Birthday Build-a-Bear Tradition

Mama and Papa are so excited to carry on the tradition we have done with each of our boys on their first birthdays. We Build-a-Bear together so that you have a special something to cuddle on your bed each night from Mama and Papa.
Your big brothers still sleep with theirs and after the fun with you today, we are certain your bear will be very loved!

Part of the tradition is that we like to see what bear our little one will choose so Papa walks you down the row and each of you over the years has made it quite clear which bear makes you happiest.
Well, Jonathan certainly surprised us but made us laugh out loud (as he often does!) with the sheer joy he shared when he found his perfect bear!
Our little angel squealed with delight and nearly lunged right out of Papa's arms to get a hold of his new bear.....a pink and purple/rainbow bear with pink paws and a big ol' smile. :) :)

When you finally got a hold of it you buried your face in the teddy bear and laughed and laughed. People from around the store came to watch your cuteness with your new friend!
And the magic didn't end then.....every chance you had to hug the bear, you would squeal and grab him in to a bear hug (no pun intended). Even hours later, when you caught sight of him you raced across the floor and smothered him in kisses!

You made quite a memory for Mama and Papa! It seems your build-a-bear brings you as much joy as you bring us and everyone around you......beary fitting!! (Pun totally intended there!) :)
