Birthday Cake Tradition

It is a Bairn family tradition for baby's first birthday to put a cake and the baby on the table, then give him/her free reign, then sit back watch and see what happens. In keeping of tradition Adam got his very own birthday cake.


Awe, all clean again.

Splash!

SPLASH! Adam has discovered the joys splashing.
We attended a picnic, for CompSci (the company Daddy works for) at Michaella's house today. We all enjoyed being with Daddy's co-workers in a casual setting. Four of the CompSci next generation were there. We have been blessed that Nathan works with a great group of people.
Adam enjoyed crawling after the cats, eating leaves, and socializing. We bought him new swimming trunks for the occasion. This was the first time we have had him in a swimming pool. At first he was pretty laid back about the new experience, then he discovered splashing. Sign us up for the next picnic!

Child Care Adam Style

Adam loves his baby doll! And he takes good care of him.

Dancing Boy

What new things will Adam discover now that he is mobile? Watch out world!

Is This the End of Superman?

We are often asked if the Superman Suit still fits. Once again it was time for the challenge as we were going through Adam's clothes to see which ones he can wear. Many outfits have come and gone. Can the Superman Suit withstand the pressure? Drum roll...

Hair

We never cease to be amazed by Adam. He is in the phase where he likes to grab hair and faces. He often will reach out to people and grab their hair, bringing them closer to him. He even does this to strangers who dote on him. Tonight Adam reached out and grabbed Mommy's hair in his fist. Mommy said (as she often does) "That's Mommy's hair," followed by "be gentle with Mommy's hair." Adam echoed "hair." He said it again and again. Daddy was summoned, and also got to hear Adam repeat his first official word, "hair, hair." What was your first word?

Once we got the camera out he did not say it as distinctly as he had previously, but we thought the video was worth showing anyway.

All Fours

While watching General Conference Adam learned a new skill. He got up on his hands and knees for the first time. He even maintained that stance long enough for Mommy to get the camera.

Good Morning

Two Heads Are Better Than One

Noses have been running; chests have been congested; tissues have been full. With all that going on it was nice to see Adam bouncing with glee this evening as he sat with Daddy.

Baby Steps

Adam practiced his walking with Mommy. He seamed pleased with this new exercise. He takes his work very seriously.

And he gave some apostles... -Ephesians4:11

Adam was very attentive as we watched President Eyring and Elder Hales. We decided it would be a good sabbath activity to watch a few talks from the previous General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This little boy was glued. He got frustrated when Daddy started taking pictures, the video mode worked much better. I guess he did not want to be interrupted.

...Or Maybe Not

Adam rested for a while, then decided that the night was still young. A few hours after we took the picture in the last post, Adam awoke, ready for a late-night party.

Shopping Jackpot

Nathan and Adam on their way to go shopping.



Tonight after work we braved the cold to go clothes shopping for Adam. We were blessed to hit some great sales. We saved $447, and only spent $99!

Next time won't you sing with me-

Adam sang along while his teddy bear played the alphabet song. It was very cute. He very much enjoys music.

Patty Cake, Patty Cake

Adam enjoyed playing "Patty Cake" today.
