The little things...

Brayden is just three and a half months shy of being TWO years old. AH! I wrote down the other day things that I never wanted to forget about this stage in my little boys life and I wanted to share it on here.

• Brayden LOVES fruit, he especially loves to eat apples, WHOLE. Cutting it up is no fun, he likes to chow down on the entire apple.

• He doesn't want me to rock him to sleep anymore, he points to his crib, and waves bye-bye to me as I lay him down.
• Brayden loves to crash.

  crash/kraSH/

  falling from a standing position or running and falling face first. Has tendancies to give mothers anxiety attacks.
  He crashes into pillows, on the floor, off Grammie and Papas headboard, you name it! The boy loves to crash!
  
  
  
  
  
• He always points out trucks, airplanes, and boats!
• LOVES horses, just like his mommy did. :)
• Brayden loves to be outside no matter how HOT it is. Just add a little water and he is HAPPY!
• He idolizes his Uncle Beau. When Beau visits Brayden is his shadow. Everywhere Beau goes, Brayden is trailing behind in his footsteps.
• He loves to read!

• I wanted to buy a potty seat so Brayden could see it and start getting comfortable with having it. Well, the first night of having it Brayden went in it! I was SO proud. He now goes occasionally without being prompted. We haven't OFFICIALLY begun but I think he is going to do great! (Knock on wood!)

• SHOES! How could I ever forget shoes! Brayden LOVES wearing all of our shoes. Flip-Flops, heels, boots, tennis shoes, he loves SHOES!
• He is a climber.

• Loves watching Nemo and Mighty Machines.

• Sometimes favors Papa more than Mommy.

• Laughs the hardest when he and Grammie play hide and seek under the blankets.
• When I pull out my camera to take a picture of him he instantly sticks out his tongue.  Can you say H-A-N-D-F-U-L?

• Brayden does the movements to the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus, and If You're Happy and You Know It! He LOVES to dance!
• Loves being chased and knows when Mama says "I'm gonna get you!" thats it's on! :)
• He gives the best kisses and snuggles ever.

I have never been more in love with such a sweet face. He is amazing and continues to melt my heart more and more everyday.
