A Year and a Half

Braxten is 1.5 years old!

We have a baby boy that is 1.5 years old!!! He is so full of energy and life that we almost can't keep up. He is so sweet 99% of the time and has a slight temper when he is tired and isn't getting his way. His personality is in full swing and we love every second of it. We, of course, think he is the smartest little boy around (as every parent does) and can actually see him learning every day. He loves to figure out how and why things work, interested in the bolts and screws that hold things together, the hinges that allow doors to open, the handles and wheels of toys and cars. If we show him something once he is instantly trying to do it himself. He is a curious little man that loves to explore. He would stay outside all day long if possible and has learned to get his shoes and our shoes to start, grabs one of our fingers and drags us to one of the doors any time we are inside. He is a climber, a jumper, a runner and a spinner that exhausts himself by the end of the day and crashes each night as he hits the mattress of his crib. Braxten loves his stuffed animals, throwing balls, being chased and his laugh is contagious. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't wonder how we got so lucky to be his parents.  We love you little buddy, thank you for all the love, joy and laughter you have brought into our lives.
