Well this week has been interesting and caused me to be done listening to whines and grunts for Brayden to get what he wants. The kid can talk when he wants to so this week we started learning words for things he wants, and I have said that word multiple times till he picked up on it and started saying it when he wants it. We learned "UP", "DOWN", "MORE", "THANK YOU", "PLEASE", "OUTSIDE", "INSIDE", "SNACK" and I think that is all. Not only does he know these words but he knows what they mean to!! I thought it was pretty good for a few days!! I have been hearing alot less crying these days and alot more talking.

Brayden is now a champ at taking off his own diaper too, we must put pants on him right away or he will have no diaper on before we know it. Silly boy!!

We have finally elimated his late afternoon/evening nap and have him on one nap per day just after lunch. It is a hard time sometimes but it has been working out ok. He is also doing really well with putting himself to sleep and not getting so grouchy!! He just falls asleep on his blanket and then we put him in his bed!

He is getting so big so fast, I can't get over it. He can reach the counters easily, and we often find him with things we wouldn't expect like a package of buns, bananas, and whatever else we leave on the island!! We are learning!!
