18 Months!!!

I can't believe Braden is 18 months!! He is growing so fast. Just last night I was watching some home videos of Braden when he turned 1, I can't believe how much he has changed in 6 months. He is such a joy to have in our home. I think I smile and laugh more now than I ever have in my life just because of this sweet little fella.

He had his first experience in nursery and it went very well. When we dropped him off I tried to say bye and explain that we would be back after class but he could care less about us he just kept saying "cars, cars!". He did fine playing until dad went in to change his diaper and then he did not want dad to leave! When I met up with them after church all Braden kept saying was "cars, cars!" Now anytime when mention nursery that is what he says.Below is a picture of him on his first day of nursery.
Height: 34.5" (95%) Weight : 27.2 lbs (65%)

Letters he knows: H, O, T, X

Words he can read: baby, reach, gorilla, eyes, hi, elephant, dog, colors

Colors he knows: purple, blue, green

Things he loves: cars, helicopters, (anything that goes), lions, folding clothes, sweeping, vaccuming, signing time, reading, playing outside, popsicles, naming animals and making their sounds, waving at everyone he sees

We are teaching Braden sign language and he LOVES it! Last time I counted he knew over 60 signs and that was at 12 months so I am sure he knows a lot more than that now.

Braden you are such a smart boy and I am so lucky that I get to be your mom and stay home to take care of you and teach you everyday!
