19 Months........

Yes, another month has already passed by...and now our little man Braden (Brant is our SUPER little man) has turned 19 months. :) We are creeping closer and closer to 2 years old every day...and my sweet baby is turning into a little boy. It kind of makes me sad in a way...but at the same time, I LOVE this age that he is at right now. It is just a blast! :) It makes being a mom so much more rewarding. :)

Here is what is going on this month with Mr. Braden:
1) Thinking he is probably around 30 lbs, however, he has taken a slight hiatus from eating these past few weeks..so he may have actually lost some weight. :)

2) He is moving quite comfortably into those 2T clothes. He can still wear some 24 month clothes, however, the pants and shirts just seem a little short at this point. :)

3) He still LOVES his preschool. He is also still learning like crazy and does come home with something new daily. He does not seem to want to leave school in the afternoons when we come to pick him up. He is having too much fun. :)

4) He has been getting upset when playdates are over with his friends. I mean wailing, red faced, super duper upset when it is time to say goodbye. He has also been getting really upset when folks like my parents leave town. Wow.....I almost want folks to leave while he is napping to prevent our neighbors from staring out their windows. HA!

5) He is getting very good at talking in complete sentences.....or very close to them. We feel like he speaks pretty darn audibly at least 75-80% of the time. There are not too many occassions when we have to look at one another like "What is he saying?" :) He will say things like "Where did Mama go?" and "Where is Baby Brant?" It is very cute and so awesome to hear him talk like a little boy. He has the sweetest expressions and I love hearing his sweet little voice asking me things. :)

6) He has mastered most of the signs on all of the potty training lists, however, I don't think we are ready to start trying within the next few months b.c of two reasons-a) we have a newborn at home b) I would have to move him into a toddler bed so he could get up at night. I think we will still wait awhile. :)

7) He can be so incredibly lovable if he wants to. :) It is so cute!! He has been loving on his baby brother a lot!! :) We are very happy to see that. He is a little rough but it sure is precious. :)

8) He loves to play, play, play....anywhere, anytime. :) Mr B....you are so awesome and so much fun! We love you!
