Braden {22 months}

Braden, you are changing so much and each month brings on new things so I wanted to document this fun stage we’re in!

You have such a sweet and easy going personality.  Your smile and laugh are infectious.  Anytime we’re out in public, you are friendly and always saying “hi” to someone.

Your most favorite thing is to be outside, either playing with Riley’s car or Bear & Daisy.  We hear “side” a lot around here!  You love for your sister to take you on rides in her car and are content to be her passenger.  You are, however, closer to being able to drive it yourself - you can reach the pedal but have not figured out how to steer.

You love ALL things tractor-related (any construction vehicle you see you squeal tactor). 

You still adore your papa, and love when he takes you outside to ride the tractors!  You really enjoy your Sunday evenings with papa and “ganny” while the rest of us are at church.

You have become quite the little chatterbox and repeat (or attempt to repeat) just about everything you hear.  Some of my favorites include your recent uv you (love you) and mornings when you wake one of us up with mornin!  You are quick to say thank you and often times follow with a quick welcome!

You are still a very good eater, although you are currently getting a new molar and have only wanted soft foods.

You are learning your counting, although you have a few numbers you prefer over others!  You usually skip ahead to 2, 5, 8 &10.  You also love to repeat animal noises, with moo, meow, & woof being your favorites.

Your bedtime routine these days consists of sitting in the rocking chair in your room singing songs (Row, row, row your boat is your recent fave…you usually interrupt other song attempts by saying boat over and over until we start singing that one again!).  We’ve never been able to get you to sit still long enough to read books until the last couple of weeks.  Not you love story time (repeat again after each book!).

Cheese!

You are such a busy boy and we are just loving this age!!  You bring our family so much joy and we are so thankful for you!!
