Brekken

In a few days Brekken will be 14 months old. It doesn't even seem possible that he will be that old. :) But the past two weeks have been a major growth spurt for him. He has started walking, learned to wave bye (I think he def. coulda done this earlier but we never did it really), started blowing kisses, and blowing on his food and toys to make them work. It has been really fun to see all the fun things he has learned in the past few weeks, because while we all know our kids learn every day, you can't always see what they picked up. :)

He mainly only says mama, dada, and no. Although I am pretty sure he has been trying to say dog, Razzle (our dogs name), and I have heard him say ball, and a few other words, but right now his brain is all about the physical activities he is learning. I am sure one of these days those will slow down and he will pick up talking at a rapid rate. :)

He loves to be outside, loves to play with Marlee, doesn't really play with baby toys...he wants the big kid stuff. He is usually a very happy, mild tempered little man, but he can throw a fit when he thinks he needs to, and he will def "yell" at you if you aren't doing things the way he would like.

My favorite (not being mean) is when the door is open for something, and it's not time for him to go outside, but he really wants to, so he crawls as fast as he can over to the door (usually while I am shutting it), and while he is crawling he is yelling at me the whole time. It makes me feel bad, but it is seriously the funniest thing to me. :)

 He loves to be in these chairs...

 and to play in the dirt...

 and to laugh...often...

 and his first (or maybe second) owweee. He fell out of a chair kinda like the one before...straight onto his face. He had a bloody lip, and I am pretty sure it may have broken his nose. He didn't catch himself, and I couldn't get to him fast enough. :(

And my little walker...
