15 - 17 Month UPDATE :)

Well, you may want to say Bradley is still a baby! But, think again... this little boy is growing like a little weed. He is very independent, social, happy, and all around just a good boy.

 He continues to amaze us each day with the things that he learns. Most recently his ability to climb up onto the couch by himself and with in the last 72 hours climb off without face diving.

 He is getting closer and closer to being put into a big boy bed. We are fearing the day that he figures out how to climb out of the crib. We are hoping that wont be till the crib is ready to be put to use again. We are hoping that is sooner rather then later. :)

The past few months have flown by with the little man ... Tomorrow he will be 17 months! I can't believe how fast time is going by. Before I know it we will be celebrating his 2nd Birthday! This little boy has stolen my heart and I can't remember my life before he came into it. He is the sweetest, funniest, most adorable little  man I know.

He is prepping himself for the terrible twos... we can see some tantrum style things coming out. Especially when he doesn't get his way. Can't have something he wants. Can't get into a room that he wants to get into. Ect. But, for the most part he is a good listener and knows the word NO... just can't always expect him to listen to it.

Bradley, is a talker :) He is full of it when he talks ! He can say few words, most are hard to understand. I can usually pin point a few that are actual words but, just don't sound correct yet. Some of them include...
* Baba
* Mama
* Dada
* Okay (O tay)
* Shit
* ass
* Oh
* No
* Yes
* Yeah
* Hi
* shush
... I'm sure there are more but, that's all I can think of right at this moment.

Bradley, is full blown walking and the newest trend is to run! He runs from you, to you, from room to room... ect.

Bradley, loves music! He loves to dance... you can always catch him shaking back and forth. His newest move is stomping his feet :) He learned it from one of the raffi videos we have :)

He is into just about anything now n' days! His favorites are the plunger, toilet cleaner, dogs water bowl, dogs food bowl. He will stick his feet in both. He will also carry around the plunger ;) GROSS!

His favorite toys to play with as of right now are Dinosaurs, race cars, and anything musical :) Including his doggy, and police car.

Bradley, has quite the appetite! He eats just about anything... haha! I wish!!! He has become quite the picky eater :( But, were working on finding things that he likes...
* Bread
* Cheese
* Noodles
* Crackers
and some other things...
*Yougurt
ect...

He continues to be on Soy Milk :( His body can't handle much dairy! He is still on bottles and since the California trip that is all... I'm working on getting him back onto sippy cups!

Bradley, is still on a strict schedule as of right now he goes to bed at 730 every night! Gets up around 8am :)

Happy boy, Happy Mommy & Daddy and his best friend Chief :)

Good Bye Sesame Street!!

The little boy that I once was able to hold in my arms and kiss and cuddle with is growing up before our eyes! If you know Bradley, you know he loves Sesame Street... over the past few weeks he has been interested in other things. We've been noticing that he likes other things besides just Sesame Street ... So, today I decided that it was time to say goodbye to the furniture that he has had in his room the past few months. So, I sold them!

I was able to make his room look like a big boy room :) When we move eventually the theme will change... to something that he wants!

The end product ...

Let me help you mama... LOL

Well, there is no denying that this kid is a BOY! He is into EVERYTHING! I wouldn't trade him for anything though! He is so much fun and such a little lover! He LOVES the dog... I wish I could say the same for the dog. Although the dog has come very far and plays with Bradley extremely well. Chief is still not 100% sure with Bradley and still freaks out and jumps off the couch when Bradley comes towards him on the couch. Other then that though... the two of them are going to have a great friendship as B gets older. 

The other night... Bradley, thought that the kitchen needed some rearranging LOL... he loves the drawers in the kitchen and he also loves the dog water bowl. Combine the two and it's not a great combination LOL. But, he sure does have fun. While he knows the word "No"... obeying it is a different story. 

Here are some photos of the other evening of him playing/rearranging the kitchen :) 

 Chief was not sure what B was doing... it was almost funny as to how he was looking B.

 Again, I could only imagine what Chief was thinking...

 And... another "what in the world are you doing, bro" LOL

 And... the final rearranged kitchen :)

It was clean up time after he went to bed  LOL!

Bradley's Book ...

Bradley, is a lucky little boy! He's got a fairly big family... both sets of Grandparents, 2 sets of cousins, 2 aunts, an uncle, on top of extended great aunts, great uncles, cousins, and more cousins, and just lots of people that love this little boy! He isn't lucky since we live so far away from everyone. Being that he is so young, we can only Skype so often before he forgets... So, for Christmas his Mamo made him this neat book filled with family photos in it. He just loves it!!! It's all foam and the laminated photos in it are perfect so he can look at it, bend it, and do just about anything to it... and so far so good. He loves photos, he loves to point to them and babble. 

Here are some photos of him looking at the book. I use it to help me change his diaper. It gives him something to look at :) 

Love, this little boy :)

Mommy Builds I destroy ... Fun ?

YES!!!

 Bradley, had fun in California when we went back in December playing with the "Big Blocks" that Mamo & Papa had at their house. So, when we got back we decided that we would get Bradley some for Christmas. Needless to say, he loves them! Every time I dump them out... he SCREAMS and claps like it's the best thing in the world. 

Daddy and Mommy like to build towers with them. Bradley, likes to break them apart and knock them over. The other night... I decided to take a photo of the demolition that was taken place :) 

And the end result! Demolition Bradley style ;)
