Braden the Builder

Today was a peaceful day. It was a day to relish the mundane. Braden and I played the day away on the family room floor. We enjoyed the inaugural playing of Braden's new blocks; lovingly hand-crafted by Braden's "Pop" for his birthday. I did most of the building (and thoroughly enjoyed myself) while Braden did all of the demolition. He loved the clack of the blocks when he hit them together- loud and disconcerting; music to the ears of a one year old boy.

Tomorrow we head to the pediatricians' office for Braden's one-year weight check. I'm guessing he's a twenty-pounder. What do you think?
