BRANDON 2.5...

Our little man is 2 1/2 today; it amazes me how fast times go by.  I can't remember a time when this special tiny human wasn't in our lives.  He brings us SO. MUCH. JOY.  Brandon Elijah is funny, I mean the kid is a crack up!  He does the silliest things and is a lot like his big sister in that respect.  When he's tired or not feeling well, he has a very short fuse... there he is a lot like his mama.  And he can be a very sound sleeper (thank you Lord!) which is a lot like his daddy.

Our little man loves to run, climb, read books and use his imagination.  He has a GREAT imagination.  He loves music... any of it.  LOVES the chance to play any instrument and LOVES watching others play them live (he'll watch on youtube or tv, but if we see someone playing in person, it stops him in his tracks).  He enjoys watching videos (favorite is still Mickey Mouse but we've discovered Daniel Tiger and Thomas the Train which are also big hits).  He's still a good eater, but his appetite is starting to slow down.  Currently, Brandon weighs 30lbs and is 36 inches tall which puts him pretty much direct center (50%) on the growth chart for his age.  He has 7.5  molars (that 8th one recently broke through) and 12 front teeth (6 on the top, 6 on the bottom).  If you spell CAT and DOG, he can tell you what those two words spell and he can count to 20. Our little man is also a good communicator... his vocabulary is wonderful for a two year old.  Oh... and he has this sweet little baby voice.  I LOVE listening to him speak, just so I can hear his sweet little voice :0)

Brandon Elijah, like his sister, is a gift from God.  We are truly blessed.
