18 months and counting- BIG GUY!!

WOW! Time really goes by so quickly and it seems like only yesterday we were getting excited to have Branson and now he is pretty much a TODDLER, with a little brother/sister of his own on the way! Sometimes I can't believe he is really running all over the place, babbling up a storm. We really continue to fall more and more in love with him as his personality comes out. He is a fun little boy and would never pass up the chance to run around with us playing "Monster." He loves to giggle and we can just start laughing at nothing to get him going too. One of our new favorite things to do with him is sing songs with him on the couch or in his room before bedtime and say our prayers. He loves giving HUGS and KISSES, but likes to push Mommy and Daddy together for smooches even more! He has such a sweet heart and gentleness to Him. I could just go on and on..... He is saying more everyday, even though the "average" person might not understand him :). WE DO! Here are some of our FAVORITE "WORDS":
BENTLEY= BAHVOO
MILK=NOOOK
CAT=AAAACKK!
FRUITSNACK=BAABACK
BYE=DYYYY
PLEASE=MMMMEEEEE
THANK YOU=TANK
CARS(The Movie)= VROOOM VROOOOM
FINDING NEMO=FEEESHIE
TRAINS=CHOO CHOO
JACKSON=JACK JACK
TAYLOR=TAY TAY
GRANDPA=PAPA
OK, well he has lots of other little words, many that are actually understandable, like asking for more, saying lots of NO's, asking for Help or Up, or letting us know when he is stuck... "I STUCK."
He's learning and growing everyday. He is our little CHUNK! He is back in the 90th percentile for size, weighing in at about 29 pounds. I dont know where he gets it. I keep thinking he is going to slow down, but so far he is maintianing his title as that "Big Kid" but atleast he's got a BIG HEART to go along with it! We couldnt love him more...
