18 months old - about Braxton

Braxton...today you are 18 months old! Here is a photo we took this morning to celebrate the milestone!

What are you doing these days?
1. You count to 5.
2. You run up and down the hill in our backyard like a champion.
3. You are able to follow new commands like: "turn around", "touch your toes", "nod your head", "give me five", "stay", "come here", "sit down", "give it to daddy" and "put it back". Though you don't say any of the commands you do listen and obey most of the time.
4. You can play the game "touch your...toes, belly, ears, head, nose, mouth"
5. You ask for a "cookie" often (who taught you that word?) and we always tell you, "here is your cookie" and hand you a cracker, or Cheerios, or fruit to eat
6. You like to say "uh-oh spaghetti-ohs" but it sounds like "uh-oh pagetti" when you say it

Good Times!!! baby boy......
1) I love it when you get excited and run to the top of the stairs screaming “aaaahhhh” when I walk in the house!
2) I love that whenever you give daddy a kiss you automatically turn to give mommy a kiss too
3) I love that you say the phrase "e-i-e-i-doe" repeatedly whenever you get in trouble...as if it has magic powers
4) I love to watch you tickle people because instead of saying "tickle tickle" you say "de de de" in a really cute high pitched voice
5) I love that you are not shy around other people (instead you say "hi" loudly to anyone you see and yell "dog" any time a dog walks past our house)
6) I love to watch you snuggle with daddy every night at bedtime
7) I love it when you do something good and then you clap your hands to applaud yourself
