19 Months!

• he says MAMA!!!! FINALLY! (: (he used to say it when he was younger, it was even his first word! But a while ago, he started calling me 'BA' for some ODD reason! but finally he said it! he started out saying 'bama' haha, but now he's got it down perfect & says it allll day long! i LOVE it! (:

• he is still doing really good with pronouncing words & copying words we say. I swear, everyday he gets better & better!

• he says 'peaaase' & gets the sweetest look on his face whenever he wants something. VERY hard to say no to ;) haha.

• he's been going on his potty a lot! & i can tell how proud he gets of himself after he does it! Mama is very proud, too!

• he drinks out of regular cups & water bottles really well now! it's pretty rare that he spills.

• he loves to put on daddy's deodorant. he'll grab it & say 'dadas' than he'll take the lid off, & start putting it on his neck. haha. I'm showing him where it reallly goes, though. but now half the time he smells like Ryan!

• he is absolutely OBSESSED with closing doors. and the doors with handles, instead of the twisty knobs... he can open.

• he is so mean to kids his age, but likes older kids & babies.

• even though he's mean, he can also be the sweeetest little boy on the planet!

• if anyone has ever been to Samurai 21, or any Japanese steakhouse (that does this) at the hibachi grills, you'll know what I'm talking about... But you know how at the end, the cook will do the 'shrip toss' & you try to catch it in your mouth? Well Bransyn has decided that he wants to be just like the cook, so whenever he has a fork, or spatula or anything like that... he'll pretend to throw something off of it into your mouth! haha. SO funny! & don't worry, he only uses his little plastic forks! haha

• his hair grows SO fast! I pretty much have to cut it once a month now! it also sticks up a LOT! haha.

• if you ask him if he wants a baby sister, he will shake his head yes! haha. he used to shake his head no to a baby brother, but now he says yes to that, too! Unfortunately, (for BOTH of us, haha!) he will not be getting either of those for quite some time :(

• he copy's us SO much now!

• he says 'up up up' when he wants someone to hold him, or if he just wants something!

• he absolutely adores all of his grandparents! he would rather be with them, than me & Ryan anyday! haha.

• he loves to throw stuff away in the trash. sometimes after I change his diaper, he will put his hand out for me to give him the diaper, than go throw it away (: he will also throw wrappers & stuff away.

• he HATES to drink water. I usually have to sneak it in with something, like he gets 1/4 juice & 3/4 water. (since he is OBSESSED with fruit juices!)

• he is also obsessed with bryce, haha. that's one of the few names he will say.


A lot of what he's been doing this past month, is the same as the one before... just getting better at it all! It amazes me at how much his pronunciation of things can change in just a few days. Or how he remembers things when we haven't 'talked about/practiced' them in a while! He is still a a big little helper & loves to be outside! But he is still doing new & different things allll the time! (: I'm so proud of my big boy!
