Brayden is 1 year old
It has gone by so fast, I can't believe that Brayden is 1 year old. He is such a wonderful blessing in our lives. We have so much fun with him and celebrating his birthday was fun as well. He didn't realize what it meant to be a birthday boy, he did have fun opening up his gifts. 
Here are all the gifts that he received. Jared and I bought him a his first hoop, big ball, and a toy where he hammers balls down a hole and then it rolls down the maze. He had fun with the hammer, but you have to watch out cause if your finger gets in the way he doesn't stop hammering. Grandma & Grandpa Taylor got him a beach towel, book, and some primary activities and a CD with lullabies. 
He liked the wrapping paper and tissue paper with his gifts and we picked up shredded pieces everywhere.
Here is Brayden's cake. 
We decided to have a family party with the three of us. There was too much going on for just the two of us. I had the camera, Jared had the video camera and the cake...bad idea. Jared put the camera on the counter with it pointed on Brayden in his chair. It was a really bad video, because Jared insists that the lights must be out when the candles are lit, but it did record the following events. Jared grabs the cake with the lit candle and puts it down in front of Brayden. Brayden sees the candle, and of course, grabs the flame with his hand. He started crying immediately and I ran over and got him out of his chair to remove all the hot wax and see how bad he had been burnt. We have it all on video to show him one day. I just hope it didn't traumatize him too much.
After we calmed him down we tried it again, without the candle. At first he didn't know what to think. Brayden has had very little sugar, but it didn't take long for him to decide that it was good.
Things got a bit messy, but it was very worth it.
Brayden has such good manners he even tried to use his fork at one point. At least his first birthday will be memorable.
