Brayden turned 16 months today! I feel like he hasn't changed that much over the past month, but then I look back at his 15 month pictures or step back and think about the new things he learned this month and am amazed. Some of the changes are small, but to a mother/parent they mean the world!!
For the most part, Brayden's stats and schedule have pretty much stayed the same.

This month:
-Brayden is loving the following things right now: his music, his books (and lots of them), his little people toys, playing with Bailey, his milk cup, puzzles, dancing, singing "if your happy and you know it" and stomping his feet, his hats, vacuuming, his blankies and teddy, bath time, and the Christmas lights and decorations. Oh and today we took the roof off of his outdoor slide/playhouse and moved it inside for the winter..he loved it and it kept him entertained for close to an hour! Seriously!
-Brayden's vocabulary now also includes the words mop and more. He is also getting better at using the words he says at the correct time. For instance, he will walk up to the stove and say "hot", or reach for the Christmas tree and say "help" (for turning the lights on).
-Although we are in a bit of a "screaming phase", Brayden can now say "help" and "more". He has been able to sign "help" and "more" for a few months now, but once he started saying them, he has kinds stopped signing them and just started this little scream thing. So we are working on encouraging him to say "help" or "more" when he needs something! It has taken about a week, but we have seen a drastic improvement in the past two days! The screaming is slowly fading and "help" and "more" are being said more often instead!

Other Updates:
-Brayden now has 8 teeth and is cutting his first two bottom molars! I wonder how long it will take them to come through. You can see four white dots/points, but that is about it.
-We also gave Brayden his first try of peanut butter this past weekend and to say he loved it was an understatement!
-This past week, we cut out Brayden's night time milk cup. Last month we had cut it down from about 6 oz. to 3 oz, which temporarily helped with him leaking through his diapers at night. However, after close to two straight weeks of Brayden waking up at 6 or 6:30am soaking wet, I decided enough was enough! So we started giving Brayden a little bit more milk during snack time after his nap and then give him half a cup of milk at dinner instead. So far, so good!
