All About Brayden


Brayden had his 15 month well check today. I was so happy that I could finally report to the doctor that yes, he is in fact walking! Brayden cooperated and walked for the doctor too, which is impressive in and of itself because he still chooses to crawl allot and to perform on cue is not usually Brayden's style. Here are his 15 month numbers:
Height 31.5 inches 50-75%
Weight 24.2 lbs 25-50%
Head 48 cm 50-75%




He had to have one shot, which he did not cry over, he whined a little but no tears. What a tough guy! So when the visit was all over he was able to pick out his very own and very first sucker. He sucked on that thing till the stick was coming apart!













After the Doctors Aunt Tammy and I took all the kids to the pool. Here are pictures of Brayden's adventures in the water. He loves being in the water and playing by himself. I don't know if Brett is going to be too thrilled to find out he was playing with a barbie!!

Here are some fun things to know about Brayden

  • He loves bread, juice, ice cream, bananas, yogurt, he will eat most of what I give him.
  • He is not to fond of tomato sauce, peanut butter, or milk although he will drink a little.
  • He loves music and will shake his whole body to the beat especially his head.
  • He is not a big fan of TV or watching movies he would much rather be playing with toys.
  • He loves going up and down the stairs and has been doing this for a long while now.
  • He does not like to be alone, he will play by himself as long as someone else is close by.
  • He likes toys with wheels, cars, shopping carts, big pushing stuff like his dump truck and "beep beep" and toys that make noise.
  • He does not like to be smothered by his two big sisters who sometimes can not help it!
  • He loves to cuddle with mommy and daddy and sing the Barney "I Love You" song. He knows when to give the hug and the kiss!
  • One more thing he loves is telephones and remote controlls, he will play with his toy cell phone for hours or just carry it around!
  • Some new words he is saying; stinky, Kayla, no, stop, and bite

When I change his diaper he says "inky, inky" translation stinky, stinky

When he wants to eat, especially if someone is eating in front of him he shouts out "BITE"

He will point to the table and then shake his head no to everything you hold up until it is what he wants.

When the girls are smothering him, playing of course, and he has had all he can take he will shout out "SOP!" which means stop.

I love all the adventures I have with him. I am having so much fun watching him grow, I love him, he is my baby boy! He is a very happy, easy and mild manner baby, we will see what toddler hood will bring!

He is so freakin' cute. I think there are two words you need to add to your family dictionary. He does only have one word up there you know.
