Brayden's Birthday

Brayden, my totally charming and adorable nephew, turned ONE on Friday! (Happy Birthday again, little dude!) We traveled to northern Illinois to help him celebrate the big day. We had a great time hanging out with the BG's all weekend and Lilie got to take her first dip in a swimming pool. She really, really enjoyed it! I submit the following video as evidence (be sure your volume is on to get some really sweet giggles):



Brayden and Lilie wore these "swim diapers" that they make for babies. These swim diapers have different cartoon characters on them. Brayden's swim diaper was adorned with the turtle from the movie 'Finding Nemo' whose name happens to be Squirt. Lilie's diaper had a big picture of Pooh, as in Winnie. I had to think about that for a minute...and maybe I'm a dork...but that cracked me up! Those marketing people at Pampers really know what they're doing.

Here are some other pictures from the weekend:

Is it time for cake yet?

There it is!

Ohhhhhh, yaaaaa!!

Brayden: "Open!"
Lilie: "Closed!"

The harder the party, the harder the crash.
