Life Lately

The Bellon's have been busy lately! Brayden is now officially 18 months old. I was going to do an 18 mon. post, but we wound up being really busy that day (more on that later), and now it seems silly to post it almost a week late! Toddlers are such interesting little creatures, that's for sure. The tantrums are in full swing. Most are pretty funny...it's just humorous to watch someone so small throw themselves on the floor! :) Brayden has learned to use "yes" and "no" correctly, which helps tremendously. He's also started taking our hands and leading us where he wants to go. He still loves cars and "nains" (trains). He adores being outside and all activities that require being outside. Exhibit A, playing in the sprinkler!:





We have also been working on eating with a spoon. He does really well, surprisingly. 3/4 of the food actually makes it to his mouth!



In other exciting Bellon family news...we're finally in our new house! Our first night here was last Friday (B's 18th month birthday). There's still boxes everywhere, but we're so excited! Pictures to come soon, promise.
Have a great weekend, friends!

'tis time for an update!

...An update with no pictures, unfortunately. Soon, though!
We finally closed on our house a few weeks ago! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We don't live there yet, but we're getting closer! So far all we've done is made a great big mess, but it's getting there. I am kicking myself daily for forgetting to take "before" pictures!
Brayden is officially in toddler-hood and it's exciting and scary all at the same time. He's just so gosh darn funny! His new favorite thing is to blow kisses. To everyone. Us, his teachers at school, the waitress, the security guard at the mall, etc. He still loves cars, loves being outside, and loves to throw things in the "sash". His hair is getting longer and is getting curlier by the day (and blonder, thanks to all the recent sunshine!). He weighs 22 lbs and is 31 inches tall. He loves to lift his shirt and say "belly!" He loves to point out family members and say everyone's name. He loves to climb the stairs (which is a big no-no). He learns new words all the time and we're constantly amazed at how much he understands and the things he imitates.
So, there's our update. :) Pictures soon!
