Brayden - 18 Months!

Ahh...say it isn't so!  My baby is 1.5 years old.  How is that possible?!?! Geoff and I always say that we're so blessed that Brayden is growing and is healthy...but why does it have to go by so fast?  On another note...Brayden is so incredibly fun and smart right now, that just like every month, I swear this is my favorite.  Haha.  Yes, he's a busy body and keeps his Momma (or as he likes to say MA!) on her toes, but it's so much fun and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

We went in for Brayden's 18 month appointment and here are his stats...

Weight:  27lbs 15.4oz  (93%ile)
Height:  34 1/4in.  (97%ile)

Here's his 18 month photo:

Brayden - 16/17 Months

What a crazy few months it has been.  I feel like Brayden has grown up so much in these past months, it's crazy!  It's like my sweet boy is turning into a little man.

Since I didn't post an update for his 16 month, here's his 16 month photo.  Poor baby got eaten up by mosquitoes on his little face.   

Here's his 17 month picture...

Climb up the stairs and come back down on my belly and butt.  (Depends on my mood!)

4th of July

He loved the fireworks.  We had some headphones for him.

I can do it myself, Mommy!

Swimming and Papa and Grandma's

He had to try to get Bella.

His hair got a little long and I loved when he got out of the bath because it was kind of curly!

First Oreo!  Did you know Oreo's don't have eggs?  WIN!

This is the look I get, often, when I tell Brayden...No.
