Brecken {17 Months Old}

Brecken is nearly a year and a half old.  He is such a busy boy, so much crazier than his sister was at this age (but we wouldn't have it any other way).

 

 

Here is what you have been up to the past month:

 

Playing some golf.

 Helping Daddy mow the lawn.

Loving your sister.

 Eating sweet corn.

 Playing in the water table.

 Helping with chores.

Celebrating the best Daddy in the world!

Brecken's 17 month stats:

• Weight: 18 pounds
• Length:  31 inches 
• Clothes: You are wearing 6-12 month clothes . You are wearing 12 month sleepers. 
• Shoes: You wear a size 4 shoe.
• Diapers: Mostly cloth diapers with Pampers (size 3) at night
• Food: Your favorite meal is breakfast and you eat a ton usually.  Then you barely eat anything for lunch or dinner.  You like waffles, pancakes, french toast, eggs, strawberries, grilled cheese, pizza, chicken, watermelon. In the past week we have switched you over to whole milk in an effort to fatten you up.  You dropped down to 17 pounds in the past couple of weeks while you were sick but are now back up to 18 pounds. 
• Development: You understand so much but have a hard time putting that into words.  Your balance is amazing and you run like crazy. You stand on top of everything (bikes, stools, etc).  We you stand up, you put your arms straight up like you are so proud.  You have started to use the potty.
• Words: You woof when you see a doggie. You say "I did it" after you use the potty. You now say hot, uh-oh, Dada, hi, hello, bye bye, thank you and Chesney.
• Teeth: No new teeth this month.
• Sleep:  You go to bed around 7 pm and wake up at 7-8 am.  You take a 1.5 hour morning and afternoon nap.  Your morning nap is around 9 and afternoon around 1.
• What I love about you: You are a happy boy.  You love being outside whether you are pushing a lawn mower, running, swinging or playing in the water.   Your new love is the lawn mower. You get mad if we bring you inside but the second you hit your crib, you are ready to go to sleep.  You give the best kisses (open mouth and all).

Happy 17 months Brecken!  We love you so very much!
