15 Months

Happy (late) 15 months Burke!!!

This is a recent pic of Burke taken the other day. My, how he has grown. At his 15 month appt, he was 21.3 pounds and 30.5 inches tall. He's still small for his age, but he fits in great with all his toddler friends at daycare.
He is so independent now and is full-time in the toddler room as of Monday. He's eating with utinsils, climbing, talking more and more every day and walking (running) everywhere! He even takes naps on the cots at daycare- there are no cribs in the toddler room. :) He says "mama, dada, Ma (for Max), Nuk, no, night night, car, ball, all done and more that I can't remember. Seems now he learns a new word every day.
He has to be near his brother all the time and along with the brotherly love comes the sibling rivalry I guess. They now will fight over toys, food, etc. It can get tense, but I wouldn't change a thing. They adore each other. I can't believe he's already 15 months. I am so happy to watch him grow up and become a boy, but it makes me sad that time has gone so quickly. I can't even think about the fact that in a year, we will be sending Brayden off to school. UGH. We're just trying to make great memories for the kids now and in the future as a family. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings....I love myboys! :)

Brayden's B-day Party





Just some pics from Brayden's b-day party this year. We went to Pump it up. A lot of kids from his class at school were able to come, which made it a ton of fun!

Happy B-day Brayden!





Brayden turned 4 years old yesterday. I can't believe it. Only one more year and he'll be off to kindergarten!! WOW. Time flies.
He is such a smart, active, fun little boy to be around. Everyday it is something new he learned or something he inquires about. He LOVES to chat your ear off and he loves to be around his family.
Of course he loves the typical 4 year old boy things too- Batman, Spiderman, and really any Superhero will do. He loves swimming and gymnastics and playing baseball at home. He loves to wrestle around with his baby brother and he loves to big a big brother.

4 years ago was a day I will never forget. It was one of the best, most memorable days of my life. Happy 4th Birthday Brayden- we love you so much!

Chicago




Steve won a trip to Chicago through work. We had a great time. Here are a few pics from the trip. Thanks TCF!

That can't be comfortable...



This is the 3rd time in 3 days I have found him in this position sleeping. So much for the bumper! :)

Batman



Brayden loves Batman. Well, he loves any super hero, really. Just thought these pics were cute with him in the Batman mask, Batman PJs, and the Batman crocs.
