A year of my precious little bug-a-boo

How Brecken is officially a "one year old" baffles me, but somehow June 2nd has rolled around and he has changed from counting his age in months to years. As cliche as it sounds, this last year really did fly by! Brecken has changed our family dynamic tremendously and stolen our hearts forever. He is the first thing I think of every morning when I wake up and the last thing I think about as I drift off to sleep. He is the cutest little thing on the planet and gives the absolute best smoochies! To say I love him would be an understatement, but to say I'm in awe of his every move would be 100% honest. I am thankful for every day I have with Brecken and look forward to many more "year milestones" with him!!!

In honor of his special day, and because of my constant desire to be a teacher :), I have created a quick "Brecken's ABC's" to share on his blog...

Happy birthday bug-a-boo!

Rocks and grass appear in my diapers sometimes because EVERYTHING goes in my mouth!

Brecken is spending his birthday morning with his Grandma Gott & Great Grandma Gott and we will take a trip to the zoo in the afternoon, weather permitting..... Grilled cheese, presents, ice cream and tacos will also be a part of his special day :)

I honestly can't remember if I ever posted the link to get to Brecken's one-year photo shoot, but for anyone that hasn't seen them and would like to: http://picasaweb.google.com/aprilgottwalker/BreckenSYearPhotos?authkey=Gv1sRgCLql2OiykoL8cw#
