Post nap hair


Just another lazy Saturday. As spring nears, we are already making lists of the house projects we hope to accomplish by the end of the summer....
We couldn't resist taking a picture of Brandon after his nap today. Just look at that hair!!!!
Brandon and I met up with a new friend at the park today. Tamara's son is just a few days older than Brandon and just as big!!! We had fun chasing them around and sharing snacks (as much as one year old boys will share).

Milestones & more to remember

Brandon seems to change so much each week, it's hard to keep up with it all. Here are a few more things that I don't want to forget as Brandon gets older:

1. plops in my lap with a book in his hands
2. dancing to the music, any tune will do
3. practically runs away from us when he has something he is not supposed to have
4. started throwing mini-temper tantrums.....boy is that fun, especially when we take something away from him

More developmental achievements:
1. says two words: Mama & Dada
2. Follows simple commands (bring me the book/toy)
3. put objects into containers
4. takes objects out containers (is very good at this, fast too!)
5. has started imitating us, can wave, clap, shake his head no
6. drinks from a sippy sup, our cups, and a straw
7. walks well (has been doing this since ~10 months, can walk sideways
8. started using utensils (with our help)
9. lifts his shirt, points to his belly button when asked where is your belly button
10. stack his mega blocks

Hanging out


Brandon likes to stack and unstack the blocks on his new train (thanks Aunt Peggy and Uncle Brian) and Jake is quite fond of chewing on the blocks....

Being silly


Finally caught Brandon being silly on video last week!

Jake is such a good dog, Brandon had been bouncing on him for a minute before I got the camera.
