Time continues to fly by- Brady is now 18 months old and I still can't believe it. This is the latest picture I have of him, unfortunately he didn't like Santa very much this year. Brady is a very smart little boy who has a big heart. He is full of character and personality and it's all starting to show through. I sometimes have a strange feeling that his terrible twos and threes will come early, and will be very terrible. Some things about Brady at a year and a half:
- He's learning to talk. He can say a few words like Hello, Hi, Please, Thank you, Let's go, Here you go, and No. He's starting to figure out the difference between Yes and No and trying to say Yes when he wants something. He loves to jabber!
- He loves to flush the toilet. I am slowly introducing him to the idea of going to the bathroom on the toilet. Sometimes he will go into the bathroom, put his little green seat on the toilet, flush it and then clap and say yay! Haha, at least he is catching on to some of it!
- Loves to play with cars and blocks. He is starting to get better at stacking his blocks and building towers. And he loves to drive his cars all around the living room and sometimes makes little car noises. He also loves to throw everything on the floor.
- Brady has learned to love bedtime. When I give him his cup of milk and say "it's bedtime" he gets up and walks to his room, waits for us to come in and then shuts the door behind us. He knows when he is tired and ready for bed.
- He is trying to communicate and gets really frustrated when we don't understand what he wants, which leads to a lot of whining.
-Brady loves his day home and has some friends there that he really likes to play with. He eats really good there so it makes me feel good that he eats good at least 3 days out of the week. When he is at home he doesn't want to eat anything and almost every day I try to give him something for lunch and dinner and end up making him a peanut butter sandwich instead because he just throws whatever I offer him to the floor. It's frustrating, but I'm working on it. He still only has 5 teeth too, hopefully those others will come in soon!
-He is a HUGE momma's boy. He always wants mom and loves to cuddle and watch cartoons. He is slowly starting to go to his dad a bit more, but sometimes he gets mad if dad tries to come on the floor and play with us. Tonight Cody tried to come play blocks with Brady and I and Brady pushed him away, climbed onto my lap and started crying. Hopefully he will grow out of this, although it sure makes me feel very loved!
There are a billion things I could say about Brady and how smart he is and how much he is growing and changing but for now I'll just post a few pictures of the last few months.
