BABY BRYANT....ONE YEAR OLD!!!

SPENCER AND HIS LOOK A LIKE BABY BROTHER.  BRYANT LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE SPENCER AS A NEW BORN.....IT WAS FUN!

LITTLE MISS LYDDY WILL HAVE BRYANT ON THE RUN IN NO TIME.  HE SURE HAS A LOT OF CUTE SIBLINGS TO LOVE HIM!!

THIS PICTURES PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE THAT HIS BROTHERS ARE OLDER SO HE WILL HAVE A FEEL OF WHAT TOMMY AND LUKE HAVE.  AREN'T THE THE CUTEST.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF OUR SWEET BRYANT.  IT MAKES ME WANT TO SQUEEZE HIM AND KISS HIM.

THIS IS THE LOOK I HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM HIM THE PAST FEW MONTHS.  WHEN WE ARE WITH THEIR FAMILY HE WANTS HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY....SOON HE WILL LIKE ME...THE OTHERS WENT THROUGH THIS TOO.

THERE THEY ARE ON TEMPLE SQUARE AT CHRISTMAS.  ONE OF THE MANY TRADITIONS HE WILL GROW UP WITH.  THEY HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL FAMILY TRADITIONS.

THE BOUNCE HOUSE WAS HIS FAVORITE THING AT CHRISTMAS.  THEY HAD TO GO TO THE CHURCH TO SET IT UP.  JUSTIN SENT VIDEOS AND HE LOVED IT.  I REALLY WISH I COULD GET VIDEOS ON MY BLOG!  LOOK AT THAT SMILE.  IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A FULL TUMMY AND IS HAPPY.  HE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH REFLUX.  I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS STILL ON THE MEDICINE BUT IT REALLY HELPED HIS LITTLE TUMMY.

HERE HE IS AT THE PARK...JUST CHILLIN LIKE A BIG BOY WITH HIS TOYS.  HE GOES AND GOES.  HE IS REALLY GROWING UP SO QUICKLY AND THAT IS SAD, BUT AT LEAST HE WILL START TO LIKE ME!

HE SURE LIKES HYRUM AND HIS OLDER BROTHERS AND SISTERS.  THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD TO HIM AND HYRUM EVEN GOT HIM TO SMILE FOR ME.

THEN WE FIGURED OUT IF I HELD HIM AND FACED HIM TOWARD HYRUM WHILE I GAVE HIM ZURBERTS....HE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY AND NOT REALIZE WHO WAS HOLDING HIM.  I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS NEXT YEAR WHEN I WON'T HAVE TO HIDE FROM HIM TO GET THOSE SWEET SMILES.  HE HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF JOY AND HAPPINESS TO OUR FAMILY IN THE SHORT TIME HE HAS BEEN WITH US...... HIS GIGGLE....HIS BUSINESS....THE CUTE SOUNDS AND WORDS HE SAYS.  WHAT SWEET JOY....TRUE JOY.  IT HAS BEEN FUN TO SEE HIS SIBLINGS ENJOY HIM.  HE DOESN'T LACK ATTENTION....EVEN IF HE NEEDS A DIAPER CHANGE THERE SEEM TO BE VOLUNTEERS.  THEY ALL LOVE HIM SO MUCH.  I THOUGHT LYDIA MY BE A LITTLE JEALOUS BUT SHE TALKS ABOUT HIM AND WHAT HE IS DOING ALL THE TIME WHEN WE FACETIME HER ON SUNDAY.  BABIES ARE SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN THAT WHEN I HOLD HIM I FEEL BEN SO NEAR.  I ALSO FEEL MY MOM VERY NEAR AND KNOW THAT THEY ARE WATCHING OVER HIM AND ARE VERY AWARE OF ALL THAT IS GOING ON......WHAT COMFORT THIS SWEET SENTENCE GIVE...."I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES."  THANK YOU BRYANT FOR BRINGING HEAVEN TO EARTH.  WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!  HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!!
