into the backyard. Bryce loves to swing and thinks it is hysterical to go down the slide. We got him a climber to keep inside so he could burn off some energy (along with Emerson) and he has just started to learn how to get up the steps... although he can race up the steps in the house! We ditched the formula and he is loving the milk... hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to ditch the bottles!
