We're having a GIRL!

We found out Brandon will have a baby sister sometime in June! We're very excited for the newest and last addition! We don't have a name yet, and we're open to suggestions!

I'm really sorry my fellow blog readers for falling 6 weeks behind on updating the blog! I returned to work January 24th and the last month has just flown by! Brandon is 16th months old, and has been so much fun to be with. Its becoming harder to take pictures of him since he is so active! His all time number one thing he wants to do is go outside and walk! He rather walk than play at the park! He loves street signs and will check each one out! We have some videos hopefully we'll get some posted soon. Below are some pictures taken in the last month.

We have a climber on our hands.. he is on a mission to get on top of the toy box, he already can climb half way up the bookcase!

Brandon is daddy's helper in the garden! He loves to play in the dirt and water.

He's really into puckering his face and looks like a fish! I have no idea where he picked this up from.

You see all the wood chips? that's Brandon chewing on the TV stand!! We'll replace our furniture after baby number 2 finishes teething too!

He's getting taller!!

He's not much of a ham for the camera right now, but still cute regardless!

Brandon has a few favorite movies now, the newest one is Madagascar, he loves zoo animals! He literally laid here and watched the whole thing one morning!

This pillow pet by the way, is his favorite and he will take it away from you if you rest your head on it!!

Getting older means trying new foods! He is still VERY PICKY but... He will only eat a WHOLE pear that is somewhat soft, if you slice it he won't touch it.

He's also eating GoGurts now

and he eats other foods too.. one being grilled cheese, but eats the crust first! What kid likes the crust?! He also has to eat a banana in the grocery store, you can imagine what the cart can look like !

He's learning early what utensils are needed to be a cook!

Brandon reading "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb"

Brandon loves the book, "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" he decided he was going to read to us! He loves when we say "dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum" this is his version of it.

Brandon's Gym Class

Brandon has been attending gym class since October, this was my first time getting to see him in action. He usually goes with the babysitter. It was so cute to see him explore and try new things! Aunt Nancy paid for this round of classes for Christmas! Thank you!

Brandon's .8 mile WALK, not stroller, not carried, WALK

Today we decided to go to Osage Park and check out the park with his new sand toys then push Brandon in his "car" around the track. Brandon, however, had something different in mind. He had no interest in the park, and wanted to push his car. We passed many people commenting how well he was walking and Brandon smiled and waved at everyone dogs included! The map below shows the park route.

Brandon knows the importance of staying hydrated!

and we're off again!

OK, I'm pooped, you can push me the last leg.

Brandon's Cleaning Service

Brandon loves to Vacume and sweep, but really loves to vacume. He always wants to help when we pull out our vacume! He's quite good at it, and understands how it works.. He only charges a bottle of milk per room, call if you want a maid!
