13 Months........

Braden turned 13 months today. :) We are moving full force into the 2nd year of life, and there is no slowing our little man down. :)

Here are a few fun facts about Mr. B at 13 months. :)

1) Finally 4 new teeth are trying soooo hard to pop in on the top. We can barely see the whites of them coming through.....but they are on their way. After those come in then he will have 6 chompers. :) We have waited a long time for this! HA! :)
2) LOTS and LOTS of talking but still no walking. Not sure what is up with that but B just does not feel like walking right now. He stands alone, cruises like a champ, and can walk between us when we practice with him...but I think he must just realize that he can move much faster on his knees. So he usually drops to them when he really wants to move. We are anxiously awaiting our little man to start this new milestone. One b.c we think he he will be a cute little walker, and two b.c he is 25 lbs and heavy to carry! HA! :)
3) Back to the his talking......WOW!! It really is amazing. He can literally repeat many of of the words that we say. It completely blows us away. His teachers at school taught him how to say their names...and he must learn a couple of new words a week. We are loving all of his talking..it is a blast! :)
4) He LOVES bananas and just goes nuts when he sees them. He WANTS them all of the time! LOL!! :)
5) Still loves water and we love that he loves it. That way we don't have to take the juice route. :)
6) He is becoming quite opinionated.....especially about what he wants to do and what he wants to eat. It is quite intriguing to watch him come into his own. I did not think that was supposed to happen this early! :)
7) This is the longest amount of time that he has been in the same size clothes and diapers. It has been nice to not have to buy new clothes every few weeks! :) He is still fitting into his 18 month clothes very well..and the size 4 diapers are his favorite. :)
8) He continues to love outside more and more every day. Especially with the cooler weather. I really think he could spend hours out there and not be bored at all. :)
9) He is learning LOTS of sign language and we also love that b.c it gives us a new way to communicate. He has picked the signs up very quickly, and they are practicing them like crazy at school. :)
10) Braden has shown us that the toddler years can be SOOOO much fun!! :) And I am sure that he will only continue to make the toddler years lots of fun into the future. :)

Cannot wait to see what this month brings. :) Just a couple of pics of Braden....

When our little man likes something he eats...he LIKES to eat. :) Baths are often necessary. :)Oh yes..the ball popper. This is one of those toys that can entertain him longer than 10 minutes so we really like it! :) Just a quick pic with Mimi and Pappy when they were in town. Gotta love how the tongue comes out now instead of a smile! :)
