Brantley turned 1.5 years old a couple weeks ago! We are amazed how fast our little man is growing. Price and I had a discussion last night that we think B has entered the "terrible two's!" In many ways, I am happy with that. We are lucky to be able to focus solely on him right now and hopefully we can get this stage done and move on :) That's not to say that for every frustration, we don't have many more special moments with him. He continues to be the sweetest boy ever, so caring and loving, and he has such a big heart. He is talking more and more and he understands everything! He can blow his nose in a tissue and knows how to go throw it away in the trash can. He reads all the time and loves making connections with things in his books: if he sees a ladybug, he wants to go find other ladybugs in the house or in other books. He can kick a ball, jump, and loves doing the downward dog yoga position to make you laugh. I continue to feel so blessed to be raising a little boy and motherhood/parenthood is simply: the best journey ever. As a random stranger we passed on the Black Water Creek trail last weekend said, when Brantley was throwing a bit of a fit: "I remember that phase...and you will miss it!" Every moment of this challenging stage is worth remembering!
So, here are Brantley's BIG boy stats from his 18 month checkup:
33 lbs and 35 inches long
WOW!
