18 months!

Our big boy turned 18 months old last week! He is so active and curious about everything! That may be why his favoiite show is Curious George. He has about 20 words now, but his favorites are "up", "hot", "all done", "go", "Lucy" and "banana". He now uses the signs for "baby", "dog", "book" and "ball". Some of his favorite toys include blocks, cars, balls and his Thomas train. He also loves books especially the recordable storybooks that our family recorded for him. We hear The Night Before Christmas all year around here. :) Brown, Brown, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is another favorite.

He loves to go to the park and even goes down the big slide at the playfround all by himself. We've made a few trips to Monkey Joe's, which is basically an inflatable playground, since it has been cold outside. Brayden is fearless there as well and loves to jump and go down the slides. Brayden better be a future basketball star because he can already jump and get both feet off of the ground. He has quite the throwing arm as well which has come in handy with entertaining Lucy. I think that she has enjoyed having another person to play with! Yesterday, he stood on one foot and balanced for a few seconds and he thought that it was hilarious when he almost fell over. He is quite the entertainer and we love every bit of it!
