How can he be 1 and 1/2 already....

My little boy is growing so quickly. He is so full of energy and smiles. Brayson is now eating everything in sight, and finally has 11 teeth (so thankful he is not a picky eater)! I get my rest at night as he is now sleeping from about 8pm until 8am and on the weekends he sleeps until you wake him up :) New words he says are outside, please (aka peeese), thankyou, uh oh, mom, papa, grandma, milo (our puppy), up, all gone, car (in a british accent more like carrre. Brayson is into climbing right now, he climbs up on the ladder on his fort, climbs up and down the slide, climbs onto our table from the chair. I am so blessed to have such a fun, loving, smiling, energetic, sweet, and beautiful boy. I love him more and more every day and smile every day because of something new he does.

Chatterbox

Brayson has really become the chatterbox lately, now at 16 months he has quite the list of words....
-dada
-mamaaa
-socks
-shoes
-car
-buh bye
-uh oh
-puppy
-up
-papa
-grampa not grandpa
-gramma
-Bare for his friend Barron
-cracka for cracker
-book
-milk
-yes
-no
and the list goes on with his own little language he talks in and all the tractor and car sounds he makes. It is so much fun and brings so much joy when he says a new word to me for the first time. Raising him is the best thing ever and brings such a smile to my face daily.

I've been MIA....

with my baby boy! We have been so busy in the last month celebrating, we had daddy's birthday, Brayson's birthday and Christmas all in a month's time. Talk about busy momma :)
We sounded the alarm for our little man's 1st birthday by having a fireman theme party at no other place than our local fire hall! Such a fun birthday theme it was, red and yellow balloons & table coverings, fire themed foods, fireman hats, firetruck toys, pinata fun, firetruck cake, and great family & friends to enjoy the day. We had such a great time just seeing little man enjoy his party and eat his 1st piece of birthday cake. I truly am blessed that I get to call myself his mom.
